About
Tier 3 Technology Solutions (Tier 3 for short) began with Jeff Robinson in 2007. A few years out of college and working his first full-time IT job for a small business in Des Moines, Jeff started working on computers as a side hustle. Before long, he became the go-to guy for all the employees, family, friends, and their family and friends when computer issues arose.
The market crash of 2008 happened, and many of the people Jeff went to school with working at large corporations were the first to get laid off. He was bothered considerably. Knowing that through no fault of their own, the economy tanks, and they are out. It was then that Jeff decided he wanted to turn his side business into a full-time business. “I wanted to be in control of my destiny. If I succeed or fail, it can likely be traced back to decisions I made or didn’t make. If I take care of our clients and help them like nobody else can or will, we will succeed like no one else can or will.” Another local business has the motto “motivation determines success.” That does a pretty good job summing up entrepreneurship and is something Jeff has used as his own mission statement since.
Today, Tier 3 prides itself on not being just another IT company. Those are a dime a dozen. Instead, we take great care to form unbreakable relationships. We are blessed to say that most of our clients are lifers and are also our friends. Our team gets to know their teams and their families. We are partners helping each other reach new goals, celebrate new milestones, and are there for each other when we have setbacks.
