About Us
Immense Networks was founded in 2005 by two childhood friends who shared a passion for technology and problem-solving. The success of their first “start-up,” a computer club in 7th grade, fueled their interest to learn more and do more in the technology field. They honed their IT skills by setting up game networks and investigated behind-the-scenes elements of big IT companies. After both earned their degrees from Louisiana State University, they combined their years of practical and academic knowledge to launch Immense Networks.
Now approaching their 20th year of helping businesses across Louisiana achieve success through technology management, Immense has developed a reputation for providing innovative solutions and trusted services for a wide range of clients.
