Press Release

Emerald Data named to Forbes list of Georgia Business Leaders

ATLANTA, February 24, 2014 -- Local or Cloud-based. Microsoft or Apple. Office or Salesforce. "It doesn't matter what technology a company uses," says Darrell Rodgers, president of Emerald Data Networks, Inc. "I'm vendor agnostic. The important thing is that a company's technology achieves its business objectives."

The Atlanta-based IT firm works with businesses of a variety of types and sizes, on both an ongoing and project basis, setting up data networks, implementing communication solutions, installing security and audiovisual systems. Often that means working with and building on technology already in place. Other times it means starting from scratch. "I approach every customer as a unique situation," Rodgers says. For example, the company recently replaced an Atlanta bakery's 15-year-old phone system with an up-to-date VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) system. "Now they can call internally to their five stores in the metro area without paying for outside phone lines; they save money every month," Rodgers says.

"They can also transfer calls between sites, monitor phone availability at each site and make do with less staff without missing a call at any of their stores." The new system also allows the bakery to add new sites anywhere in the world it wishes. The owner of a manufacturing company is now able to oversee his workers and monitor all systems - whether off site with a client or while relaxing on the back porch of his lake house.

"He can even make phone calls that appear to be coming from the office," Rodgers says. Some clients want EDN to do everything technology-related for them, including managing subcontractors. Others, including Delta Air Lines and Black Box International, have special projects that require EDN's specific expertise.

"While most people think of technology as an expense, I know better," says Rodgers. Instead of trying to persuade customers they need to upgrade their software or buy a new server, EDN holds planning meetings with clients every year to determine how to achieve their business goals. "With the right technology," Rodgers explains, "employees can do their jobs faster and better, and a company is much more likely to be successful. That's why we're vendor agnostic. We are achievement people, not salespeople."
