In 2001, Derek seized on the needs of the business community and started INTELLI- NET. As smaller company’s computer systems were becoming more complex, and the importance of these systems to businesses became greater, he saw the need to help these businesses design, acquire, and implement computer systems and providing his business acumen to ensure the systems worked well and met their business needs.
As INTELLI-NET grew, and with business partner Erik Rhine, Derek realized the importance of providing advanced security to these business clients. After experiencing first-hand the effects of viruses, malware, and attacks, he realized that growing a Managed IT Business would require significant focus on security, disaster recovery, and planning.
