With offices in both Worcester and Sturbridge, Massachusetts, Centrend provides on-site Information Technology (IT) managed services and consulting to business customers throughout New England. Those customers include companies in the manufacturing, real estate, finance, insurance, legal, non-profit, construction and hospitality industries.

“We hear about any number of issues from our customers every single day,” said LaFlamme. “While you don’t want anybody to have problems with their computer, it does give us a great idea on what to cover in the podcast so users can avoid common problems.”

In addition to its medium- and small-business customers, Centrend has a home consumer division, Whiz Kid Support. Material for future podcasts will also include the issues impacting many remote workers and home-based businesses.
