Please join us in welcoming Marty, our new Account Executive! 👋

Marty began his career with IBM after graduating from Creighton University, providing technology solutions to retail and commercial businesses throughout the Midwest. For the past 20 years, he has helped clients improve profitability by strengthening their systems, leaders, teams, and technology.

Marty is passionate about building long-term client relationships and helping businesses find solutions that support lasting growth. Outside of work, he enjoys volunteering, traveling to visit family, and hiking throughout the Three Rivers Park District.

A meaningful part of Marty’s story began when he volunteered as a Big Brother at age 27. He was matched with six-year-old Sean, and their lifelong friendship eventually came full circle when Sean later hired Marty at MCI University.

We’re excited to have Marty’s experience, relationship-driven approach, and commitment to helping clients succeed on our team. Welcome to LPA, Marty!

What really happens inside a data center?

The LPA team recently toured one of the facilities we partner with in Eagan, Minnesota, and what we saw challenged many of the common myths surrounding data centers.

Our latest blog explores how modern facilities manage energy, cooling, water use, noise, security, and backup power. We also explain why traditional hosting environments are different from AI data centers and how LPA carefully chooses where our clients’ information is hosted.

Your business data remains your data. LPA protects it, keeps it private, and never sells it.

When your POS goes down, every minute matters.

Long lines, delayed transactions, frustrated customers, and lost sales can quickly turn a hardware failure into a major disruption: especially when your business relies on a single register.

LPA’s Depot Warranty helps minimize downtime by keeping a replacement POS system prepared specifically for your business. Your system is configured for your Counterpoint environment, maintained with current updates, and ready to ship, typically within 24 hours of notification.

Don’t wait until a register fails to create a backup plan.

Contact your LPA Account Manager today to learn more about Depot Warranty pricing and availability.
