Almost ten years ago, we knew we had to handle IT differently.” And so they looked outside for a solution. ![]() So if you’re helping with IT you’re also responsible for a bunch of other functions in the organization and IT doesn’t always get the highest priority.

But we ended up with seventy people and still one person managing the IT infrastructure for the entire operation. Ryan said, “we did our best to keep moving forward year after year. Like most family businesses Space Age started by keeping as much as possible in-house. Our confidence allows us to push ourselves and keep the work at a high standard.” Ryan said, “there’s an atmosphere in the company of laid-back confidence that comes from Space Age’s reputation in the industry.
