Our History

With a customer first mindset, we are proud to say our very first 3 clients remain over three decades later, continuing to share mutual success.

Powernet IT Solutions was founded in 1994 by Jacob Ohlson as a result of identifying an unmet and growing need within businesses for more than just the provision of software and hardware –businesses needed IT solutions. Over the years through continued investment in our own development and Microsoft technologies, we have been able to take our clients beyond the migration.

Partnering with clients and vendor partners who are focused on productivity and mutual success is key when combined with hiring the best talent to become part of the Powernet family. Testament to this focus to development and culture is our ISO9001 Quality Assurance and “Great Place to Work” accreditations.
