About
25+ years of helping businesses reduce technology risk, improve productivity, and make smarter IT decisions
Our story
Advantage Industries was founded in 1999 on a simple belief: that technology should help people do their jobs better, not become a source of stress.
More than 25 years later, that hasn't changed. Before recommending anything, we take the time to understand your people, processes, and goals — then build a practical IT strategy around what your organization actually needs.
Headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, we work with small and mid-sized businesses across the Baltimore and Washington, DC metro area, as well as organizations nationwide. Our experience spans commercial businesses, nonprofits, manufacturers, property management companies, and organizations with complex security and compliance requirements.
The technology looks different than it did in 1999. What hasn't changed is our focus on making technology work for the people and businesses who rely on it.
Our leadership
As President, Keith Heilveil has helped shape Advantage around a business-first approach to IT. He believes technology decisions should solve real operational problems, reduce unnecessary risk, and give leaders a clearer picture of where their business is headed.
This mindset continues to guide how the Advantage team works today. We are here not only to keep systems running, but also to help clients understand their options, plan their investments, and use technology more effectively as their organizations change.
