Perpetual Technologies

What Perpetual Technologies does

Perpetual Technologies, Inc. (PTI) is an Indianapolis-headquartered, veteran-owned IT services firm founded on July 18, 1997 by Ryan Stephens and Ron Plew. The company specializes in database administration and IT infrastructure services for Oracle and SQL Server environments on UNIX, Linux, and Windows platforms, organized into four practice areas: Database Services (managed DBA, Remote DBA, supplemental DBA, performance tuning), System Services (managed services, hosting, infrastructure, disaster recovery, virtualization across Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, SharePoint, VMware, Hyper-V), IT Solutions (application development in .NET/Java/PHP/SQL/Oracle, staff augmentation, project management, IT recruiting), and Federal IT Services (specialized DoD-focused support including DIACAP/STIG compliance, data warehousing, web portals, and SAN storage on Hitachi and EMC).

The firm's primary customer base is the U.S. federal government, anchored by long-tenured engagements with the Department of Defense Finance & Accounting Service, the Army, Navy, Air Force, Defense Contract Audit Agency, National Guard Bureau, and Veterans Affairs, supported by contract vehicles including SeaPort-e (N00178-06-D-4840), GSA Schedule 70 (GS-35F-0204L), the Multimax NETCENTS team, and DFISS III subcontractor status. Commercial customers include Lincoln National Corporation and a 'world's largest finance and accounting organization'; PTI has also been named to the Ingram Micro SMB 500 fastest-growing channel partner list with 200%+ average three-year growth. Revenue mechanics combine recurring managed-services subscriptions (Remote DBA fixed-cost plans, claimed at 22% cost savings versus in-house staffing), project-based professional services (database implementation, migrations, application development), software reselling of Microsoft and Oracle licenses, IT recruiting fees, and training/event-venue rental at the on-site Infinity facility in Indianapolis.

Distribution is primarily direct: a 800-number, website-driven inside-sales funnel, dedicated Federal Division field sales, and channel partnerships with Microsoft and Oracle for co-marketing and reselling. Demand generation is event-driven — annual Back to School events, lunch-and-learns, SQL Server 2012 Firestarter and Oracle webinar series, and on-site SQL Server workshops — reinforced by 120+ technology certifications across staff, 10 levels of security clearance, multiple Microsoft MVPs and a Microsoft Certified Master on the bench, an active community-sponsorship footprint (IndyPASS, IndyNDA, SPIN, INOUG), and a library of quick-reference guides and published books. PTI has no parent company, no external investors of record beyond a single $4.14M 2010 funding event of unclear nature, and no subsidiaries or acquired entities.
