We’re celebrating our 10th year!

As I was meeting with a prospective client and telling them about our business last week, I suddenly realized that day was the 10th anniversary of Homeland Secure IT opening our doors for the first time! We have been so busy providing sales and service to our customers that we let the date slip up on us and didn’t get …

Homeland Secure IT means business!

Exciting news! In 2018, we stopped accepting walk-ins at our location on Mauldin Rd in Greenville SC, and began to focus our energy on what we do best, on-site, remote and managed business services.

Thank you for the nomination for Best of the Upstate!

Back a couple years ago, we were nominated for, and won “Best of the Upstate” for Best Computer Services. This was almost unbelievable because we are a smaller company, in a sea of larger and more established business computer support providers. Just goes to show, every vote does count! Last year, 2016, we were nominated, again, no small feat, but …

Purchase new business computers from us!

If you are planning to purchase new computers for your business, or even your home, there may be reasons to NOT buy the mainstream HP, Dell, or Lenovo, etc. While we are authorized resellers for many great and well-established brands, one brand continues to stick out among the offerings for their reliability, and just as importantly, for the simple fact …
