AMRCON is pleased to announce the merger of AMRCON and MDP Systems.
AMRCON is dedicated to growing and expanding the ODS Managed Services® brand by seeking out opportunities to strengthen our professional team and improve our offerings.
That is why, as of January 1, 2012, AMRCON and Marc Pickard of MDP Systems have decided to merge our two companies to further benefit both our clients and continue to offer outstanding IT support services in 2012.
The merger marks an exciting new opportunity for MDP Systems’ clients as it allows them to access a broader range of resources to manage ODS while continuing to receive the highest level of support-effieciency that Marc has and will continue to provide.
AMRCON and MDP Systems have been partnering for the last three years, utilizing the same hosted platform of ODS systems. We consider it a great honor and privilege to be gaining a professional with as much experience and proven ability as Marc Pickard.
Now, as a client of MDP Systems, you’ll have both the proven technical strength and ability of Marc and the dedication of our entire Network Operations Center to back you up.
We appreciate your business and want you to know that we look forward to continuing to serve your IT needs in the future. During the next few weeks expect to receive communications from the AMRCON staff introducing themselves and welcoming you aboard.
Should you have any questions or concerns about the merger, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer relations manager, Robyn Henderson at 732-705-5057.
Here’s to another great year in 2012!

Have you ever wondered what you would do if your laptop was stolen? What if it contained sensitive information about your business or your personal life? Is it possible to track it down?
One of our clients found out the answers to those questions the hard way when a Howel teenager went on a burglary spree. In a three month period, the teen broke into cars throughout the township. Thankfully, he is now in jail, awaiting trial for a long list of crimes.
Click here to read the full article.
Our client, who will remain nameless, may have felt unlucky when his laptop was stolen from his car, but it was actually that move that landed the teen in the Monmouth County Jail in Freehold Township. Soon after pilfering the laptop, the foolish teen decided to use his newly acquired piece of technology.
What he didn’t know is that our client had his laptop on AMRCON’s ODS!
Our client called us, and we were able to track down the IP address in no time and lead Colts Neck police to the arrest.
So far, police have charged the teen with 19 counts of burglary, 14 counts of theft, two counts of credit card theft, three counts of possession and dealing in stolen property, possession of forged prescriptions, possession of burglary tools, possession of a controlled dangerous substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
That’s a long list! And it’s only expected to grow.
We’re glad we were able to lend police a hand in capturing this troubled teen and that we could help a client in need so quickly. That’s the true benefit of on-demand support—
We’re always here when you need us to lend a hand and get you back on track. Learn more about our ODS Managed Services.

Why do a few organizations achieve great heights and profits despite economic conditions…or the lack of corporate resources…or the tenure of their company?
It can be said in a word: LEADERSHIP.

- The mission creates an inspired VISION COMMUNITY within the organization.

AMRCON’s AMRCAR gains the attention of the State of New Jersey.
Last month, we unveiled the newest addition to our on-site technician fleet, the AMRCAR, a 2012 Fiat 500.
Now it seems the State of New Jersey has taken notice.
Here’s a lovely over the shoulder shot of the AMRCAR taken on the Garden State Parkway. While we appreciate the publicity, we have to admit that black-and-white does not do her justice. Check her out in full color.
It will be hard to claim that’s not our car. We’ll just have to be a little more careful in the future.
Sorry, State of New Jersey. We won’t let it happen again.

We tell all of our clients that we are committed to providing on-demand IT support no matter what. So when Hurricane Irene hit New Jersey in late August, we were given the opportunity to live up to our word.
Just a few days after the hurricane swept through Matawan, Eileen Fee of Marlboro Physical Therapy walked into our office needing help with her personal computer that had crashed that day.
Even though we were working off generators and scrambling to keep our business running, we could not let a client walk out of our office without a solution. We took care of Eileen’s relatively minor issue as well as all of our other clients’ issues because on-demand IT support is our promise, and we keep our promises.
Eileen was kind enough to write a referral regarding our on-demand IT support services that we would like to share with you today:
Dear Dee,
My personal computer crashed a few days after Hurricane Irene happened. I went into your office to see if it could be fixed, and here your office was affected by the Hurricane. All power was out in your office and your business was working off generators. I could see your workers were extremely busy handling many crises of other businesses to whom you provide IT support to.
First of all, I was very impressed that you back up what you say about AMRCON being counted on to provide on demand service to your customers. Secondly, my situation with my computer was very minor compared to what AMRCON was facing in the situation of the aftermath of no power for several days due to Hurricane Irene. And yet, AMRCON still provided excellent service.
I am pleased to say I was treated with top notch service. Everyone was very friendly and extremely helpful. I received immediate attention from Robyn your front office person and Danny your computer tech. Danny was in touch with me by phone and by email to resolve my situation to my satisfaction.
Not even a Hurricane can stop your excellence in providing IT support and customer service. I look forward to working with you in the future with your incredible ODS program. I would highly recommend AMRCON’S services to everyone I know.
Thank you,
Eileen Fee, P.T.
Thank you, Eileen, for your kind words, and thank you to all of our clients—big and small. Without you, our business could not exist.
We look forward to continuing to stand by our promises, providing on-demand IT support services to all of our clients even in the wake of disaster.
If you think your business could benefit from our on-demand technology services, contact AMRCON to learn more.

She’s lean, she’s mean, and she’s green–and she get’s about 36 miles per gallon.
This month, we’re pleased to introduce the newest addition to our on-site technician fleet, the AMRCAR, a 2012 Fiat 500 with a custom wrap designed by Craig Gunter of INCA Graphic Productions.
Here she is, in all her glory:
Why a Fiat 500?
One word: efficiency.
AMRCON is committed to keeping our overhead in check. By choosing a vehicle that’s both reliable and gas-efficient, we can leave our clients’ rates where they are by not charging extra for fuel or travel costs.
The AMRCAR gets about 36 miles per gallon, and she’s reliable—making her an inexpensive car to operate. Plus, her compact size makes finding a parking spot on busy city streets a little less impossible.
We will be working on building our fleet with these safe, reliable, and fuel efficient vehicles in the future.
