Merger power

Since 2002, Larry Andrus has nurtured and guided a talented, diverse
and experienced group of professionals at Trivalent Group Inc.

His planning has consistently been one
step ahead. In 2002, Trivalent LAN
Concepts and Remex Corp. were two
independent organizations that were
facing a changing
economy. Under
Andrus’ direction,
Trivalent Group was
formed to bring these
companies together.

In 2004, three more
companies were added to the fold.

Some of the innovations that make
Trivalent unique from the competition
are: providing a bundled solution that
combines product solutions, managed
services and data communications circuits; Trivalent Capital, which provides
financing for the bundled solutions,
enabling a one-price solution for customers; and Andrus’ involvement in a
national CEO organization, which allows
the company to take advantage of
knowledge from noncompeting companies.

Trivalent has effectively used both customers and vendors to provide objective
input. Some of the tools the company
has used are customer surveys, memberships in nonprofit groups and participating in vendor group associations.

Employee input is also important to
Andrus. He introduced programs such as
Lunch with Larry, a monthly open discussion with various team members on a
rotating basis, and monthly management
meetings with agendas and action items.

Andrus has successfully repositioned
Trivalent Group to strategically partner
with its clients to either take the complexity out of technology or take over
the technology completely.
