CBT in the News! - well, sort of....
(Topeka, Kansas, July 22, 2020)- We love this picture, because what a lot of people don’t know is that it shows off the work of Century Business Technologies behind the scenes! Do you see the wall monitor, the 2 digital whiteboards and even the podium? Well, a couple of years ago we sat down with the Kansas High School Athletics Association who needed technology and infrastructure in their facility that could be used throughout the building in a variety of configurations. Here’s what Russ Kromminga, Director of Business Development, had to say, “ This project helped KSHSAA implement interactive whiteboard technologies and remote collaboration tools that have enabled them to provide the level of services they need to assist school districts across the State, even during the COVID events. By combining multiple resources including the ability to remotely operate and control the systems through an iPad, Century and KSHSAA worked together to create a platform that helps them be better suited to service their clients. We make it easy.” Read more about the KSHSAA story here...

Century Cares
Back in March of 2019, Century Business Technologies along with the Topeka Pilots hosted a Pizza Party for the families of the Topeka Rescue Mission. The evening began with a pizza party complete with LaRocca’s pizza and garlic knots and ended in the Party Zone at the Topeka Pilots’ arena. Century employees came out with their families to spend time with the wonderful people of the Rescue Mission. During that time, everyone enjoyed popcorn and ice cream while experiencing the thrill of watching hockey right up against the plexiglass. Xavier, one of the boys from TRM, even dropped the puck for the players!
Century not only wanted to provide a night of fun for the families, but also wanted to give something back. During the game, each child signed the front of a Pilot’s jersey while later the entire Pilot’s team signed the back of it. The jersey, along with other coveted Pilot’s gear, was auctioned off with all the proceeds going towards Topeka Rescue Mission Ministries.
Together, Century and the Pilots raised $445 for the Topeka Rescue Mission’s Children Palace.

Dynamic Duo: Century Business Technologies buys Dynamic Computer Solutions
9/27/2018 - Topeka Capital Journal | Topeka, KS - Century Business Technologies has acquired Dynamic Computer Solutions, which will expand its business to add managed informational technology services. The two companies have been long-time associates, with the owners serving on multiple community boards and also utilizing each other’s products and services, said Mitch Miller, founder of Dynamic. And both have been in business for more than 30 years, an unusual situation, Miller said, when it is usually a well-established business buying a newer company.
“I’ve used their equipment for 15 years,” Miller said of copy machines at his company. “We’ve partnered together, with us taking care of their systems here and across the state for the last almost three years.” Dawna McCabe, president and CEO of Century, said the two companies are a natural fit.
Century, in business since 1981, began as a copier sales company and morphed over the years to add multiple lines of business, including a wider range of equipment, software packages that work on the equipment and also for document management and even an LED lighting division. “We’ve evolved to more of a consultative approach, where we go in and we’re not dealing most of the time with the purchasing manager,” she said. “It’s more of the C-level type people and trying to get a seat at their executive table, where we’re talking about their technology road map, what are their business goals, and where do they see technology and how it fits into their business. It’s then putting together that plan, whether it’s software, equipment or something custom, or something on the network side of things in the cloud.”
Century Business Technologies Director of Services Brian Habig Earns National Recognition
At the 2018 annual PROs Elite Service Executive Meeting on August 21st in Clearwater, Florida, Century Business Technologies Director of Service Brian Habig received the prestigious PROs Elite 100 Service Executive of the Year award! As this was unexpected, Brian was both surprised and humbled for this unique recognition. Brian said, “This is a tribute to everyone in the company, especially the service department, for all of their hard work and determination in coming so far in our metrics in the last 4 to 5 years. It’s been a journey, and we aren’t finished yet! There are still even higher goals to reach!” Congratulations on a job well done.
Brian currently directs the management of Century Business Technologies Service Department, overseeing service operations of thousands of pieces of equipment with eleven field technicians at five locations across the state. The Pros Elite 100 is an exclusive dealer community. Dealerships cannot join the Pros Elite 100. Instead, they must be selected to be part of this Elite performing group of dealers, that spans throughout North America and select international markets, based on measurable benchmark financial / operational results. In addition, they must have an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction and “Best in Class” service. When a service executive achieves the “Pros Elite 100 Service Executive of the Year” award, it highlights a major accomplishment in their career because they have achieved a performance level that falls amongst the top 10% of all elite performing dealers selected to the Pros Elite 100 dealer community.
