Founded on experience. Built on trust.

Stratagem Technical Services is an owner-operated technology company founded by Troy Van Marter. With more than 30 years of experience in technology and corporate leadership, Troy brings extensive knowledge and practical experience to every client engagement.

Before founding Stratagem, Troy held senior roles at global organizations including IBM and Reuters, where he developed and led business management and technical support teams. At Reuters America, as part of the IT Management team, he contributed to the restructuring of the North America IT services and support organization. In a separate initiative, he delivered over $250,000 in savings through contract renegotiations and process improvements. He also directed the Global Employee Efficiency Measurements Program (EEMP), providing the CIO with actionable insights on improving technical services across the worldwide organization.

Enterprise experience. Small business focus.

What makes Stratagem different is the combination of enterprise experience and personal service. The same strategic thinking that drove results at IBM and Reuters is applied to every client engagement — whether it’s setting up a home office network, supporting a small business, or helping an organization manage its IT infrastructure. You get experienced technology guidance without the layers and overhead of a large IT firm.

Every recommendation we make is guided by one principle — what is the right fit for your business, your budget, and your situation. Not the most expensive solution. Not the latest technology for its own sake. The right solution.

Small businesses operate with tight budgets and can’t afford to waste money on technology they don’t need. At the same time they need systems that are stable, efficient, and secure — because downtime, data loss, and security breaches cost far more than the right technology would have in the first place.

We take the time to understand your business before recommending anything. Whether it’s a PC, a server, a backup solution, a website, or hosting — our goal is always the same: the best possible outcome for your business at a cost that makes sense.

One point of contact. Every time.

When you work with Stratagem Technical Services you work directly with Troy — not a help desk, not a rotating cast of technicians. You get consistent, knowledgeable support from someone who understands your setup, your goals, and your business. That’s a level of personal service you simply won’t find at a larger IT firm.

Technology is a tool that should make your business easier and more efficient — you shouldn’t have to struggle with it, work around it, or spend all your time managing it.  To help ensure it is working best for you, Stratagem provides professional, cost-effective IT service and support tailored to home offices, small businesses, and growing organizations across Connecticut and throughout the United States.

Technology in service of others

Troy believes that the skills and expertise he has developed over a career in technology carry a responsibility — to use them in ways that make a difference beyond the bottom line. He has applied his professional IT skills to support faith-based and non-profit organizations that are serving those most in need, including:
