Burk Consulting originated as a joint venture between Client First Services and Dent K. Burk, P.C. to support the technology needs of their clients. We continued to grow and as laws changed it became apparent that changes in structure were needed. In 2003, Burk Consulting stepped out of the shadow of its namesake and became a separate entity. Our office in Kingsport serves the Tri-cities and the region beyond, stretching as far as Memphis, TN, Dalton, GA, Hickory, NC, and Bluefield, WV. Today, Burk Consulting has engineers specializing in mail systems, firewalls / security, router/switches, circuits, pc support, AS/400 support, Network Architecture, Windows systems, and Unix/Linux.
The primary focus at Burk Consulting is to understand the business of our clients and the clients they serve. This is accomplished through a process of “discovery” where interviews are conducted with key personnel. This is a dynamic process with the end result being a technology plan that mirrors the clients’ business plan. In partnering with industry-leaders such as IBM, Cisco Systems, Adtran, AT&T, and Symantec, among others, we have assembled a suite of solutions that can individually and/or collectively address the entire spectrum of technology issues faced by organizations and government agencies alike.
