Computer Transition Services Inc. – IT Solutions Built To Protect You
Computer Transition Services Inc. is a seasoned IT company that utilizes our experience of technology and the IT industry to build customized solutions to make your county more efficient, effective, and secure. While IT support companies are about a dime a dozen, we feel it’s not the services that make us different, but rather how we deliver them. Our primary focus is on the customer experience and fulfilling our mission statement: to improve your life and business success.
Established in 1985, CTSI is a company that believes in teamwork, communication, and the power of great technology. For almost 20 years, CTSI has assisted Texas counties by setting up county networks, integrating county departments, and offering cybersecurity services and support.
In December of 2019, CTSI enhanced our dedication to cybersecurity and received certification from the Texas Department of Information Resources as an approved cybersecurity training vendor. Our training platform not only meets the requirements mandated by Texas H.B. 3834, but also educates county employees on cybersecurity best practices to better safeguard against cyber threats.
Cybersecurity education has become even more imperative as the world has shifted and new challenges have emerged. The unprecedented pandemic has generated uncertainty and new obstacles that we as a community have not faced before. This year, we have seen a dynamic shift in technology and the needs of the market. This global crisis highlighted a need for remote work solutions, and forced many organizations to address this need rapidly as the situation escalated.
As a community, we have all been impacted, and at CTSI our goal is to continue to support and protect you even during unsettling times. As this crisis begins to subside, we are looking towards the future and how this will change workforces and organizations, and how best to support these transformations.
With strategic IT planning, we can work together to support where you are now and where you want to go. What priorities need to shift in order to succeed in the “new normal?” How can we help your workforce adapt and work effectively? With a plan in place, we can minimize uncertainty and better prepare for what is ahead.
Whether during times of unprecedented instability, or calm seas, we want to empower you to make decisions that put your county in the best position to serve your constituents.

Local Government Solutions – Hosting Delivers Covid-19 Shelter-In-Place Simplicity
Waxahachie, Texas – What a difference a year makes!
During the last decade, the private sector has shifted much of its work online. From Microsoft Office 365 to Google Suite-Asana to Zoom and Slack, today’s private sector lives on the Internet.
The public sector having a reluctance to change until COVID-19 brought about a clear need for distancing and working remotely. Counties, cities, and states are engaging hosted computing due to its flexible work environment. Amid misfortune of COVID-19, more state, local, and municipal governments are seizing this opportunity to embrace hosted digital tools for the extended engagement this moment demands. Our public sector operations are prototyping digital tool suites to reach their constituents at an unprecedented pace. As America and the world eventually recovers, a new public, digital landscape will reinvent our public technology infrastructure, creating permanent improvements in how the public sector entities engage their local communities.
For 21 years, LGS has provided an integrated Records and Case Management solution, with the vision our public sector would someday embrace hosted, low bandwidth, and browser-independent solutions. During the Coronavirus pandemic, LGS clients experienced how this vision is paying off. Counties were able to work from home or other remote sites as the need arose.
We could have never imagined the length of time business disruption was to ensue. New clients have seen their installation dates delayed by executive orders, travel restrictions, social distancing, and simply the fear of socializing. With this new era of social safety has come the necessity for “Remote Training and Installation Services” designed to augment our highly rated Remote Support Services. Challenges our customers may face as we begin utilizing remote training include the likelihood it will not produce the same level of personal relationship building as traditional onsite training. Hopefully, there will come a time when onsite training will again be safe for both the public and LGS employees. Our remote training process is designed to promote a higher level of comprehensive learning by using remote video teaching, embedded fun short video segments, and testing encapsulated in the form of a Learning Management System.
Together we are facing new challenges, face masks, rubber gloves, and anti-viral cleaning surfaces. Let us not forget the lack of toilet paper and paper towels. Our lives have changed! We are resilient and strong. We are Americans. Standing firm in our love of God, Country, and the Freedom of the American way of life.
