Tigerhawk Technologies was started in August 2005 with the sole purpose of providing top-notch I.T. services to local businesses.
Why the name Tigerhawk you ask? The name comes from our original senior partners. One, a graduate of the University of Missouri (Mizzou Tigers) and the other, a graduate of the University of Kansas (KU Jayhawks). Hawktiger didn’t roll off the tongue, so Tigerhawk it is.
Today Tigerhawk is solely owned by JR Bareis. We focus on developing a close trusting relationship with our clients. We use proven solutions and a high level of standardization, so they can use the latest technological innovations to help them elevate their businesses.
Our Core Values: Guiding Every Step We Take
At Tigerhawk Technologies, our core values define who we are and how we serve our clients. These principles are the foundation of every solution we deliver and every relationship we build:
- Integrity: We do what’s right, always. Trust is at the heart of every client relationship.
- Quality: Excellence is non-negotiable. We strive to exceed expectations in every service we provide.
- Wisdom: With experience and insight, we deliver solutions that solve today’s challenges and prepare you for tomorrow.
- Respect: We treat every client, partner, and team member with dignity, fostering collaboration and mutual success.
These values drive us to deliver not just exceptional technology solutions, but also a partnership you can count on. At Tigerhawk, we’re more than IT experts—we’re your trusted advisors, dedicated to your success.
St. Louis BBB Torch Award for Ethics Winners
