Name Change For Alaska Computer Brokers

Alaska Computer Brokers is now ACB Solutions.

Alaska Computer Brokers started out as a sales-based business. Since then they have grown into a technology solutions provider for small and medium-sized businesses. The retail store and corporate sales division closed in 2003 and they now provide IT services, computer applications training, and Autodesk solutions. Management felt that it was time that the business name reflected that change.

“We have been known as Alaska Computer Brokers since 1986 and it very much reflected who we were at the time,” said Russell Ball, owner of ACB Solutions, “When we moved to a solutions-based model it became very contradictory to what we were doing.”

The move to a technology solutions provider came about as a result of changes in the technology industry.

“As technology progressed, people became more interest in solutions for their business rather than just a product off-the-shelf,” said Ball. “By moving to a solutions-based model, we felt that this company could offer its clients a better value. “

Alaska Computer Brokers officially became ACB Solutions on July 1, 2009. The name ACB Solutions was chosen because it was close enough to Alaska Computer Brokers (or ACB) that it would be recognizable but also reflected the fact that the company now provides technology solutions.
