In 2000, co-founders Vince Mayfield and Louis Erickson started the journey of turning their shared dream of running a software engineering company that treated its employees as well as its clients into reality. From its humble beginnings with the two co-founders providing custom software solutions, Bit-Wizards is now an award-winning Managed IT Services (MITS) company powered by a team of real-life Wizards who support clients across the country. We've accomplished so much in the past 25 years, and we're excited to continue to boldly go where few businesses have gone before.
Our co-founders understand how the employee experience directly affects the quality of a company's services. By following core values and letting innovation and creativity flourish, each Wizard creates and shares magical moments with our clients, vendors, and community.
A company's ability to thrive directly depends on the support of its customers, and Bit-Wizards is no exception. We owe our accomplishments and milestones to every client we've served through custom software, managed IT, marketing projects, and other services.
Technology has advanced significantly since 2000, and our services have continuously evolved to meet each change with cutting-edge solutions. The next 25 years are sure to bring many more changes, and we're ready to face them head-on with our clients as we have from day one.
Originally from Northwest Florida, Vince and Louis strive to support the community that helped Bit-Wizards reach 25 years of business. Our Be the Magic Foundation enables our team to give back to local non-profit organizations and uplift the place our co-founders call home.
