Who we are

The IT Partner That Understands Uptime

We didn't start as a technology company trying to understand heavy industry—we started as an industrial business that solved its own technology problems. Our roots are in a family-owned operation, started in 1949, where we know firsthand what a down network or a failed file server truly costs. We know IT is not an afterthought; it is the central nervous system.

QuickPath IT was founded after years of successfully managing our own complex environment, from replacing server motherboards with a ticking downtime clock to cleaning warehouse computers with ESD-safe equipment to prevent premature failure. We know the difference between an office PC and a warehouse touchscreen. Our mission is simple: We build resilient IT infrastructure so your production never stops.

IT Solutions Built for the Shop Floor

The industrial environment is tough on hardware, and downtime is measured in lost revenue per minute. Our technology stack and support model are specifically designed for this reality:

Climate & Condition Resilience: We factor in heat, dust, and vibration. We offer services like our annual ESD-safe vacuum cleanouts to extend the life of equipment operating outside of a climate-controlled office.
Complex Environments: We specialize in keeping legacy, industrial-specific software and controllers running smoothly alongside modern cloud applications.
Security & Safety First: Our focus is on comprehensive defense, using tools for continuous threat hunting and advanced firewalls to protect the network perimeter from external threats.
Predictable Budgeting: We eliminate the surprise of major IT breakdowns with predictable flat-rate service plans.

Enterprise-Grade Tools, Optimized for Your Business

We only deploy the best-in-class, proven technology to ensure your protection and productivity. This is the foundation of our promise:

24/7 Threat Hunting: We deploy a single, powerful system that constantly monitors every endpoint, searching for threats and stopping them before they can cause damage.
Data Recovery: Every client is covered by our automatic, multilayered backup solution that provides both local recovery and protected cloud-to-cloud resilience. If your systems fail, we can get you back up fast.
Secure Communication: We ensure your email is professional, and we layer on powerful security filters to block the sophisticated phishing and spam attacks that cripple businesses.
Full Transparency: We manage your entire infrastructure using industry-leading remote monitoring and management tools, giving us full visibility into your system health 24/7.

The Local Partner You Can Trust

We are based right here in Dothan, AL, and our commitment is to the businesses that power our local economy. We live here and have families here, and we understand the importance of stability and predictability. When you partner with us, you are getting more than a vendor—you are getting a dedicated IT department that has skin in the game. We only succeed when your production line is running without a hitch.

Meet the Founder

Sam Emfinger, Founder & General Manager

Sam is born and raised in Dothan and grew up going to the scrapyard during the day and tinkering with computers at home.

Through the years he’s been the go-to person for tech problems in the office and upgrading or recovering downed workstations, servers, and networks, as well as negotiating deals with technology vendors for more effective or efficient services.

He has a B.S. in Management that included college-level computer science classes in networking and programming. Certifications include CompTIA Security+ and Network+ for building and maintaining a secure connected infrastructure.

He lives less than 10 minutes from work with his wife and 4 beautiful children, and enjoys playing boardgames, getting lost in the woods, and waiting for fall football to come back around.
