New Activity Supports Growth in Small-to-Medium Business Market

PITTSFORD, N.Y., July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Infinite Group, Inc. (OTCBB: IMCI.OB) a leading IT service and support provider, today announced it has expanded its commercial division, which provides technology support to the Small-to-Medium Business (SMB) market.  According to market intelligence analyst, International Data Corporation (IDC), U.S. SMB market spending will likely exceed $138 billion in 2012, accounting for 25% of all IT spending. 

Established earlier this year, IGI recently added staff to its commercial division to support growth in the SMB market. Christopher Chisholm joined the company as Sales Manager responsible for capturing new SMB business in the Southeastern U.S. and Jim Sullivan joined the company as Senior Business Advisor, responsible for capturing new SMB business in Upstate New York.  The company also added additional marketing personnel to its corporate offices.  The expanded team has been ramping up outreach to the SMB market focusing on promoting IGI's managed services and cloud computing, both designed to provide significant savings for clients on IT operational costs while improving efficiency.

"We created a dedicated team of professionals to expand our reach into the growing SMB market," said James Villa, IGI's President.  "This was a logical move for IGI since the needs of the SMB match well to our established capabilities. The Commercial Division is integrated into IGI as an operating unit leveraging and sharing resources with our Large Enterprise and Government Division.  This integration enables us to offer advanced services at highly competitive pricing to SMB's nationwide," added Villa.

IGI has been supporting large enterprise customers in the Commercial and Government markets for over eight years, leveraging established partnerships with industry leading companies such as VMware, HP, Microsoft, IBM, Cisco, EMC, Dell, NetApp, and Veeam.  IGI's Commercial Division employs these capabilities and relationships to offer comprehensive hardware, software, and managed service support to the SMB market.
