ORBIT President attributes the award to creating a service business, not a technology business.
EAGAN, MN, January 23, 2007—ORBIT Systems, Inc., provider of fully-managed computer environments for small and mid-size companies in the Twin Cities, is recognized by Twin Cities Business magazine as a top 2006 Small-Business Success Story Honoree. Company President, Stephen McFarland, attributes ORBIT's differentiation and ongoing success to three things: Great Service, ORBIT Employees, and Focus.
ORBIT is among nine companies cited by Twin Cities Business as "an example of entrepreneurial insight – the ability to detect opportunities not perceived by others - combined with diligence, marketing acumen, managerial skill, and an eagerness to achieve."
ORBIT was featured in the December 2006 issue of Twin Cities Business magazine and attended the awards dinner on January 11th at the Radisson Plaza Hotel, at which Mr. McFarland made an acceptance speech and accepted the award on behalf of ORBIT's co-founder, Phil Palmquist, and ORBIT employees.
McFarland explains what differentiates ORBIT from other technology companies, "We get that it isn't about the technology. It's about how we can make our clients more effective in their business." ORBIT's message is ‘Focus. Minimize your distractions, focus on your core business, lead your people, and transform your organization.'
ORBIT's mission statement ‘We will be the best Customer Service Organization in the world' says it all. ORBIT has created a service business, not a technology business. "In order to provide great customer service, ORBIT seeks out employees that wake up every morning with a desire to serve others." McFarland continues, "We have great people and we know it. To foster a culture of service, we are constantly looking for ways to improve as employers and how we can better service our people."
"ORBIT helps executives lead their organizations. By turning a large distraction, such as Information Technology, into an effective business tool, ORBIT will help clients re-gain focus on their business and will serve as a catalyst to transform it." McFarland continues, "We focus on Customer Service. We focus on our people. We focus on our core business. We know what we do well and that remains our focus."
