Inspired By History
Bemis Tech was started by Kevin Pudlo and Riley Thomas to give local companies a single team that can handle both internal office networks and complex web engineering. nstead of dealing with separate IT contractors and web agencies, Bemis Tech provides everything from server security to custom application development.
Behind the Name
In 1777, American forces fortified Bemis Heights above the Hudson River to block the British advance toward Albany. That strong defensive position helped set the stage for the decisive American victory at Saratoga and the surrender of Burgoyne’s army.
Bemis Heights is a reminder that preparation, sound engineering, and a well-chosen position can make a lasting difference. That is the spirit we bring to Bemis Tech: build thoughtfully, strengthen the foundations, and be ready for what comes next.
For our clients, that means treating the technology stack as a connected whole. Your network, business systems, website, and applications should reinforce one another. We combine IT expertise and web engineering to build dependable systems, reduce weak points, and support your business as it grows.
