Our Story
PCS Technology
We do Pretty Cool Stuff.
Dan Hernandez founded Professional Computer Support in 1989.
His goal was to become the Bay Area’s preeminent IT support partner for medium-sized businesses.
While many computer support companies struggled during the dot-com boom of the 90’s, PCS thrived. Using leading-edge products to support our client’s business needs, we filled the need for outsourced technology support left by IT professionals leaving their organizations to join startups.
In the early 2000’s, PCS identified a need among local nonprofits to shift from technological dark ages to modern business systems. We partnered with organizations who were doing critical work in our communities to provide access to the same technical benefits and advantages as their enterprise counterparts.
Today, PCS Technology is Dan’s vision fulfilled.
We are acknowledged as a leader in the community and industry for our dedication to delivering the highest quality of expertise and customer service. We have built a highly skilled team of technical experts to keep IT Systems up-and-running at service levels usually seen only at Fortune 500 and Enterprise-level businesses.
We look forward to continuing to expand our established 30+ year history of success in the San Francisco Bay Area for years to come.
