What Makes BFA Technologies Different

When businesses evaluate Apple® IT support providers, they often find themselves choosing between large generalist IT firms that treat Apple as an afterthought, or smaller shops without the depth of certifications their environment requires. BFA Technologies was built to be neither.

We are apple certified it consultants who work exclusively within the Apple® ecosystem. Our entire team is built around it. Our CEO has shaped it at the highest levels. And our clients benefit from a level of Apple® knowledge that generalist providers simply cannot replicate.

Since our founding, we have focused on one thing: helping businesses get the most out of Apple® technology. That means fewer tickets, less downtime, faster deployments, and IT infrastructure that works the way your team expects it to.

Apple Consultants Network Members for Over 22 Years

BFA Technologies has been a proud and active member of the Apple® Consultants Network (ACN) for more than 22 years. ACN membership is not automatic. It requires individual consultants to pass Apple® IT competency certifications, undergo background verification, and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to Apple® best practices.

Our ACN membership gives your business something most IT providers cannot offer: direct access to Apple® engineers, resources, and technical escalation pathways that are unavailable outside the network. When a complex issue arises, we have channels that general MSPs do not.

Our CEO Serves on the Apple® Advisory Council

Of all the credentials that define BFA Technologies as a team of apple certified it consultants, none is more significant than this: our CEO, Bob Garst, is currently serving his second term on the Apple® Advisory Council.

The Apple® Advisory Council consists of exactly ten members selected from across the entire Apple Consultants Network. These ten individuals are hand-picked by Apple® to provide direct input on the direction of the ACN program, represent the consulting community in conversations with Apple® leadership, and help shape the resources and support that Apple® provides to its consulting partners.

Bob is one of ten. In the world.

For BFA clients, this means your IT partner has a seat at the table with Apple® in a way that no other MSP can claim.
