Our History
iCepts was founded in 1980 by Paul
Baddorf. The company was started as BSI Systems. Paul Baddorf's
vision was to combine the business acumen of accountants and
managers, with the technical know-how of the MIS people to create a
truly company-oriented computer services firm.
As with any start-up company, growing BSI Systems was a challenge.
As a former engineer, manufacturer and business owner, Baddorf
understood growing a technical business, but he was not a computer
technician. Since he believed he could be the link between technical
and business functions, he wanted a firm understanding of the
technology before his business could grow.
In 1988, Les Adams Jr. joined the company as Vice President of
Sales. Adams, himself an engineer, brought 27 years of computer
industry experience to BSI. Adams spent the first 23 years of his
career working with Fortune 500 companies IBM and MAI/Sorbus.
In 1995, Baddorf retired due to health reasons and Adams became
President. Adams made a critical decision to create a management
team that would bring needed expertise into an ownership position.
In 1997, BSI became I-SYS Technologies, Inc. and moved to a new
15,000 square foot office facility in Middletown. This move was
necessary, as I-Sys had outgrown its facility in Mechanicsburg.
On September 15, 2000 the name was changed to iCepts Technology
Group, Inc. due to a trademark issue resulting from geographic
expansion.
Throughout the changes in the IT industry and the economy, Adams and
the executive management team continue to lead iCepts. They do this
by providing its customers with the most efficient technology
solutions and by utilizing their "one stop shop" approach to
addressing all of a business's IT needs.
The executive management team is comprised of: Les Adams, CEO; Ron
Fullmer, President, Bruce Kehl, Vice President, Services; Shirley
Cruys, Vice President, Finance. These highly skilled and experienced
people have formed a very powerful team of employees to help their
client's businesses grow.
As of January 2006, iCepts is proud to announce that it is a 100%
Employee Stock Ownership Company. The Executive Management team
continues to lead the company that is now owned by the ESOP trust.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to
honor God and serve people by helping businesses utilize information
technology to achieve excellence.
We want to be the premier provider of Information Systems and
Services for the markets we choose to serve and the technologies we
choose to represent and use. We will strive to provide our customers
the finest Information Technology service and support available.
We recognize our ultimate accountability to God for our integrity
and trustworthiness. Our company exists to serve people and meet
their needs. People and families should be valued in every decision.
We want only "win-win" relationships with our employees, customers
and suppliers.
Core Values
Honesty. We expect everyone to be
truthful -- and to have a genuine commitment to the truth. Honest
people do not deliberately mislead by misrepresentation,
overstatements, partial truths, selective omissions or any other
deceptive means.
Integrity. iCepts defines integrity as "strength of character." It
means combining high standards of being and doing. People with
integrity demonstrate the courage of their convictions by doing what
is right even when there is great pressure to do otherwise.
Caring/Fairness. Justice in our company is tempered with compassion.
We seek to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. We
believe customers don't care how much you know, until they know how
much you care.
Openness. We encourage dialogue and reflective thought. We expect
all of our associates to share information, ideas and thinking that
lead to extraordinary communication, learning, discovery and
performance.
Quality Dedication. Total quality management and continuous
improvement are obsessions at iCepts. This is the means through
which we can reach our corporate objective of Customer Jubilation.
Promise Keeping. We say what we do, and do what we say. Promise
keeping is a critical measure of personal integrity, faith in self,
self-mastery, and an indispensable basis for success.
Personal Mastery. This is the value that allows us to be the best we
can be. It involves continuous training and continuous learning --
both as individuals and as an organization.
