Over it's 30 year history, 3rd Alternative has consistently been on the bleeding edge of technology.

In an effort to always stay ahead, we have always been early adopters of all technologies. Whether it's being one of the first ISPs,  to being a premeire company that many businesses and municipalties trust to replace or supplement their entire IT departments.

3rd Alternative has always prided itself on being able to get the job done, get it done right, and get it done for less.

Unlike so many other TECH companies, we are not just Geeks but highly skilled technicians who move in all worlds and understand your BUSINESS concerns and needs.

We work for YOU.

SERVICES

It's a difficult task to properly maintain almost machine, but having it done correctly by experienced professionals ensures that you have the best operating environment possible. Our programs are time tested for the best results. After all, we've only been doing for 28+ years.

Opinions are always good idea, and opinions by highly experienced professionals are the best.

We offer our 3rd party consulting services to many businesses and municipalities.

Running wires and getting connected to the Interent is laborious and time consuming. Why not let us do for it you? Our low voltage installations are certified for all types of networks. Data/Phone/CCTV/Security Sytems/ Video Systems, Audio Systems, Fire Systems, etc.

It's difficult to know what your needs may be in the near future, and almost impossible to predict what they will be in the far future. But having people that work with bleeding technology now can help you better paln for your technology needs tomorrow.  

Do you have a backup plan? Do you know how to restore your data in emergency circumstances? Do you know how to safely store your backups? If your entire building burned to the ground, how long would it take you get up and running again? We know how to do it.  

Sometimes things are broken beyond repair. But that does not have to be the nightmare scenario that you have always dreaded.

We may not be able to fix the broken part, but we can save you time and money by recovering what appears to be "lost data".

NEWS

1988-Present

Taking care of computers has been  one of our primary duties since before our inception.

Hailing from the days of mainframe systems and basic telecom. We started taking care of personal computer systems  and networks in 1988,  and have never stopped!

In the early days of the online world, we offered our clients access to Internet email that was batch processed through our online BBS system.

We were among the first to offer live PPP/SLIP connections,via dial-up and then  constant T1 high bandwidth connections for full online connectivity for businesses.

In 1998, we established a unique program to maintain  computer systems and  networks  that were extremely efficient and cost effective. Thus making us the premeire provider of this service.

20 years later, this proven method of computer maintence is still offered and is still efficient and cost effective.

Many clients use us instead of hiring their own IT department.

Many businesses and organizations continue to have a complete online presence and require people  with know-how to help them navigate through the many changes of the online technology world.  Since 2010, 3A has been a complete online presence provider and consultant with services that range from websites, email, email marketing, online stores,  and other related online services.
