Today, Vista IT Group announced Vanguard, a customizable service program featuring an a la’ carte approach to hardware maintenance and operational support. This new nationwide offering allows companies to consolidate data center support regardless of the equipment manufacturer, age, or origin.

This holiday season, Vista adopted three foster kids with the hopes of making their Christmas memorable and filled with gifts. Our employees passionately embraced DA Blodgett’s foster families and were able to fill their holiday wish lists with presents they may not otherwise have had.  These families live at the D.A. Blodgett residential home - where children and adolescents are provided a safe and loving place to live. D.A. Blodgett’s residential treatment program offer kids caring foster parents and an environment that fosters healing and compassion.  D.A. Blodgett goes to great lengths to provide the kids with both emotional and physical support. Their goal is to create an atmosphere where the children can feel at home and experience a real, safe home-life environment.   

We deeply value each one of our relationships and try to show that in subtle ways throughout the year. The holiday season has always been a fun time for all of us to spread some extra cheer!

In the holiday spirit, we put our heads together and came up with something really unique this year!  We assembled photos of each of our employees and put them together in a family style layout to create our holiday card. We hope that you all enjoy this as much as we did putting it together!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Vista team held a fundraiser that allowed employees to purchase Vista themed breast cancer awareness t-shirts. It wasn’t easy getting all the guys to wear pink, but it’s for a great cause!  All proceeds were donated to Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a charity that provides programs and services to help individuals and families that have been affected by breast cancer. “Donating to this cause and honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month is very important to us because we all know people who are impacted” said Staci Bryant, the organizer behind Vista’s fundraiser.

This is a public service announcement for all potentially effected HPE customers, service providers and business partners.

HPE sent an Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) critical update notification in early September that we have been notified is causing degraded iLOs in certain customer environments.

Grand Rapids, MI - Vista IT Group has emerged as one of the largest locally-owned technology companies in West Michigan following a series of mergers and acquisitions in the area.
