The Strengths of an Inter-Generational Tech Team
Founded in 1987 Bryley has a diverse group of talent serving its customers – from some for whom this is their first job out of college – like Ethan Brush – to those that (as Lear’s magazine used to say) weren’t born yesterday.
As Bryley’s grown we’ve sought to create a group with unique skill sets, backgrounds and schooling to meet Bryley’s clients’ varied needs. Bryley currently has five employees who have been with the company more than twenty years – like Scott Gold – and three who have been with the company more than ten years.
Because IT veterans have seen the evolution of technologies, because they’ve seen strategies come and go and because they’ve seen the cycles of hype, they know how to make durable networks and what’s going to crash and burn. It’s also important to have techs who are freshly taught in the modern methodologies. At Bryley we’ve built a cohesive team that brings clients both accumulated expertise and current approaches – the best of both worlds.
