Adversity Drove Delta Computec to Diversity: Now the Company Is Thriving

Abstract

In an era when computer manufacturers are invading the turf once held by independent maintenance companies, Delta Computec continues to expand. The computer maintenance company reported record second quarter earnings. Revenues for the quarter were up 45 percent to $802,724. Net profit for the quarter was $39,623 or $.01 per share compared a loss of $30,261 or $.02 per share for the same period last year. Founded by Darryl Sanford in 1978, Delta Computec fell on hard times during the mid-1980s -- a victim of overexpansion, its current chief executive, Rodger Loomis, claims. (excerpt)
