History
Enable Systems Evolution
Enable Systems is an eProcurement and technology provider that offers a complete hosted solution for supporting and automating processes, reducing buyer spending, generating additional revenue and enhancing your customer and supplier relationships.
Enable Systems evolved from Hartford Computer Group, Inc., a 25-year established and successful reseller of IT equipment and services. Founded in 1978, Hartford entered the Information Systems market as a leasing company. Since the market was new and in high demand, mainframe leasing shortly became our specialty. In conjunction with this business, Hartford grew into a mainframe service provider and, following equipment lifecycles, a vendor of disposal and refurbishment services. By the mid 1980’s, Hartford Computer Group’s lease volume exceeded a billion dollar portfolio. However, the technology winds began to shift and eventually the mainframe market started to give way to personal computers.
Once again identifying the changing needs of our customers, Hartford led the way in business trendsetter by transforming our business model into a leading personal computer reseller by the early 1990s. During the 1990s, we gained our in-depth expertise in buying and selling large volumes of goods—both IT and indirect products, such as maintenance and janitorial supplies. Our processes and tools surrounding this massive exchange of commodities moved specialized areas of our business in two other directions: volume management and configuration at our distribution facility and procurement process automation in-house and eventually on-line.
During the later part of the 1990’s, we again found customer requests driving our business focus and, therefore, we developed our Professional Services line of business. Our highly skilled Engineers and experienced Technicians began providing expert outsourcing and consulting services for our customers.
In 1999, recognized its evolution into a multi-dimensional IT reseller, eCommerce business, and professional services company. In response, we formed its main lines of business into three separate business units: Hartford Technical Services, Surplus Village and Enable Systems.
Today, all three organizations are profitable and thriving in their complementary segments of the Information Technology marketplace.
