VC3 Plans to Expand IT Offerings & Geographic Footprint in Over 19 States

Columbia, SC – March 21, 2016 – VC3, a provider of managed IT hosting and support services, announces plans to expand into 19 states. The firm, which primarily services the municipal government sector, has received a $15 million growth equity investment by WestView Capital Partners.  The recent investment allows VC3 to significantly expand its suite of IT offerings and increase its geographic presence to over 15 states throughout the Southeast and Midwest.  Currently VC3 has offices in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.

“We’re excited to move forward with broadening our market presence and increasing our service offerings,” said David Dunn, Chairman and CEO of VC3.  “Our 18 years of experience in the municipal government sector gives us a deep understanding of our clients’ technology needs and the line of business applications they use to service their citizens.  We offer 24-7 help desk and outsourced management services of our clients’ desktop, server, network, and phone systems either on the clients’ premises or as a part of our private cloud hosting service and strive to continuously increase and enhance these offerings.”

In addition to the geographic expansion, VC3 will focus on products and services that increase their clients’ productivity.  For example, the VC3 developed offering, Cognito Forms, will be leveraged to automate a municipality’s ability to receive information and accept payment from their citizens as well as manage the creation, routing and storage of the resulting documents.
