At Prince Technologies, our mission is to provide our clients with a team that over delivers customer service and craftsmanship. We accomplish this by applying our three core values to every aspect of our job:
Thoughtfulness
We strive to deal compassionately with our clients and employees and show that our work is more than simply another job.
Craftsmanship
Our specialization in Audio Video and Network Cabling provides a unique focus to produce exceptional work that exhibits unmatchable quality and appeal.
Improvement
We keep our standards high. There isn’t a peak to the quality of our work, and we strive to raise the bar on our work, enhance our employees’ lives, and improve our business every day.
When we start a job, we intend to make a genuine impact with our service so that our customers’ needs and expectations are not just met, but surpassed. By holding to these values, we accomplish that goal day by day.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
We work harder than our competitors so that we can do things right. Our extreme level of craftsmanship is something each member of our team takes pride in, resulting in less stress for you and less time invested in managing the project.
From bidding and project management down to confirming the colors of faceplates, we have systems and checklists in place to keep everything running smoothly. Everything is labeled and our drawings are marked up so that you’ll stay organized over the lifetime of your facility. We go above and beyond to help you reduce time and hourly service fees in IT support.
We do all this so that you can focus on what’s important — your business.
Some of the ways we exceed your expectations include
- Consulting with you to review drawings and ask questions in order to reduce revisions once the work has begun
- Meet with IT staff to see what hardware they will provide in order to incorporate that information into our design
- Ensure that everything has its place in the networking rack room and risers
- Deliver exceptional AV and worship technology solutions that not only operate according to standards, but are attractive, reliable, and intuitive.
- Label all wires in a clear and concise manner, making it faster and easier to change something out down the road
- Ensure each project objective is understood from beginning to end including any concerns or needs for future expansion
