Competitive Advantage In Ridgeland

Think Webstore And Sister Store Advanced Microsystems
Help Local Businesses Compete

Ridgeland, Mississippi

This small business team is hard to beat. Small and large businesses alike are utilizing Think Webstore and Advanced Microsystems to boost their business and add stability to their technology solutions. And, the budgetary benefits can be significant.

In today’s ultra-competitive environment, where businesses are streamlining operations and costs, here are two local companies that are always busy. In fact, they have continued to grow despite the down economy. Both companies have developed a solid reputation in the tri-county area as the “go-to” places for websites and computer support. Bryan Carter, managing partner for Think Webstore, explains, “We make technology easy and marketing make sense. That is always our goal.”

Having a knowledgeable computer support team on call 24/7 without incurring the costs of full-time staffing has proven to be a very efficient use of resources for many Mississippi companies. Advanced Microsystems (AMS) has been in operation for over twelve years. According to owner Jitu Patel, “We are always available and make sure everything works the first time. Our clients like us for that reason.” AMS provides networking, installation, software support and computer repair services. Patel, a Mississippi State graduate, moved the operation to the current Ridgeland, Mississippi location in January 2008 to join business partner, Carter, and Think Webstore.

Sister company Think Webstore is unique for a marketing venture because it combines the disciplines of business, design, technology, usability, psychology and advertising. “We are able to provide a great deal of insight and the result is common-sense solutions that just work,” states Carter. Custom designed and developed website packages start at $1199. Carter, a native of Louisville, Kentucky, formed Think Webstore after working with and consulting with several large corporations including IBM, AT&T, NCR, Home Depot and Educational Testing Solutions. Think Webstore’s service offerings include website design and development, web hosting, graphic design, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Business Identity (logos, business cards, letterhead) and brochures.

“We’re excited about our businesses and we are proud to have a lot of loyal clients,” says Carter. Both Think Webstore and AMS work with a wide range of businesses including medical groups, industrial companies, law practices, construction companies, retailers, real estate companies, developers, churches, consulting companies, agricultural companies, media companies and many more. If you are looking for expertise and local accountability, these partner businesses are well suited. Either business can be contacted for free estimates.
