Proven Performance. Lasting Relationships. CWPS was born in 1980, the brainchild of a retired government employee from the intelligence community. What began as three employees selling computers has evolved into 125+ employees offering the most advanced managed IT and cloud computing solutions in the industry. At our core, we are a family company. As one of the original three employees, Gerald Waldrop purchased CWPS in 1994 -- eventually passing the reins to his son, Jason, in 2003. This commitment to family is sewn into the fabric of our organization and carries over into our relationships with our clients.
