Founding Partner–President
Prior to co-creating the National Association of Solution Providers and Channel Partners (NASC) with Mr. Waller, Archie Biggs, Jr. spent more than 35 years in various businesses, including the IT and related technologies industries. Biggs’ primary IT expertise stems from having served as Owner and CEO of a successful computer retailer and on-site service provider. His diverse experience also includes serving as franchisor of a multi-state computer retail business, founder of one of the first video rental outlets in the Metro-Detroit area, and successfully operating several other businesses.
In 1988, Biggs was recognized as one of the largest Commodore dealers in the world. In the late 1980’s, his customer base grew to more than 125,000 including over 20,000 international accounts. At that time, Biggs also helped form a buying group consisting of the largest computer dealers of the pre-Internet era.
Today, Biggs recognizes an emerging opportunity for thousands of small-to-medium sized technology-based professionals. By joining a large community of related professionals through the NASC, each member gains access to resources they can use to establish their own strong and profitable personal business community. According to Biggs, businesses must integrate community-based tools and resources to maintain profitability.
