About Us
Oikos
Communications is the technology division of The Little
Guy LLC. The Little Guy was founded in 2006 to
make internet advertising and website development
affordable and available to small business, non-profits,
organizations and individuals.
Oikos
Communications was born out of our commitment to
unwavering customer service. We operate under the
belief that if there is a worthwhile project with a
worthwhile goal, we will find a way to make it
achievable. When one of our customers found a need
for additional technology services, The Little Guy began
development of a technology program to address this
need. Our services began with basic technical support for
our clients' computer technology needs. Upon
seeing the current advancements in interactive video
conferencing, and the potential of this blossoming media,
we expanded our offerings to include helping our
customers gain this capability. Interactive video
conferencing and supporting equipment is now the main
focus of our technology services division.
In 2007,
The Little Guy partnered with Tandberg, a world leader
in video conferencing technology to make sure that our
reputation for customer service remains intact when
dealing with customers with needs outside of our normal geographic area of operations. Through
Tandberg, Oikos Communications is able to provide the
same unmatched customer service world-wide that our
local customers have come to expect. Our customers
can have instant access to 24 hour a day competent
customer service from highly trained technicians from an
industry leader in video conferencing. Quality,
versatility and customer service is why we market
Tandberg equipment exclusively for our customers'
interactive video conferencing needs.
Our
personnel are currently researching additional
manufacturers and products for addition to our offerings
to support our customers. Soon we will be
providing high quality audio, display, peripheral and
accessories that are best suited to fit the unique needs
of our customers at a fair and manageable price.
Oikos ?
Oikos means family. It is the people that you
deal with everyday. Oikos is also the social group and
the people with whom you spend most of your time. It speaks of
familiarity and relationships, it means those who are "face-to-face"
with you.
When Scotty
Sweatt, President and current Director of Operations for
The Little Guy LLC began considering a name for the
technology division, he wanted a name that embodied the
end goal that we hoped to achieve. In doing so, he
recalled his days as a ministry student at Liberty
University, and a word that he learned while studying
the New Testament, Oikos.
Oikos is a
Greek word that was used in the original written
scriptures to express those between whom close personal
relationships existed. It was commonly referred to
in ministry in the concept of "oikos evangelism", which
put an emphasis on bringing those close to you to
Christ.
Scotty
realized that the end product of a well developed
interactive video conferencing program could accomplish
a much broader group of that "face-to-face" group and
make larger more diverse interactions the standard as
opposed to the exception. It allows people to drop in on
friends around the world, for a meeting, for an
emergency, for a learning
experience or for no reason at all.
This sense
of family and values and taking care of people also fits
perfectly for a company dedicated to filling the technology needs of
even the smallest organizations in ways that have never
been seen before.
Upon a bit
of research and consultation, the technology division of
The Little Guy LLC officially became
Oikos Communications, or OIKCOM for
short.
Thank you
for your interest and for joining us on this exciting
journey to the future of communications.
Welcome To
Tomorrow.
