From CEO Terry Howerton

Welcome to FastRoot. We're an extraordinarily agile and entrepreneurial company that has spent years building our own infrastructure and platform, honing our expertise and assembling a staff that is fanatically committed to the success of our customer's business.

It's our creative and strategic-minded team, and our core platform -- infrastructure, managed services and the technology to automate the IT operations of an on-demand software business, which makes us unique.

Founded in 2001, FastRoot has emerged with an international reputation as both thought-leader and enabler of the on-demand enterprise. The enterprise is shifting responsibility back to the vendor to run and deliver software as a service... new markets abound, but the enterprise customers expect IT operations that match or exceed their own.

FastRoot systems put your best practices in place, supported by the automation and management systems you need, but with new standards created for the on-demand software vendor. FastRoot enables consolidated knowledge and control of all of the components of your service delivery environment and operations.

The shift toward on-demand software and utility computing is not just the next evolution for the industry. Innovative technology doesn't just evolve, it leaps forward with a significant new approach. Such quantum leaps have tended to cause massive disruption and usher in periods of significant economic growth and efficiency.

FastRoot recognizes the current shift toward on-demand software and computing is one of those quantum leaps, and our solutions help our customers lead early into this new paradigm.

With headquarters in Chicago, software labs in Europe, two enterprise-class hosting facilities in the Midwest, and consultants serving clients throughout the United States, FastRoot is committed to maintaining high-value, boutique-quality service for our clients.

My contribution is to bring out the very best from the FastRoot team: an expression of our creativity, exceptional understanding of our client's business goals and commitment to exceeding our client's highest expectations.

Thanks for your interests in FastRoot!
