About Us
A local IT leader since 1990.
The Seitel Systems difference comes down to one central principle that guides everything we do:
Treat our clients and employees like real human beings.
We believe that a successful business is a collection of like-minded people who have a shared expertise, passion, or mission that unifies their work.
Our Core Values
Our expertise is in solving technical problems, and our unifying purpose is to create solid IT infrastructure that allows businesses to flourish by freeing teams to focus on what they do best.
- We believe in taking care of our clients and our employees, and investing in long-term relationships.
- We believe in keeping things as simple as possible, using best practices and established industry standard solutions.
- We believe in the value of an objective expert opinion, and that our advice to clients should be unbiased by an interest in selling hardware or software.
This philosophy has served us well since our founding in 1990, and continues to drive us today.
