POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC , a premier national provider of
on-site computer service and solutions to small business and
residential markets. The computer service market is growing
globally, with both home and office user trends indicating no signs
of this growth slowing down.
According to www.plunkettresearch.com, "The InfoTech revolution
continues in the office as well as in the home. The U.S. workforce
totals more than 150 million people. Microsoft recently estimated
that there are 40 million 'knowledge workers' in the U.S. A large
majority of the workforce uses a computer of some type on the
job."
With the advent of new technologies for personal computers
ranging from social networking to online shopping, users are more
and more dependent on their PC to live their daily lives. If their
computer has a problem, service that is on-site, affordable and
results in minimal disruption is critical.
For business users, distributed workforces and remote access is
a growing trend that has resulted from urban growth, compounded by
environmental and commuting cost issues . According to a 2007
Gartner report, "The worldwide corporate teleworking population of
individuals that spend at least one day a month teleworking from
home is expected to show a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
4.3 percent between 2007 and 2011."
This shift in work locations creates new problems for a
homebound work force who may encounter technology problems and who
seldom have access to IT support staff traditionally found in the
corporate workplace. This trend presents new opportunities for
companies like Geeks On Call that provide on-site IT support in
multiple locations.
While there are several computer service companies expanding
their businesses in a franchise model, Geeks On Call Holdings, Inc.
(OTCBB: GOCH), provides a unique opportunity as a publicly traded
company to allow both franchise owners and investors participation
in their growth. Geeks on Call has over 250 independently owned and
operated franchises and continues to expand and open new
franchises. The company has been recognized for its growth by
Franchise Times and Entrepreneur magazines, which named Geeks On
Call the #1 new franchise company in America in 2006.
Geeks On Call addresses service issues including system security
and online privacy solutions, hardware and software repairs and
troubleshooting, wireless equipment and network installations,
spyware and virus prevention and removal, data backups and
transfers.
According to a recent article in CRM-daily.com, customer service
in the tech sector has some major gaps and concerns that would be
considered unacceptable within other industry sectors.

With the household penetration for PCs currently estimated at
over 75% in most metropolitan areas in the US, there is a
significant market opportunity for companies that can provide
on-site service and solutions.
