A family owned, purpose-driven company: CCB Technology

“We’re here for you every step along the way.”

In the late ‘80s, Chris Booth, an accomplished corporate business executive in the auto and publishing industries, recognized a significant discrepancy in the nonprofit world: he and his wife Patti determined to do something about it. As members of multiple nonprofit boards at a time when technology was becoming a mainstream necessity, they realized that charitable organizations had serious IT needs, but lacked the funds to obtain important tools.

Armed with the desire to empower others through technology, Chris decided to leave his corporate executive position to establish a resource for helping nonprofits. Petitioning companies, Chris secured authorization for charity pricing from major software manufacturers; he then partnered with Microsoft directly in order to write their charity program. Chris and Patti then built a business from the basement of their home, and in 1991 they established Consistent Computer Bargains, Inc., the first company to provide discounted software pricing exclusively for nonprofits.

CCB continues to focus on the people that use the technology first and foremost, connecting and collaborating with partners and customers all across the country.

Success story: Emergency Nurses Association

With over 40,000 members representing over 35 countries, the Emergency Nurses Association is an authority, lobbyist and voice for emergency room workers across the globe. Learn why IT manager Louis Garcia relies on CCB to meet the healthcare IT challenges of its members and the approximately 90 association employees who serve them.

IT is a lifeline: Changes in the healthcare industry often result in urgent IT demands. Working with CCB helps Louis meet his most timely healthcare IT challenge: supporting the people who save lives. “IT is always evolving. People are getting more responsibilities and need more types of software,” he said. “IT is a lifeline. We rely on IT every day.”

Louis looks forward to working with CCB Senior Territory Field Representative Cindy Jeffers because he knows Cindy is there to make his IT life easier. With Cindy’s help, Louis can devote more of his time to helping users, solving technical problems and strategic planning. “One of the benefits [of working with CCB] is the rapport I have with my salesperson, Cindy,” he said. “Working with her makes things very easy, having her research things I need and getting me pricing and getting the items to me has been very, very smooth.”

Resolving pain points: A strong relationship with CCB over the last 14 years meant Louis met every milestone when conducting a server migration. CCB helped Louis resolve his association’s biggest healthcare IT challenges: getting the latest hardware, making sure employees had the right work equipment and dealing with last-minute software licensing requests.

“As new technology comes out, I look forward to having CCB as my partner and having them provide the services I need,” Louis said. “We’ve had a great relationship and I look to the future to having more of a closer relationship.”

“When it comes to growing your business, CCB Technology is your end-to-end solution provider for all things IT.”
