HISTORY
Hello and welcome to MAVERICK, where we are dedicated to providing the business community with a high-quality and affordable alternative to the pre-existing/overpriced offerings currently in the market. By providing user-friendly, scalable, and seamlessly-compatible technologies our products match, and often exceed, our competitors’ products while remaining more affordable and a better value.
In collaboration with IBM, the industry’s most innovative and forward-looking company, Maverick has developed the Maverick SMART SERVER; an all-in-one server solution that gives small businesses the power and resources they need to successfully navigate today’s complicated IT terrain. With the power of IBM behind us, Maverick proudly introduces the small business owner to the Maverick SMART SERVER, the solutions to all your IT needs and issues. The Maverick SMART SERVER is a self-configuring, self-managing, self-healing server that turns the small business owner into a viable and productive member of today’s IT community.
Our president, founder and CEO, Patrick McNicholas, studied at Florida International University with dual majors in Business Administration and Industrial Engineering. Upon leaving college, Patrick started Maverick Computers which was listed as one of the fastest-growing computer companies in North America by CRN Magazine. In 2004, the company was again honored by CRN by being ranked as the #1 Solution Provider and the #1 System Builder in North America based on growth. More recently the company was awarded the “CRN Server Innovation Award” for developing a virtually indestructible server that is protected from accidental or malicious user contact.
In 2003, Patrick set forth on a mission to create a better telecommunications service for his customer base. Understanding that the seamless melding of video, voice, and data, would be the new frontier of the telecommunications industry, Mr. McNicholas set his eyes on surpassing everyone else’s goals of just three separate services. Maverick Communications offers the original “Triple-Play” but is also accompanied with a suite of eight additional services making it a truly complete service offering. The company uses an enhanced aspect of the light spectrum in fiber optics to produce an incredible array of premium services including the world’s fastest Internet access for consumers at 45mbps. The Maverick Communications business model won the company the title of “2005 North American System Builder Association - Business Innovation of the Year.”
Mr. McNicholas has now created Maverick. This new entity was established to develop solutions for businesses that are seeking an affordable alternative to Microsoft. The first software, Maverick Office 2008, is 100% bi-lateral compatible with the Microsoft counterpart and less than half the price. Now with the newly formed partnership with IBM, Maverick is preparing to launch Maverick Office 2010 which is available only through the Maverick SMART SERVER and available in 25 languages. Other software titles being launched in 2010 include Maverick VIEW for network management and Maverick UNITY for online collaboration. Patrick has been the technology architect for the company and has recently been named to the “Top 100 Most Influential Executives of 2009” by CRN magazine.
With the history, stability and pioneering efforts of IBM securing your future, Maverick welcomes you to our family and our family of small business solutions.
