In 1988, Branscome Paving Company was created by Julius Branscome, he is both the owner of Branscome Incorporated and an area contractor working in Northern Virginia since 1962.
To the present day, Branscome Paving Company functions as a family-owned, local business that provides asphalt paving, stone, and milling services to the area. Kathy Bowman is the Office Manager of Branscome Paving Company, and the business has worked with Jewell Technical Consulting, Inc. for the past few years. When Branscome Paving employed JTC, Inc.’s services, the company did not have a server, which was a problem for the company’s accounting department.
“We were pretty vulnerable before [the server] because there was not an on-going backup system,” said Bowman, “We had a breach…several years ago…and because one computer crashed it took all the data for all of our programs and we lost everything…we had to virtually start over from scratch.”
When JTC, Inc. deployed the server and put all of Branscome Paving’s data into one central location, it served to prevent a similar problem.
JTC, Inc. was especially crucial to Branscome Paving’s accounting department because all of the business’ payroll data was stored there and at risk. Plus, Bowman said that “In the past we had a particular accounting program and we weren’t able to utilize it because we had not been set up with that supplier, and JTC managed to facilitate all that for us and get our updates on our accounting packages with no problem.”
In effect, JTC. Inc. has given Branscome Paving the security it needed and the freedom from pesky and time consuming updates.
Ultimately, JTC, Inc. has made it easier and more secure for Branscome Paving and its clients.
“We feel like we’re more protected from viruses and computers crashing,” said Bowman, “I feel a lot more confident now.”
Bowman described the experience setting up the new server as “seamless” and as Branscome Paving’s primary IT provider, JTC oversees the server and regularly checks it for any suspected breaches and issues.
One of the most important reasons why Branscome Paving chose JTC, Inc. is that unlike other similar businesses, JTC, Inc. was able to meet Branscome Paving’s specific needs. Bowman said that “the key part” Branscome Paving needed was the ability to keep the capabilities of their own accounting package and link it to JTC, Inc.’s IT services. “Other IT providers had not provided us with that service, that was key for us,” said Bowman.
