TLDR: Working with local technicians can be your shortcut to enterprise-level service, a higher rate of dependability, and higher cost-savings overall.

 

Oregon IT Group has been owned, managed, and operated by Oregon born-and-bred Jeremy Henderson for the past 16 years. As an IT expert, having successfully served hundreds of businesses and individuals throughout the years, OITG is proof that local service is the way to go. 

 

When you choose a local IT service, you’ll enjoy several advantages, including greater reliability and stronger community ties. As a local company, we are familiar with the specific challenges and infrastructure of the Eugene-Springfield area, and are able to provide thoughtful, tailored and efficient solutions with a neighborly sense of customer service, because, well, we live here! We are known for our dependable and timely on-site support, which can be crucial for resolving issues quickly and minimizing downtime. 

​

Aside from the benefits we know we can provide, there’s a ton of reasons why going local is the way to go, when it comes to tech. Here’s a more detailed look:

​

• Agility and Flexibility: Local IT companies can be more agile and flexible in adapting to changing technology trends and your specific business needs. 

• Personalized Service: With a smaller client base, local IT companies can dedicate more time and attention to understanding your specific business needs and providing customized solutions. 

• Community Engagement: Supporting local IT companies helps to stimulate the local economy, create jobs, and foster a stronger sense of community. In our case, for example, there's times when we find ourselves patrons of our own clients, when we're not on the clock. 

• Familiarity with Local Infrastructure: Local providers are more likely to be familiar with regional internet and power infrastructure quirks, as well as common regional challenges. 

• Building Relationships: Working with a local IT company allows for face-to-face interactions and the development of stronger, more personal relationships. You will always be able to talk to an actual person when you work with OITG.

• Faster Response Times: Local IT companies like us can often respond to your needs more quickly, especially for on-site support, because they are geographically closer and understand the local business landscape. 

• On-site Support: For businesses without in-house IT teams, local providers offer the benefit of on-site support, allowing for quick troubleshooting and problem-solving. 

• Cost Savings: While not always the case, some local IT companies offer competitive pricing due to lower overhead costs compared to larger, national providers. And with typical reports of lower amounts of equipment downtime, due to quicker response times, your business won’t be losing money while “on pause” for days while you wait for the problem to be addressed. 

​

In essence, choosing a local IT company can offer a more personalized, responsive, and community-focused approach to your IT support needs, while also contributing to the local economy. We are rooting for you, and we will work for you, because we are a part of your local community.
