About Our Team
Founded in 1994 as Indra’s Net, Indra was one of the nation’s first Internet Service Providers. The company’s foundation was access to the Internet and technology, but Indra’s strong value came in the form of a local team of bright people who went the extra mile to help customers – whether with email guidance, modems or web sites. Today, the company maintains its vigorous devotion to customer service but with a greatly expanded set of service offerings that include Co-Location, Managed Hosting, Cloud Services AND App Management.
