"In order to continue providing the level of service our customers demand and have come to expect from us, over the last decade or so, we have undertaken a campaign to add complementary companies to our family," commented Jim Ellison, Ellison Technologies CEO. "While these additions created a unique value-added situation for us, it also added confusion among our customers and potential customers as to who we are and what we do. To rectify this, we brought everything under one umbrella corporate name: Ellison Technologies. Now, no matter where a customer is located and which of our entities it does business with, it can be 100 percent assured it is partnering with Ellison Technologies in every way possible."
