History

Since 1962, VTG has evolved to provide and protect the IT solutions you need to prosper.

A History Rooted in Ohio

In 1962, Virtual Technologies Group (VTG) began as Conventional and Research Data Systems, Inc., also known as CARDS Incorporated. We got our start in Elida, Ohio, and expanded to Toledo one year later. Our original services included bank processing, data entry, payroll management, and printing report cards for local schools, banks, and businesses such as Pierce Construction, Midas Muffler, and Willis Day. We continue to serve a wide variety of industries to this day.

In 1981, CARDS Inc. consolidated with several other companies, including Office World and Assured Issuance Incorporated; made a shift to the computer and office supply industries; and took the name Office World, Inc. Our ability to adapt to industry changes accounts for our continued success along with that of our clients.

In 2006, Office World partnered with Toledo-based Virtual PCs to become Virtual Technologies Group. Since then, VTG has continued to acquire and work with complementary companies, such as Accolade Solutions Group, and with competitors, such as JCI Group. The success of our merger with Accolade Solutions Group resulted in the spin-off of our nationally recognized Comm-Core, LLC division. This move expanded our telecommunications solutions to include hosted video surveillance and security, among other services.

Adaptability remains at the core of VTG’s business mindset.

Since 1962, our success has been rooted in Ohio’s growth. We are proud to be able to serve the entire northwest Ohio region while remaining deeply rooted in the Lima and Toledo communities. For more than 55 years, we’ve optimized our clients’ business performance by developing partnership-driven, long-term relationships to best understand and meet their workplace needs and goals.
