About Us
In 1986, while finishing college and starting a family, Cathy and Larry Wendt received a call. Larry’s Dad, Al Wendt, was at a Mason Contractors event and mentioned to another Mason Contractor that Larry and Cathy ‘did something with computers.’ Having just brought a computer into his office, the gentleman was having problems, and when he got back in town, called Larry – ‘I heard you work with computers. Mine’s broken; come fix it’ – and there began our support of computers in the Construction Industry.
History of Syscon
In 1986, co-founders Larry and Cathy Wendt were working with the Construction Industry as it began to take advantage of computers for Accounting, Estimating, and Project Management. Recognizing the potential computers could bring to Contractors, and having business relationships in this Industry for many years, the company was formalized as Syscon, Inc. to provide technology solutions.
What Syscon does now
During the subsequent years Syscon has grown to include a full suite of IT services including hardware, network support and maintenance, remote access, backup disaster recovery, automated monitoring with critical updates, anti-virus and anti-spam services, custom software integration solutions, seminars, and educational articles. More recently, Syscon added private cloud hosting, paperless office processing, payroll processing, and other back office support options.
