ARG is an award-winning consultancy and broker of technology services. Celebrating our 25th year as an industry-leader, ARG is proud to be recognized by The Washington Post and Virginia Business as a top workplace. ARG supports clients across a broad spectrum of critical business technology needs. On average, we save clients 20—40% of their current technology expenditures. Founded in 1991, we have over 600 years of experience on staff helping our customers with sourcing, installation support and billing for Cloud, WAN, Colocation, Voice, Internet, and Conferencing Solutions. Our independent position allows us to make a recommendation based on your needs, not on what one particular company has to offer. We are your advocate during contract negotiations, and after you've chosen a solution, we assign a project manager and engineer to ensure that your installation and turn up is a success. Once you're up and running, we do a bill review, to ensure you are billing correctly, opening tickets if there are any discrepancies. Finally we support you as long as you remain an ARG customer- we're available 24x7 to open trouble tickets and billing tickets on your behalf so that you can focus on your core business. We do this while decreasing costs and there is no charge for an 360' independent assessment of your current technology environment.
