Early in our history, we focused on Sacramento’s largest consumer of microcomputer products, agencies of the State of California. In 1989 the company won the State of California’s Software Source contract. As the company grew, our understanding of government procurement practices and the public sector’s unique microcomputer needs grew as well. The company began to expand it relationships to local agencies and educational institutions throughout California.

In 1993, in order to provide its clients with statewide on-site technical support and local representation, Softwaire Centre became a franchised branch of MicroAge of Tempe, Arizona and changed its name to Softwaire Centre/MicroAge and, subsequently, MicroAge of Sacramento. This relationship allowed us to leverage the buying power, vendor authorizations, and global support capabilities of a $4 billion company while retaining financial independence and the flexibility of a locally controlled business.

In 2001, the company changed its name to Marketware Technologies leveraging the corporate registration of Marketware, Inc.

In maintaining a focus on serving state and local government agencies the company was an early participant in the California Multiple Award Schedule program developed in the early 1990s by the California Department of General Services (DGS). More recently, Marketware Technologies became a provider under California’s Master Rental Agreement (MRA) program allowing state and local government clients to lease computer equipment under very favorable terms of a full-support lease program. Between May 2000 and December 2001, Marketware Technologies invested in a response to the "California State Computer Store" ("CAL-Store") contract (RFP DGS 9014). A contract was awarded to Marketware Technologies as a result of this effort. The Cal-Store contract was recently replaced with contracts for the California Strategic Sourcing Initiative (CSSI). As of today, Marketware Technologies proudly supports a CSSI contract with the State of Califronia. In March of 2005 Marketware Technologies became a Premier level integrator of Cisco Systems technologies and shortly after in March of 2007 reached the level of Advanced Unified Communications Specialist for Cisco System’s IP Telephony product lineup.
