Independently Owned Apple Retail Showroom TechOne Centre is now Open in Downtown Houston, Ready with Professional Services and Training to Guide Businesses Making the Switch to Apple.

HOUSTON, Feb. X, 2013 — The now open TechOne Centre, a one-stop resource for businesses currently using or switching to Apple products, is the first of its kind in the Houston area since 1999. The Apple Retail and Business Solutions Centre will provide a complete set of conceptual and technical resources, from planning and products to installation, training, support, maintenance, and app development. Capital investment in the new TechOne Centre totals nearly $800,000, which will enhance the economy and tech profile of Greater Houston.

TechOne Centre represents the culmination of a rebranding effort by the former MacAmerica. The purpose of the rebranding is to communicate the wider scope of products and services to be offered through the new Apple Retail and Business Solutions Centre. The company is unique and positions itself as the one and only resource in the area for all conceivable Apple solutions for businesses.

“Businesses want to benefit from switching to Apple,” said TechOne Centre President CV Rao. “TechOne Centre is an IT Services partner with the experience and depth to support clients long-term. The company brings together superior technical skills, responsive customer service, Apple certifications, and a wealth of industry experience to provide exactly the support that clients need. We have a track record of delivering great experiences to businesses switching to Apple.”

The leadership and staff at TechOne Centre boast the credentials and track record from MacAmerica, to back up their reputation. The support staff includes Apple Certified Engineers — an indisputable mark of expertise and dependability. The company is recognized as a Minority-owned Business by the Houston Minority Supplier Development Council.

TechOne Centre acquired an SBA-guaranteed loan through Wallis State Bank with guidance from the University of Houston’s Small Business Development Center and Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Initiative. The company currently employs 11 people, up from 5 just a few months ago and expects to add 3 more in the coming months.

In the near future, TechOne Centre intends to expand its offerings to include business-focused app development for iOS. The company will continue to monitor developments in the industry, guaranteeing that business are able to leverage technology and innovation to help their bottom lines.  Additionally, the Business Solutions Centre will play host to classes and workshops for users new to the world of Apple.

Top 10 reasons for choosing Apple and TechOne Centre:

10. It’s All Built-in — From the iSight camera to gigabit ethernet; iLife software to long-life batteries; Bluetooth to Wi-fi; Plug-n-Play for popular printers and cameras; plenty of memory and 
storage—It’s all built-in. It’s ready to do business.

9. Secure & Compatible Right Out of the Box — Security is built-in, not bolted on using anti-malware software. So is Active-Directory integration & SMB file-sharing. Apple products are good corporate IT citizens.

8. Increased Productivity Through Ease of Use—Apple products are often described as intuitive, simple and easy-to-use. They are also described as rock-solid and trouble-free. This is not by accident. These are hallmarks of Apple engineering, design and manufacturing.

7. Longer Usable Life & Better for the Environment—Windows based hardware lifecycle is typically 2 to 4 years; Apple products typically last 4 to 6 years. Apple products are built better to last longer. They are also green by being energy efficient, having long-life batteries and being recycling friendly.

6. Efficient Deployment and Updating—Imaging and deployment tools are built right in to Mac OS X Server. Third party tools such as JAMF Casper Suite and Filewave provide additional automation such as machine naming, Active Directory binding and software maintenance. Apple Remote Desktop helps support administration. Apple Configurator and 3rd party Mobile Device Management tools simplify and automate deploying and managing of iOS devices.

5. User Policy Management—Powerful, Yet Easy—Using Profile Manager and Unix commands provides powerful yet flexible management of systems and users. Implement and manage security and 
system-wide policies with ease.

4. Performance, Performance, Performance—Using the latest Intel and Apple processors and other engineering leaps, Apple products do all things at astonishing speeds and resource efficiency. Mac OS X and iOS have small memory and processor utilization requirements leaving you plenty of performance to do what you do best.

3. Windows Runs Better on a Mac—Run Windows better with Apple’s Boot Camp, Parallels’ Desktop or VMware’s Fusion. Windows installs easier, crashes less and has better performance on a Mac when compared to PC hardware. Driver issues and inefficiencies are eliminated by Apple quality.

2. Virus Management Eliminated—Anti-malware software is optional. Mac OS X does not permit malware to install or propagate without an administrator password and plenty of other warning mechanisms. Mac OS X patch management is simple and easy. iOS uses apple screened software only.

1. Licensing is Simple and Simply Economical—No license keys needed for anything Apple. Apps are purchased and licensed per user and not per machine. Mac OS X Server consists of one license key with unlimited licenses for all services. There is one flavor of client OS and one flavor of server OS—everything is included.
