CentricsIT was founded by Derek Odegard and partners in 2007. In 2006, the company Odegard worked for at the time was purchased, creating an opportunity for he and his partners create CentricsIT, an IT solutions provider.[1] The company was established and is currently based in Norcross, Georgia, and it grew into an award-winning, international IT firm within five years.[6][3] CentricsIT has four other offices outside of the United States. The Toronto office was founded in 2010, the Dubai office was founded in 2012, the Prague office was founded in 2013, and the London office was founded in 2014.
CentricsIT began as a solution provider that concentrated primarily on hardware.[6] Throughout the years, though, the company has evolved to focus more on providing IT lifecycle services, specifically IT asset disposition and third-party maintenance.[6] Today, the company is centered around developing a common-sense approach to IT lifecycle management and technical services and exhibiting an exceptional level of client support.”[1]
