History

Clay Hales, founder and original CEO of InfoSystems, sought business opportunities that enabled him to oversee the full scope of customer solutions. Hales’ original products at the former A&A Business Machines were word processors and typewriters, but as the industry changed, his vision only grew. He envisioned a tech company as dynamic and changing as the market. In March 1994, InfoSystems — rebranded from A & A Business Machines — was founded with eight employees. And Hales later becoming an IBM Business Partner expedited the company’s upward trajectory. The company grew, adapting to the tumult of the dot-com era. 

Hales and the InfoSystems team persevered. Through the ever-evolving challenges of the early 2000s, InfoSystems and its leadership team showed resilience and good faith. Their response to the quickly shifting landscape helped them establish foundational relationships with key vendors crucial to the company’s continued success. 

Hales, now Board Chair and President, says his “secret sauce” for success begins with the company’s culture. Hales puts employees first — when the culture is right, customers will benefit. By maintaining good business practices, enabling positive leadership and investing in the company’s employees, InfoSystems is best positioned to add more value to customers.
