Automated Business Solutions (Xactec) began in 1991 focusing on assisting businesses select, implement, and maintain IBM midrange computers and related software.
We began providing PC support in the later part of the 1990’s to support the trend toward using PCs as midrange terminals. The PC developed a following of its own and our PC and computer networking business and related consulting was born.
Concurrent with our increasing focus on computers and computer networking we began delivering cabled, wireless, and fiber optic based networking solutions.
The growing popularity of IP telephones and their close integration with computer networks made them a natural fit in our suite of technical solutions for small businesses. In 2005 we added telephones (IP and digital) to our list of solutions for small business.
As the need for quality voice, video, and data cabling in new construction increased in early 2006 we responded. We secured our Virginia Class A Contractor’s license and established a department dedicated to cabling (copper and fiber optics), wireless, and telephones. We have also been awarded a Virginia Private Security Services Business license.
We are positioned solidly in the Williamsburg and Southeastern Virginia community with customers from Richmond to the Atlantic. As the region grows and you grow, we will be here to help.
