About

The Alpha Baller Principle

Our name, and our ethos, derive from our founder’s time in college basketball. Every successful team depends on its best player to step up and lead in critical circumstances. In enterprise computing, new technology is always available, but successful business outcomes are determined by the caliber of the team implementing the solutions. That’s why Alpha Baller Technologies is built on finding and leveraging the talents of the right people—creating a team of “Alpha Ballers” that is ready to integrate new knowledge, play off of each other’s strengths, and tackle the challenges of every project.

We use a vendor-agnostic approach to achieve the flexibility to deliver exactly what our customers need. Our solutions have saved our customers hundreds of thousands of dollars by maximizing value across the technology life cycle and exceeding expectations across the board.
