METRO VALLEY, W. Va., Aug. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabe Ellis spent 15 years in
the film and video industry as a director of technical operations. But
something didn't feel quite right so he turned to his true passion --
computers -- and pursued his BBA in management information systems degree. He
then went on to IT jobs for two huge corporations before ultimately finding
his niche as the owner of a Computer Troubleshooter franchise in Metro Valley.
Serving a region that runs from Charleston to Logan, Ellis launched his
Computer Troubleshooters USA franchise in July. The company provides a full
range of computer services, including repair, networking and upgrading --
basically whatever needs done -- at the customer's location.
Ellis earned his MIS degree from the University of Iowa in 1991. He then
went to work for NCR Corp., which was ultimately bought out by AT&T. Like many
others working for large corporations, Ellis was offered a management buy-out
by AT&T, which led him to Oracle Corp., the world's leading supplier of
software for enterprise information management, where he was a sales
consultant.
Yet Ellis yearned for something more personal -- a job in which he could
work one-on-one with customers and help them with their computer needs.
"I had gotten to the point where I decided I wanted to do my own thing,"
Ellis said. "Plus I wanted to get back to a small-town life."
Computer Troubleshooters USA is the ideal answer for small businesses,
which often can't afford to hire a full-time IT staff person. There were some
22.9 million small businesses in existence in the United States in 2002,
according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. And more than 85 percent
of these companies conduct business over the Internet, making it crucial that
computer systems perform optimally and connectivity is intact.
"Sabe Ellis' vast IT experience and his dedication to the community will
be a true asset for small businesses and individuals in the Metro Valley
region," said Chip Reaves, national director for Computer Troubleshooters USA.
Computer Troubleshooters USA handles a range of computer services
including popular ones like helping users with Windows, hardware dilemmas, and
virus protection, especially important when viruses can hit unexpectedly at
any time.
With a quick phone call, Computer Troubleshooters will show up at your
business or home and quickly tend to your IT needs, allaying your nerves when
your computer is acting up and you're on deadline and potentially losing
business by the minute.
Australian husband and wife Wilson and Suzanne McOrist, who had previously
owned a 200-franchise business selling bookkeeping software, founded Computer
Troubleshooters in Coffs Harbour on the New South Wales north coast in 1997.
Computer Troubleshooters USA launched in 1999.
The company has more than 200 franchisees worldwide, including more than
100 in the United States. In January 2002 Entrepreneur magazine ranked
Computer Troubleshooters USA the #1 Tech Support franchise. Computer
Troubleshooters USA specializes in providing services to small businesses --
companies with no more than 50 computer systems.
