Blade Technologies, Inc.

Blade Technologies is a leading IT professional service provider in the Midwest region. Its mission is to ensure your company’s technology remains reliable and secure. We focus on your technology so you can focus on your business. From small businesses to large companies, we provide the tools and solutions you need to be productive and efficient.

Our name was first used in 2004 by a collaborative group of professionals who had worked together in various entities for many years. Sharing a common goal of providing enterprise-class consulting to small businesses, Blade quickly became a local industry leader, offering comprehensive IT services to St. Louis and the surrounding areas.

In 1995, Scott Schaffer founded his first IT company, Networx. About ten years later, and after many collaborations with Justin Schowalter, Networx merged with Schowalter & Jabouri Computer Solutions (the IT consulting side of Schowalter & Jabouri PC) to become Blade Technologies, Inc. Dennis Schowalter became CEO of the newly merged company, bringing David Mellinger onboard as a Sales Specialist. 2004 marks the official beginning of Blade Technologies, initially serving customers in the St. Louis area.

Now, nearly 20 years after its official formation and with 10 dedicated remote helpdesk staff, 7 high-level onsite technicians, 2 CISSPs, 1 Certified Ethical Hacker, and 6 seasoned office staff, Blade Technologies continues to provide strategic technology sales, support, and consulting to businesses and organizations in the Midwest region. Focused initially on the St. Louis area, we have successfully expanded to provide expert IT solutions throughout the central US. Our award-winning services have grown to include everything from network support and IT project management to a full-blown cybersecurity suite and vCIO services, helping businesses get the most out of their IT infrastructure.
