Applied Tech, an HBS brand, was established in 1999 to provide progressive managed IT services to organizations in need of strategic IT support. Our mission is simple: to be the most proactive managed IT and security services provider in the Midwest and beyond. We've built a culture based on respect, relationships and service excellence. Our team is proud to help clients navigate their fast-paced
and dynamic environments. We’re here to support your mission-critical technologies—while you focus on your core business. As part of HBS, Applied Tech serves clients in locations across the Midwest and Colorado, working alongside you as a responsive team delivering comprehensive technology, cybersecurity and IT services solutions. We take a consultative approach—listening, learning and customizing solutions to fit your organization's needs, future plans and budget. Our team and our services are constantly evolving to provide our clients with the technology and tools they need to achieve the business outcomes they aim to achieve. In April 2026, Applied Tech became part of Heartland Business Systems (HBS), a premier provider of technology, cybersecurity and IT services solutions. The addition of Applied Tech to HBS strengthens the combined organization's ability to serve clients across industries with high-quality, personalized managed IT services, while providing access to the HBS team's depth of expertise, broader capabilities, and long-term investment in innovation.
