IXI was founded by Patrick J. Chambers in 1995. The primary focus of IXI was "Harford Home", a community-based Bulletin Board System that connected citizens via email and discussion forums, before the commercialization of the World Wide Web.

Our main focus was education -- connecting the Harford County Public Schools with the community was our first major accomplishment. As a natural progression, we became an Internet Service Provider, participating in Net Weekend, 1996, in a statewide push to get public school systems connected to the Internet. As an ISP, we expanded into Cecil County, and, over 9 years, we built a solid customer base in northern Maryland.

Our mission then, as it is now, was not just to provide people with access to technology -- but to educate them on how to use it in the evolution of their organization and our community.

Since education is a vital part of our mission, it was a natural fit when we acquired BPS Enterprises in 1996, a Bel Air - based computer training company.

IXI grew exponentially for nine years, and in December, 2003, we transitioned our Internet access business to Quantum Internet Services (QIS), another regional ISP with similar business philosophies.

This move allowed us to focus our energies on the growing Website Development, Search Engine Optimization and Computer Training aspects of our business. Our role in website development expanded into post-launch services allowing us to take on an active, steady role with our clients after their sites went live -- ensuring that their investment was an effective one.

Our website development grew -- We became the 5th most active website design firm in the Baltimore area (Baltimore Business Journal Book of Lists - over 100 design companies polled), yet we were listed 24th in revenues - indicative of our penchant for designing high quality small business websites at reasonable rates. Our business also expaned into graphics and logo design, Internet application development, website performance analysis and optimization, and website administrator training.

In the summer of 2007, Vice President, Mike Parr moved on to form M. Parr Solutions, providing website design & marketing solutions as well as computer training.

Patrick J. Chambers, Jr. (PJ) came on as Vice President in July, 2007.

IXI continues to be the area's premier website services company --operating with honesty, integrity, and commitment to our clients and our community.
