Veteran information technology engineer Chris Talley has rejoined EDTS, a regional IT services company specializing in managed IT services, network security, and advanced infrastructure for Southeastern businesses, as a network engineer on its rapidly growing team.

A native of Hendersonville, North Carolina, Mr. Talley has nearly a decade of combined professional experience in networking, support and systems engineering across multiple industries.  He returns to EDTS from an IT management role with a Charlotte-based technology solutions provider, which he joined after several years in with EDTS earlier in his career. 

Mr. Talley holds certifications including HIPAA Security Certification 2015, the CompTIA A+ certification, VMware VTSP5 accreditation, and multiple Microsoft professional certifications.  He is particularly experienced in server and workstation security, monitoring and optimization.

In his new role, he will help ensure that critical IT systems are available, optimized, and secure, while helping client organizations increase team productivity and reduce cost associated with information technology.  Mr. Talley will work primarily out of the Greenville and Columbia, South Carolina offices of EDTS.

“Chris is an experienced and talented IT professional with broad experience in multiple industries, and we welcome his return to the EDTS team,” said Charles Johnson, EDTS CEO.  “We value his talents and customer-service focus as we continue to seek the top talent available to join the EDTS family.”
