Perpetual Technologies was founded on July 18, 1997 by Ron Plew and Ryan Stephens. Ron and Ryan worked as database programmers and administrators for many years and recognized industry deficiencies. The company was created to provide quality DBA-centric training and consulting services. The company has always been dedicated to this ideal and adopted the motto "Service Excellence for the Data-Driven Enterprise." Perpetual Technologies hired its first employee, Chris Zeis, in the spring of 1998. The founders recognized a special blend of excellence in Chris, and made him a partner. With this leadership team, Perpetual Technologies was poised to become a prominent competitor in the database marketplace. Since the beginning Perpetual Technologies has provided technically proficient staff; superior communicators devoted to customer service. This staff has provided excellent service for companies worldwide. Over the years the focus has broadened from database and system administration to enterprise-level support, but the level of service remains the same. Perpetual Technologies currently provides services to government and commercial entities worldwide. In the private sector, the company specializes in information systems management and support. In addition, Perpetual Technologies has strategically aligned itself with other top-notch firms to supplement the support options available clients. In 2004 the Indianapolis Business Journal recognized Perpetual Technologies as the 5th fastest growing technology company in the Indianapolis area. Ryan Stephens, the CEO and President, was a finalist for the 2005 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in technology. Perpetual Technologies is grateful to its clients and its employees who strive to make the company a success. Since 1997 the company philosophy has not changed. That philosophy demands that our company provide excellence in service to clients and dedication to employees.
