Meet Johnny Barns | Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

We had the good fortune of connecting with Johnny Barns and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Johnny, what is the most important factor behind your success?
They key to any success is hard work. There is no shortcuts or elevators in life that give us an easy path. Success is earned only by the relentless efforts that we put towards our dreams and goals. This is not to say that failure doesnt happen. You have to acknowledge that with anything you try, you will fail. It goes hand in hand. The more you fail is the more you learn ways to hold on to your success. If you gain success too soon before you learn the failures, then there will be a failure out there designed to take you down. The more failures you endure is the more ways you learn to hold on to your success. Success and failure go hand in hand.

Ive started this company from nothing. I had no startup funding. I had no investors. I had no hedge fund. I had no money lingering in the bank. All I had was my experience, my knowledge, and the ability to provide great Microsoft services to clients. The largest and wealthiest community of businesses are those that provide a service to other people. The service industry is the most lucrative and the most rewarding. It is also the industry with the most failures. As long as you are relentless in your efforts, take every closed door as an opportunity, and willing to keep pushing no matter what, then success will surely come.

What should our readers know about your business?
Starting any company or brand is not easy. It is a very tedious task. To be the best, you have to think and act like the best. This means that for us being a Microsoft Partner, we have to be the best of the best. We have to be the Microsoft Partner that stands out not only in client satisfaction, but knowledge, and expertise. In order for this to happen, Technology Solutions Worldwide had to be the brand that accepted nothing short of the best engineers, the best architects, and the most resilient partners that could be found.

The combination of expertise, quality, and just good work ethics allows our company to stand apart from the rest. Coming from humble beginnings of just a 5 person workshop, and starting from Georgia, we expanded our horizons. Some of us took the leap of relocating to other states to open up the other branches of our company. While we separated to expand the company, we still managed to keep in touch. The bond that we created in Georgia, allowed us to bring services to New York, Florida, Washington, California, Texas, Nevada, and now all 50 states.

We then thought to ourselves, why stop there? Why not push the limits of our company? By the time we serviced the entire North America, we decided to undertake Canada. With Canada under our umbrella, Central America was next, then came South America. The next logical region to add to our offerings was the Caribbean. Technology Solutions Worldwide has now expanded with offices in the entire Western Hemisphere. Soon we will expand to the Eastern Hemisphere.

Lessons we have learned as a company is to always provide the best quality service possible. We have to be constantly in a state of learning. Our clients provide valuable insight as each client is different, but each client is special in their own right. We take no preference in small business, medium business, or enterprises. We treat all our clients with the same professional quality service and standards. For this reason we are the ultimate Microsoft Service Provider (Microsoft MSP).

When it comes to licenses, Technology Solutions Worldwide stands apart from the rest. We offer all Microsoft licenses, both perpetual and subscription based licenses at 25-30% below cost. Purchasing your Microsoft licenses could never be more easier, then visiting our website and completing your purchase there. In minutes, you will have your discounted licenses placed within your Microsoft tenant. The process is seamless and effortless as it should be.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Visiting Atlanta, Georgia is the best in any state in my opinion. There is such a unique blend of activities and things to see. Atlanta gives the ability to be able to set your own pace and move in a manner that takes your experiences to new heights and new levels. Between the heights of Stone Mountain to take a climb or into the rushing waters of Lake Lanier, there is a lot to encompass in Atlanta. The streets of Buckhead is alive with shopping at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza to give you that New York or California feel.

If you are seeking to eat the best of the best in regards to food, then dining experiences are exceptional. Here you can find the best of French, American, Jamaican, and even Asian fusion restaurants to top any market for flavor. Some of the greatest chefs in the world have come to Atlanta to display their culinary skills. Flavor is no short supply at the restaurants for this state and city.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Technology Solutions Worldwide is a company that success is not built on the name, but on the merit of our employees. The dedication and hard work that our employees put in is unparalleled. Microsoft has been a center piece to our success. Microsoft has allowed our company to flourish as a partner and allowed us the ability to expand past North America. Now, we are able to service South America, Central America, North America, and the Caribbean.

Expansion in any region is by no means an easy task and takes the dedication and commitment of a whole team to make any aspect successful. Planning and development by sound individuals that are poised with the enhanced commitment level needed for growth and planted in strategic locations is what has allowed the expansion of our company. By offering the most comprehensive solutions that include Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Power BI, Office 365, and more, our Architects and Engineers have been able to give our clients the ultimate satisfaction.

The success of Technology Solutions Worldwide is in short, no success without the efforts of our expert employees that have embraced the Microsoft methodology of technological advancement layered with superb quality service.
