ETC Computer Solutions Purchases ComputerLand of Quincy

Two of the Tri-State area’s leading technology solution providers have become one. ETC Computer Solutions has acquired ComputerLand of Quincy. The new organization will be known as ETC ComputerLand and will employ over 40 technicians, web designers and programmers, service and support staff.

“We’re very excited about the potential”, says Eric Thomas, President. “We can capitalize on the strengths of both companies, offering a more diverse, more powerful set of computer solutions and technologies. ETC has always been strong in small to medium size businesses and web development, while ComputerLand has focused their energies on larger networks and server support. By combining the talents and enthusiasm of employees of both companies, we’re confident in our ability to provide more responsive and personal service to any size business.”

Thomas says the acquisition will also help provide cutting edge technology. “Our level of expertise has leaped forward by combining staff. We’ll be able to more easily stay abreast of our constantly changing industry, offering technologies like voice over IP, integrated web-based applications, more efficient connectivity solutions, and multi-national service and support.”

Also important to Thomas is maintaining local ownership. “We have always been very active in the communities we serve, with civic groups and charitable organizations. Local ownership ensures that will continue.”

ETC ComputerLand serves customers within a 150 mile radius of Quincy. They have offices in Kirksville and Hannibal Missouri and also provide service customers nationally with web development. The current offices of ETC will move to the ComputerLand location at 3206 Koch’s Lane.

Local Free Classifieds...

Iliamo.com, the “Tri-State's Online Marketplace,” offers free classifieds to individuals and free help wanted ads to businesses.  And that's just the beginning…

“We want our site to be a place to sell your couch, car or house, and even more” said Eric Thomas of ETC Computer Solutions, operators of the website.  “We want Iliamo.com to be an online destination for the Tri-States, to be a true marketplace where buyers and sellers of all kinds connect.”

To that end, ETC has created a searchable database of local businesses, developed free classifieds software to make posting and viewing classified ads easy, and customized a bulletin board for clubs and other non-profits to post news about themselves. Together with an events calendar and other features, Iliamo.com (which stands for
IL linois – I ow A – M iss O uri) is fast becoming the marketplace it wants to be.
