An Extension of Your IT Team

Highly trained, certified staff delivering value as a trusted partner.

We are TGS, and we’re an IT solutions company.
While IT is what we know, what we do and what we do well, it only begins to speak to who we are.
Because at TGS, we’re not in the IT solutions business.

We’re in the People business.

Starting with our own. We’re technology experts, certainly, in what is here and what’s to come.
We’re also community leaders. Teachers. Advocates. Entrepreneurs. Passionate individuals who
collectively make up an empathetic team.
Focused, and with an understanding of the needs of the companies we work for and, more importantly, the
people in those companies we work directly with.
Enabling their success, and in turn, ours.
