Custom Computer Specialists and PerScholas Form Partnership to Distribute Computers to Underserved Communities

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Custom Computer Specialists, Inc. (Custom), a Northeast information technology service provider specializing in support services, and PerScholas, an environmentally responsible non-profit organization committed to breaking the cycle of poverty, have announced that they are joining forces to provide clients a means to achieve socially responsible IT lifecycle management.

"PerScholas is doing amazing things for people and communities, and asks for no more than retiring IT assets to support their programs," said Chris Harris, Practice Lead at Custom. "By repurposing end-of-life PCs, they provide an intergenerational solution to the digital divide. They have connected over 80,000 underserved children, families and seniors to donated computers, and will environmentally dispose of what's left. In today's economy, we believe it's more important than ever to help organizations streamline their IT operations. Our partnership enables our clients to achieve more cost-effective and efficient IT, while helping people in need.  It's a win – win – win."

"Custom's philosophy is to always do what's right for its clients, even and especially when nobody's looking," said Damien Howard, a Vice President of Business Development at PerScholas. "At the core of our partnership is a necessary, high quality and efficient service that provides clients a new socially responsible model to completely manage their IT assets.  It seems natural for Custom and PerScholas to partner together," said Mr. Howard.
