The Minnesota Electrical Association (MEA) presented Thriveon with a Partnering Award at its annual business conference on April 28, 2017. This award recognizes an organization that significantly contributed to MEA’s success in the past year. Thriveon's Network Administrator, Brian Spangler, attended the banquet with his wife, Kristie, and accepted the award from MEA Executive Director Clara DeRosier on behalf of the company.
Since early 2016, Thriveon has partnered with MEA to provide business-level IT guidance and outsourced IT department services that have resulted in: increased productivity, lower costs, better IT decisions and a hassle-free IT experience for their staff.
“The level of support that we get from everyone we work with at Thriveon is incredibly hard to come by in today’s world,” said DeRosier. “They take the time to listen, evaluate our needs and come up with the best solutions for our business.”
Thriveon President and virtual Chief Information Officer Steve Bloedow works closely with DeRosier to learn about business objectives and identify technology initiatives to support them.
“We thank the people at MEA for this special award. We appreciate the trust that Clara and the MEA organization have put in us to strategically connect their technology needs with their business strategy,” said Steve. “We know it was a leap for them to go from internal to outsourced IT support, but this award is evidence that we’re doing what we said we would do, and we’re honored to be their IT business partner, not just an outsourced vendor.”
The Minnesota Electrical Association provides leadership in partnering between contractors, government, employees and consumers to promote quality construction built safely, on time, on budget and at a fair price and profit. The MEA also provides a strong commitment to quality in education, communication, government relations and ethics.
