Regional planners and environmental groups have recognized each of these communities as the standard for smart growth in Metro Atlanta.

They have grown considerably over the past several years and SCA has been there to provide the IT infrastructure planning necessary to facilitate that growth, including a major relocation to the Buckhead area from Kennesaw.

The Lowe Gallery
The Lowe Gallery has gained an international reputation for its curatorial skills. Committed to a standard of excellence amplified by great visual drama, the gallery's ability to mount exhibitions which resonate powerfully with critics and viewers alike has become legend.

In 2002, The Lowe Gallery expanded to the West Coast with a spectacular second gallery located in Santa Monica, California. Modeled after the Atlanta gallery, the Santa Monica venue offers the same rich configuration of style and content long associated with our vision. Both galleries have become the scene of a diverse and potent array of special events that have helped forge a deeper, broader culture around The Lowe Gallery. These include special fundraisers for organizations ranging from The Elton John AIDS Foundation, Make A Wish Foundation, and Camp Sunshine to more personal events such as the "post-party" for Neil Young's recent film. The Santa Monica gallery provides a bi-coastal perspective to the gallery's long-term plans which include a third gallery in New York.

What we did: SCA has provided the technical expertise to bridge the IT gap between the Santa Monica gallery and the Atlanta gallery, creating a stable, always-on connection between the galleries and also providing remote deskside support for the people of both galleries.

"SCA is incredible! They come when they say they're going to come, and they do what they say they're going to do. I don't worry about anything!

They do everything in their power to save us money, not cost us money. When an issue arises, they provide several options from which to choose, and explain the pros and cons of each solution in ways we can understand.

Even their invoices are easy to understand because they break out every hour of their service, describe what they did, and show the cost.

SCA's charges are very reasonable, and everyone here is extremely pleased with their service!"

Mike keeps the big picture in mind by helping us consider the long-term value of his solutions. As a business owner himself, he thinks like we do, and for that reason, we consider Mike and SCA to be a partner in our company's success."
