GLOBAL REACH
Jeff Lackey
President and CEO
A true global technology partner
All enterprise businesses now exist—in some form or another—in the global marketplace, with organizations across every industry broadening their scope to draw resources and clients from around the world.
As a global technology partner, we are committed to delivering exceptional service and support to clients worldwide.
“I think one thing CBTS does really well is that we don’t even talk platforms until you’re on that third or fourth conversation where we really understand the customer requirements, and then we come in and give them the right approach.”
Steve Lankard
Vice President, Infrastructure Solutions
CUSTOMER FIRST
Our holistic, client-first approach
Building trust through a holistic, customer-first approach is one of the most critical pillars we use to create long-term success for our customers. Over time, trust breeds loyalty and efficiency. In contrast, a cookie-cutter approach to customer service will leave clients wanting.
At CBTS, creating a customer-first approach begins with genuinely understanding our client’s needs through consultations, assessments, and data analysis.

INNOVATION
Brian Brickner
Senior Vice President, U.S. Sales and Global Programs
Investing in innovative technology helps you stay competitive in a fast-paced world
Companies face a challenging environment where investing in innovative technology is critical to staying competitive. A failure to innovate and transform could adversely affect the organization’s long-term health.
Modern companies are upgrading apps for better reliability and scalability, prioritizing product, service, and customer experience enhancements over cost-cutting to stay competitive.
SECURITY
Lax data security compliance
puts your business reputation
at risk
There’s no other way to say it: data security breaches are expensive and risk your company’s reputation and your customers’ trust. The security of sensitive data should warrant the attention of C-suite-level executives.
DIGITAL ACCELERATION
Al Early
Senior Vice President and Principal Consulting Services
Digital acceleration helps you stay ahead
The world of technology is constantly evolving, bringing about a wave of change that has the power to reshape our economy and the way we work.
Digital acceleration emphasizes delivery optimization, increased speed-to-value, and risk mitigation at every step, paving the way for a step-by-step approach to delivering tangible results.
BUSINESS ALIGNMENT
How CBTS ensures IT-business alignment
Traditionally, business leaders and IT departments have operated within separate silos, resulting in a misalignment of goals. Breaking down the walls of those silos helps create a harmonious relationship between IT and business leaders which leads to increased efficiency, productivity, and profits.
CBTS recognizes the importance of aligning IT with the goals of the business units they serve, which is critical success factor in any organization.

VENDOR-AGNOSTIC
Scott Seger
Senior Vice President, Global Accounts and Business Alliances
A customized vendor-agnostic approach tailored to you
As a client’s business grows, so do their technological needs. Many turn to a single vendor. This approach can lead to vendor lock-in, where a company becomes reliant on a single vendor, making it challenging to explore other options as their needs change.
By working with a vendor-agnostic partner, you avoid being up-sold products and solutions you don’t need.
TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
How much do you think about total cost of ownership (TCO)?
A TCO analysis provides businesses with a comprehensive understanding of the costs of their products, services, or projects over their expected lifetime. This powerful tool helps identify areas where your organization can realize savings and efficiencies and provides a solid foundation for investment decisions.
By leveraging TCO analysis insights, our clients can reduce costs and gain competitive advantages critical for success in today’s fast-paced business environment.
