Listen to this articleDYONYX, a leading total IT solutions provider in Houston, Texas, partners with commercial and federal clients to provide IT Managed Services, Cloud, and Security services designed to increase their productivity and reduce their IT costs and burden. The company is celebrating 20 years in business this year, and we caught up with Chuck Orrico, President and CEO of DYONYX, to learn how they’ve continued to succeed in the IT services space over the last two decades, where they see the IT landscape growing and shifting in the years to come, and how their business will continue to adapt to changing times to meet the needs of their clients.
Q: What’s the best thing about DYONYX that people might not know about?
A: We are a Christian-based company that has some of the best employees a company could ask for! We understand and act on Integrity and doing what is right by our clients.
Q: Tell us something more about your history?
A: DYONYX has evolved over the years to meet the needs of the marketplace. We initially began as an IT Outsourcing and Security Consultancy, but as the cloud market grew, we invested in that space with state-of-the-art infrastructure by industry leaders Cisco and NetApp, and created a flexible set of public, private and cloud offerings that can fit the needs of small to mid-sized business as well as enterprises. We see now that many businesses are moving into the public cloud and we are adjusting again to work with partners like Amazon and Microsoft to provide full migration and support services around their offerings.
Q: How does DYONYX differ from other IT solution providers?
A: DYONYX is celebrating 20 years in business this year, which is like 140 years in dog years for this industry which sees swift and drastic marketing changes from year to year!
What sets DYONYX apart is that we are a Total IT Solutions provider, meaning that we do not simply provide a one-size-fits all solution or just a piece of the puzzle. We offer everything from support to security design and testing to cloud deployment and professional migrations that increase efficiency and decrease IT burden for businesses. We sit down with companies to determine their needs and build a customized solution that supports the needs of the organization. Once we design that solution, we can provide continual, 24/7 US-based support and monitoring from our expert team of engineers. While many IT providers only offer commercial or government solutions, DYONYX serves not only the private sector, but the public sector as well. Our clients include the Department of Health and Human Services and the VA. We’re also leaders in the security compliance space, and were selected to lead the creation and instruction of the original North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards, written to protect our electric utilities companies from attacks.
