Perry ProTech

What Perry ProTech does

Perry ProTech is a privately held, 100% employee-owned (ESOP) business technology provider headquartered in Lima, Ohio, operating through seven branches across Ohio, Indiana, and southern Michigan. Founded in 1965 by Rex Perry originally as a document solutions provider, the company has expanded into a multi-line managed services business serving small-to-medium businesses and mid-market enterprises across verticals including education, healthcare, manufacturing, legal, financial services, and government.

The company's core technology stack is anchored by ReadiShip, a proprietary supply and device monitoring platform powered by MPS Monitor, which provides algorithmic supply-level calculation, automated device error detection, and meter/counter reporting for imaging fleets. ReadiShip carries ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, and CSA Star Level 2 certifications. The broader portfolio spans managed print services (including production print and wide-format), managed IT and network services (24/7 monitoring, Microsoft 365 administration, VoIP), network security (firewall, EDR, email filtering, phishing simulation, BCDR), and document management and workflow automation with OCR, electronic filing, and integrations to Microsoft 365, SharePoint, ERP, and accounting platforms.

Revenue is generated through managed-services contracts (monthly fees and per-page usage for print; hybrid managed or time-and-materials for IT), professional services for document management implementations, and equipment sales and leasing across OEM partnerships with Ricoh, HP, Konica Minolta, Lexmark, Epson, and Kyocera. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, with free technology assessments as the primary demand-generation mechanism, supported by a regional direct-sales presence and content marketing via the company's website and blog ("The Hub").
