What Technology Group Solutions (TGS) does

TGS is a privately held, woman- and minority-owned IT solutions provider founded in 2005 and headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas (Kansas City metro). The company delivers managed IT services and consultative technology solutions across a horizontally diversified customer base spanning SMBs, mid-market, enterprise, and SLED (state/local/education) customers throughout the Midwest. TGS operates from four regional offices (Lenexa, Wichita, St. Louis, Omaha) and reports a cumulative footprint of 900+ customers and 2,000+ projects since founding, with 80+ employees (60+ technology experts).

The company's core offering is Managed IT Services anchored by a Network Operations Center housed in the Midwest Technology Center at its Kansas City office, providing Tier-I through Tier-III support, virtual CIO services for SMBs, and full IT outsourcing. Around this managed services backbone, TGS operates a portfolio of specialized practices: Cloud (Office 365, public/private/hybrid), Data Center (hyperconverged, modern flash storage, secure AI workload hosting), Cybersecurity (including a proprietary SecureScope assessment methodology mapped to NIST/Zero Trust), Networking, Collaboration, Disaster Recovery, Mobility, Storage, Compute, Software/License Management, Low Voltage Cabling, and Technology Consulting/DevOps. Delivery is enabled by a deep vendor stack led by a long-standing Cisco Premier partnership and 100+ industry certifications, with complementary alliances across Dell Technologies, HPE, VMware, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Palo Alto Networks, Arctic Wolf, Veeam, and Rubrik.

TGS's go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, combining dedicated field account executives for mid-market/enterprise with a parallel SMB motion offering outsourced IT leadership. Revenue mechanics combine recurring managed services contracts (monthly billing, customized per scope) with project-based professional services and software/license advisory revenue. Recurring revenue concentration is high via the managed services mix; consulting, implementation, and license management provide episodic but margin-accretive attach. Customer evidence is broad across transportation (major transportation corporation firewall migration), engineering/construction (data center migration from Oklahoma to Illinois), sports/entertainment (Official IT Provider of the Kansas City Chiefs), telecommunications (major US wireless carrier retail rollout), real estate, manufacturing (Airlite Plastics), and research. Recognitions include Women Presidents' Organization 50 Fastest-Growing Women Owned/Led Companies Worldwide (2017, 2018), Enterprising Women Over $25M (2017, 2018), and EY Entrepreneur of the Year Central Midwest finalist (2013).
