When surveying Seattle’s tech landscape, the view can be both dizzying with opportunity and daunting with intimidation, as the list of industry titans is extensive and robust.

There are, of course, tech giants such as Microsoft, Amazon and Google. There are also countless ambitious and innovative startups with which to fend, such as Blue Origin, Moz, WhitePages and Zipwhip.

Surrounded by such strong competition, it can be easy for bootstrappers to fall by the wayside and get lost in the mix. Yet one former bootstrapper found a way to not only contend with the industry heavy-hitters but become its own market leader.

BitTitan, which specializes in cloud-migration services for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT professionals, is in its 12^th year of operation. What began in CEO Geeman Yip’s basement has now grown into a multimillion-dollar company of roughly 200 employees. Its SaaS solution, MigrationWiz, has helped MSPs and IT pros move mailbox, document and public folders to the cloud for over 13 million end-users in 187 countries around the globe. Its IT services automation and management platform, MSPComplete, allows IT pros to streamline their service-delivery needs through one-click automation.

Few players in the cloud market have managed to offer such effective solutions in both the areas of migration and automation — yet BitTitan has tackled both. Its work led to BitTitan being deemed the Pacific Northwest’s “Next Tech Titan” by GeekWire in 2017 and recognized by the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce as its “Eastside Business of the Year” in 2018. Since October 2018, BitTitan has teamed with Communiqué PR to tell its story, share its expertise and release its latest developments.

In the last six months, BitTitan has strategically shared its market insight by contributing content and thought leadership pieces to trade publications across the tech and IT industry. Working with Communiqué PR from October through December of 2018, BitTitan was either published or received coverage 28 times in 21 different publications. In the first three months of 2019, BitTitan has either contributed content or received coverage 29 times in 27 publications.

Some notable contributions include Mark Kirstein contributing seven articles on cloud-migration predictions and trends to six publications, as well as BitTitan director of IT Brian Wilson contributing his article “Security Measures to Consider When Migrating to the Cloud” to Ping! Zine magazine. You can find links to these and other articles below:
