Lauren Groff

Lauren Groff is dedicated to helping businesses get the technology they need to achieve their business goals. After working as a Computer and Network Administrator for over five years and being downsized twice, he decided to give it a go on his own. He was a one-man band, fixing computers in his living room when he started Groff NetWorks in 2005. Today, Groff NetWorks is one of the leading providers of Managed Services and Computer Support in New York’s Capital Region, serving businesses throughout Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Latham, Saratoga Springs and Clifton Park.

Lauren’s company is centered on his philosophy of personalized service. Groff NetWorks prides itself on delivering honest, reliable, high-quality service and values their partnerships with clients. When you call Groff NetWorks for help, you get a personable and professional IT expert to answer all of your questions, not an automated 1-800 number. Lauren fully considers each client’s bottom line, budget, and expectations while strengthening their infrastructure to boost their productivity and profitability. Groff’s technology solutions are always customized to meet their clients’ needs. This philosophy has helped Lauren to emerge into new markets and build business relationships at an exponential rate.
