CSI is celebrating its 29th year in business serving the Arlington-DFW metroplex. Founded in 1990 by Arman Aransen, the company began by building and selling personal computers but had a vision of bringing enterprise class technology to the small and medium sized local businesses. At the time, technology was viewed as something for larger companies. Smaller businesses were just beginning to replace type-writers with word processors and computers, but as the use of computers in business and everyday life continued to expand, CCSI increased its service products to include those needed by their growing customer base. CCSI has always focused its business model on customer services; as a result, most of our business is from word of mouth. This has allowed us to maintain a vested group of clients from family-owned businesses and restaurants to healthcare practices and manufacturing companies, with an average client tenure of 15 years. Our well-established team of engineers has been with the company an average of 17 years, with skills ranging from help desk to network design. Our customers trust they’ll receive the best results from a familiar team of invested technicians who’ve worked with their IT systems for years. As an IT outsourcing firm, we have two primary objectives: first, assess and manage all routine IT needs such as hardware/software issues, end-user support, data backups, etc. Second, we ensure that your IT system supports your existing business and work proactively to define future IT system needs. This distinguishes us from other service companies, as we take a personal interest in ensuring your IT systems stay current and futureproof. CCSI is now a full-service IT outsourcing firm providing organizations the opportunity to reduce and control costs by utilizing more efficient, effective and scalable IT solutions. From network planning and implementation, to help desk services and printer/plotter repair, we continue to generate successful business partnerships helping our clients with their every IT need. 38

Texas Insurance Agency
exas Insurance Agency traces its start back to 1959 in east Texas. The agency has gone through many changes over the years and has grown to include several locations in the north Texas area. Texas Insurance Agency is locally owned and operated. “People often ask why choose a local Independent Agency?” says John Parker, who owns the TIA Mansfield operation. “Our response is we represent many different insurance companies, so we can compare coverage and price to give you the best possible value. Simply put ... we work for our clients. We also live and work in the same communities as our insured clients, and as such we are always available for a face-to-face meeting.” Texas Insurance Agency provides auto, homeowners, commercial, and life insurance. It is associated with reputable insurers, including Allstate, Hartford, Mercury, Progressive, Safeco, and Travelers. “These insurance companies allow us to offer a wide range of quality insurance products that are competitively priced,” Parker says. The company has added the ability for prospective clients to get actual real time quotes directly from its website, texasins.net. “This allows the insured to reach out to us 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year,” Parker says. “The client information, as well as the policy pricing, is uploaded to us. We contact the client within 24 hours to confirm and update the information. This has been a valuable tool for prospective insureds because it gives them an idea of what their insurance costs will be.”
