First Insight building ever created 1988 founders

"When I look back at the business, the numbers change, a lot of the tactics change, and the products and services change — and the solutions change. But for me, it’s really about the culture and the people."

Tim Crown

Our story began with a college business plan.

Many great entrepreneurial tales start with two innovators inspired by an initial idea. In 1988, Tim and Eric Crown began their story in this fashion. With a business plan that took root in a college assignment and a cash advance from a credit card, they established Hard Drives International — the company that would become Insight.

"Vendors were starting to work together … and they were going to co-support a solution. And that perfectly fit in with what we had hoped for. But we didn’t know there was a solution out there for it."

Rob Lloyd
Chief Information Officer, City of Avondale, Arizona
