Greg Aker – President & Chief Technology Officer

Greg first put fingers to keyboard during an independent study project in 1977. Since those early experiences with large IBM computers, Greg went on to obtain a B.S. degree in Accounting from Virginia Tech. During his college studies he pursued course work in what would later become the Accounting Information Systems degree program.

Shortly after graduating and beginning work as a Director of Information Systems, he oversaw the gradual introduction of the personal computer (PC) into a business environment. As PC’s gained acceptance for business use, the first linked networks of PC’s soon followed, beginning what we now commonly refer to as a “network”.

Greg began network consulting in 1993, as Novell came into prominence as the premier network solution. Even as his company was implementing the latest Novell directory services technology, Greg saw the potential of the newly launched Microsoft server system, Windows NT. His company soon became one of the first Microsoft Certified Partners in the Carolinas.

Following the success of Windows NT, Microsoft released an innovative bundle of server based products for small organizations called Small Business Server. Greg again maneuvered his company to an early leadership position in the implementation of this product.

Carolinas Net Care continues to identify emerging technologies that can be successfully implemented in smaller organizations to increase the overall value provided to the organization from IT. Greg’s duties include serving as the company chief executive and as the chief technology officer, providing the strategic technical direction for the company’s future growth.
