We partner with companies to be a part of their journey while helping them achieve the results they’re striving for through technology.

Your Success Is Our Success

When you work with OWG, we don’t see you as a “client.” We see you as a partner. In fact, the word client is not even allowed to be used in our organization. As a result, we truly see you as a partner, and your success is our success. OWG will be with you every step of the way when it comes to your IT journey.

We work tirelessly to ensure you have access to the technology that will not only help you achieve your short-term goals, but your long-term ones as well.

Most Likely We’ve Worked With a Company Like Yours

We partner with companies across a number of industries to help them make the most of the cloud and other solutions. Some examples of who we work with include:

Accounting

There are quite a lot of options out there when it comes to accounting technology. Our experts help ensure you’re using the best private cloud desktop software to support your partners, while always keeping security and efficiency top of mind. We also offer extended support hours during tax seasons.

Legal

Law offices deal regularly with security- and time-sensitive tasks, and it’s essential to work with a partner that understands the industry’s unique needs. OWG has the expertise and experience in legal work that can help make IT hassles, concerns, and roadblocks a thing of the past.

Healthcare

Strong security, better communication, and a solid infrastructure are all must-haves in the healthcare industry. OWG works to ensure that those in healthcare have access to the tools they need to perform their jobs to the best of their ability, while always keeping compliance in mind.

And More…

Even if you don’t fit into one of these three industries, we have private cloud desktop solutions available for you. We assist advertising and creative agencies, PR firms, and more with creative cloud solutions and consulting services that allow you to gain a competitive edge.

Technology With a Heart – the 6 Bs of Purpose-Driven Progress

As a collective of technology generalists and principled businesspeople, we are driven by a vision that extends beyond the boundaries of our industry.

Our foundational 6Bs:

Be of service
Be accountable
Be tenacious
Be an innovator
Be empathetic
Be dependable-reflect a deep-seated commitment to leaving the world better than we found it.

We champion personal growth and societal contribution by encouraging our team to engage in charity work, supporting them with additional time off and funded trips to make a tangible difference. In line with our core values, we also contribute a deliberate portion of our earnings to carefully selected charities each year, ranging from national organizations to local initiatives in New Jersey, Los Angeles, or wherever we have a presence. Institutions like St. Jude, various artistic programs, and human-i-t are not just beneficiaries of our philanthropy; they are partners in our mission to enact real change—a claim many assert, but few truly fulfill.

Our Commitment to a Trusted Team

At OWG, we meticulously build a team that’s not only aligned with our values but also adheres to the highest ethical and regulatory standards. Our hiring process, rigorous by design, includes background checks, drug and financial screenings, and psychological assessments. This stringent approach ensures we understand the nuances of each candidate’s character and their potential to thrive. It’s a practice that demands time and resources, yet it’s crucial for fostering a trustworthy and competent team committed to ethical business practices and regulatory mandates. Through this, we invest not just in skill but in integrity, solidifying the core principles that define our company.
