About OCS Solutions
OCS Solutions, Inc. started its life as Oliver’s Computer Services, which specialized in custom built computers and computer repair, in 1997. In late 1999, Oliver’s Computer Services started a subsidiary called Shoals Web Services, which developed web sites for the Shoals Area of Northwest Alabama. By the end of 2000, the two companies merged to create OCS Solutions, which was later incorporated in 2005 in Lauderdale County Alabama.
OCS Solutions, Inc. is a privately held Internet services company based in Florence, Alabama, part of the beautiful Shoals Area of the Tennessee Valley. For over two decades, we have provided expert development services, DevOps consulting, server administration, and web hosting to clients all across the globe. Our customers are our priority! We pride ourselves in providing excellent customer support.
Our philosophy is that we believe in putting the customer first in everything we do. This includes not only the services we provide but the products we create.Some of our customers have equated us to being a Web 2.0 safe harbor, where new and simple ideas are embraced without the “IT staff is all important” attitude that contributed to the dot-bomb of the new millennium. Our customers are first, and we don’t forget that. We use real-world proven technologies and use the best tools for the job.
