Our Experience
1998 Steve Smith founded Plus as a CRM provider in Pittsburgh.
Plus focused on the individual need of our clients, rather than a specific solution.
We are still rooted in this philosophy, but through our growth and understanding of organizational business needs we have grown our organization to focus on complete solutions.
Business Intelligence, Platform Services, Security Services, Custom App Dev, and Cloud Services allow us to envision and deliver solutions that assist organization in reaching their fullest potential.
Our pre-project Strategy and in-project Project Management and Quality Assurance ensure we are meeting goals on-time, on-budget, and with the highest standards
