Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc. Flourishes Amidst Down Economy
Staff doubles, revenue increases as IT engineers continue to implement unique strategies
SILER CITY, NC (April 7, 2009)—Despite the current economic hardships faced by many American companies, Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc., an engineering company focused on IT infrastructure, management and security solutions, is beating the odds. Because of their distinctive approach, Carolina Advanced Digital’s workforce has doubled in just the past four months. The company’s revenue since 2008 has increased by more than 40%, further escalating their five-year growth rate to an astounding 975%.
“These days, numerous companies are shedding employees and reducing costs,” said John Jabbusch, president and chief engineer of Carolina Advanced Digital. “It is truly gratifying to know that we can grow during a time when most companies are retrenching.”
Budget cuts are nearly unavoidable and, though tight, IT spending is still a necessity. With data breach incidents on the rise, network security is even more paramount to an organization’s infrastructure. Carolina Advanced Digital’s engineering culture and involvement with federal, state and local government and commercial IT customers enabled an early realization of the trend towards an increasing dependence upon the network.
“We determined that the evolution of mission-critical network design would require the creation of new analysis, design, documentation and implementation methods, tools, procedures and standards,” claimed Jabbusch.
This creation of the “practical efficacy” design requirement—an ordinal list of mission-oriented and comprehensive design criteria—offers scalable solutions that are both practical and efficient, with costs that are consistent with the customers’ resources.
Jabbusch continued, “Most upgrade plans involve removing existing networks, so we operate on a ‘zero downtime’ policy. Any engineered infrastructure must be carefully phased into operation to greatly mitigate or eliminate downtime and its attendant impact on productivity.”
Combined, Carolina Advanced Digital’s expert engineers have more than 70 years of experience and hundreds of certifications. Jabbusch and his wife, Susan, VP and COO, offer these three pieces of recession-proof advice to other business owners:
- Do not overspend or buy things you cannot afford. Instead, keep your cash and foster growth by investing in your company.
- Do not stray from your company’s vision. Keep focused on your specialties and expertise.
- Be creative. Find ways to spend money that will, ultimately, make more money.
