Who are we?
We're more than a manufacturer of desktop storage, we're an idea generator, a think tank. We know how important your data is, and we know how important it is to have it readily accessible. So, if there's a faster way to access your important data, a smaller way to store it, or a more portable way to take it with you, we'll be the first on its trail, and in almost every case, the first to have a product that makes it happen for you. Our best ideas store yours... is more than our slogan. We don't just give you storage products, we give you storage solutions.
Who uses our products?
Anybody who recognizes that performance and reliability in computer storage are important. Multimedia developers, educators, IT professionals, and even computer forensic analysts know they can count on WiebeTech products.
The forensic customer base of WiebeTech is a true Who's Who of the federal government. WiebeTech's forensic products are in use at the following agencies: FBI, Secret Service, ATF, IRS Criminal Investigation, and others. Products are also in use in a variety of foreign governments, including Canada and the UK.
WiebeTech's products are distributed by numerous distributors and dealers, including Synnex, PCMall, MacMall, PCMallGov, and SmallDog. Foreign distributors include AM Micro in the UK, and Focal Point in Japan. There are many other European distributors as well.
How did we begin?
In July 2000 James Wiebe saw the growing potential of high capacity storage in small packages. While everyone else was touting their 256MB USB keychains, James came up with the FireWire KeyChain, holding up to 1 gigabyte. It was introduced at 2002 Macworld Expo in San Francisco to much acclaim.
In addition, James also realized that there had to be a way to more easily retrieve data from stray hard drives without having to put them in an enclosure. Voila! The introduction of the extremely popular FireWire DriveDock product line. Following close behind were the bus-powered versions which allowed access to drives through FireWire without an AC adapter.
Shortly after, computer forensic analysts challenged James to write-block the DriveDock, allowing read-only access to suspect data, qualifying it as an important tool in the computer forensic arsenal used in criminal investigations.
In January 2008, WiebeTech was acquired by CRU-DataPort, who continues WiebeTech as a unique brand. CRU-DataPort's excellence in engineering, manufacturing and quality control, combined with distribution and market support will serve WiebeTech's customers and product line well into the future.
Our People
A call or email to WiebeTech will most likely place you in the sales department where you'll find friendly and knowledgable voices.
Michael Gaskins is one of WiebeTech's first employees, and his cheerful and knowledgeable manner in providing quality customer care has gained WiebeTech a reputation for absolute competence on issues related to storage. He's also the recorded voice you hear when you call WiebeTech. Seems only natural for someone who's won awards in area competitions for Toastmasters International.
Michael started working with the Mac 512 and PS2 as a sales manager for a typographic services company. "I liked working with the Mac so much I learned everything I could." He worked on the Mac as a graphic artist, became proficient in hardware and doubled as a system administrator. "I understand the needs of our customers because I have walked in their shoes."
Outside of WiebeTech, Michael and his wife Sheri take on a different demeanor, one that goes as far back as the Old West. They both perform Living History portrayals and Old West reenacting. Michael is the winner of the 2004 A.F.O.W.R. National Living History competition.
Bill Head is responsible for WiebeTech's customer support. Bill is one of the most well-rounded employees of WiebeTech. With degrees in sociology, music and a nearly completed masters in American History, Bill has been an elementary school teacher, a musician in Wichita's Symphony Orchestra, a private music lesson instructor and a graduate teaching assistant in the history program at Wichita State University. Bill's organizational ability and systems management are moving our tech support to a new level. Bill says, "I owe all my happiness and success to my wonderful wife, Theresa, who has always offered emotional support and encouragement. She makes me want to be the best person I can be."
