When scDataCom first started, we were “YES men.” As a hungry and eager young business we were willing to do anything and everything under the low voltage umbrella. We were motivated for work and willing to stretch our “figure it out muscles” — you name it, we did it. Those first couple of years our past performance portfolio was all over the place — from high end residential, to small business to secure government facilities, we did it all.
As we got a little bit older and wiser, we started to realize that not all business was good business. Though we were proud of our ability to overcome obstacles and learn new skills, we discovered that this also had costs — employee frustration, eroding margins, and more. We started to question our “yes, we can” methodology. Instead, we started asking ourselves “yes we can, but should we?” We discovered that growth depended more on the bottom line than it did the top line, and we set out on a mission to discover what good business looked like for scDataCom.
