Tyonek first entered the computer services business in March 1995 with the purchase of Digitech Solutions, Inc. (Digitech). Digitech designed, installed and supported cash register systems for large retail companies and installed and supported automatic teller machines for some of the largest banks in Alaska. Additionally, Digitech provided PC and mainframe computer services and support for large statewide companies and government agencies including Alaska Option, Anchorage Daily News, Carr Gottstein Foods, FAA, Federal Express, National Bank of Alaska, and Prime Cable.
Through Digitech, Tyonek also supported local area and wide area networks by providing extensive network design, testing and documentation, as well as negotiating and delivering Retail and ATM software packages on a customer-wide or chain-wide basis. At one point the company maintained over half of the state of Alaska’s data communications traffic for its banking and retail customers. After approximately three years in the business, TNC sold its interest in Digitech to a subsidiary of Puget Sound Electric. After selling Digitech, Tyonek continued to market its products and services to the Federal Government. Examples of completed contracts include:
Various contracts negotiated by Tyonek have included Program-wide and Enterprise-wide software licenses.
