History of ADT

Advanced Digital Technologies has a history of more than 20 years of creating, designing, and deploying technology solutions to business processes.  Originally founded by Troy Sponaugle in Fairfax Virginia, Advanced Digital Technologies grew to support clients throughout the Northern Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland business and government centers.

Advanced Digital Technologies’ core strengths are based in customized accounting solutions and building computer networks.  The ability to support and create both front-end software solutions and the ability to design, build, and implement the back-end technology infrastructure proved to be a business model that offered ADT’s clients a true, turn-key information technology consulting firm.

While ADT’s philosophies in business never change, ADT continues to evolve and utilize the ever-changing advances in technology.   We look forward to what the future holds and ADT’s role in implementing technology solutions for your company.

Organizational Philosophies

Advanced Digital Technologies believes in giving to our clients the utmost in professional care.  We further believe that technology solutions should bring very real and measurable benefits to our clients.  We embody these philosophies in five core principles:

  • Treat every client with professionalism and courtesy.  We recognize that if we don’t take care of our clients, someone else will.

  • Bring to our clients the security and efficiency of proven technologies.  ADT understands that not all technologies are necessarily advantageous to all businesses at all times.  Understanding when and which technologies to implement created a fiduciary relationship between ADT and our clients.

  • Propose technological solutions that encompass more than one business process.  With the integration of various business systems such as accounting, warehouse management, database management, CRM, electronic transactions, etc., demands from companies’ IT providers became more intense and varied.  ADT is fully prepared and capable to deliver solutions that provide the full gamut of the needs of today’s small to medium-size enterprises, including corporate, private, and governmental.

  • Provide support after the development and implementation of accounting solutions.  ADT is fully committed to not only implement accounting systems and network designs, but also to provide expert technical support for the life cycle of those systems and designs.

  • Commit to keeping our employees trained and industry certified in our core business strengths.  ADT keeps, in-house, a technical staff with Sage ACCPAC certifications as well as Microsoft System Engineer certifications.  This partnership with today’s leaders in technology allows ADT to provide quality and consistent technical support to our clients.

Core Business Strengths

Advanced Digital Technologies is focused on our strengths as a company.  However, we understand that many of today’s business processes interrelate and overlap.  Consequently, ADT develops and maintains many in-house capabilities.  

Our first main focus is Accounting Information Systems through our long term relationship with Sage ACCPAC.  Under this focus, ADT developed the following capabilities: 

  • Electronic Business Transactions: both business-to-business transactions and business-to-consumer transactions

  • Warehouse Management

  • Customer Resource Management

  • SQL Database Implementation and Maintenance

  • Oracle Database Implementation and Maintenance

  • Inventory Control

Our second main focus is Microsoft-based networks, both Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs).  Under this focus, ADT developed the following additional capabilities:

  • Design, Deploy, and Support of Microsoft Windows  and CentOS/Linux Servers

  • Creation of Virtual Private Networks Between Geographically Separate Sites

  • In-house Design and Manufacture of Customized Servers

  • Maintenance and Support of Microsoft-based and Novell-based Networks: whether created by ADT, in-house, or another organization

 

Future of ADT and Technology

Today, technology changes and improves at a pace that requires rapid augmentation and deployment of knowledge.  Through our partnership with leading technology creators, ADT is prepared for the release and standardization of future business solutions. 

Our commitment to employee training gives us the skill base necessary to assure our clients that we can fully meet expectations during development and deployment.  Furthermore, our commitment to employee development allows ADT to offer our clients the assurance, that as new technologies become available, they can turn to ADT to recommend and implement these technologies.  While we have no crystal ball regarding the future, we are fully confident of our ability to embrace, pioneer, and deploy tomorrow’s technologies to medium and small enterprises.
