About Us

Our Story

Sun Technology Systems is owned and operated by Paul and Karen Brown. I have spent the last 23 years in support of the Department of Defense Military Health System - deploying technology infrastructure around the world. My wife Karen retired from the United States Senate after 25 years of government service. Retiring from our Washington, DC careers, we moved to Venice, FL to start the next chapter in our retirement lives. We started Sun Technology Systems to combine our technology expertise with our business management consulting expertise.

My career as an Information Technology (IT) professional started in 1990 with building computer systems at my kitchen table. Progressively, I moved from computer hardware systems to website development, desktop application development, mainframe to desktop hybrid systems, and then eventually to supporting the Department of Defense (DoD) as an IT Systems Engineer. I received my BS degree from Rutgers University.

Karen worked in the US Senate in various positions. She started her career as a hearings clerk, moved into a management position in the Senate gift shop, and finished her career as an Executive Assistant to a US Senator. One year after retiring, Karen returned to the workforce as the Finance Director for a non-profit organization in Washington, D.C. Karen received her MBA degree from George Washington University.

At this stage in our lives, we are interested in sharing our expertise and experience, providing help where help is needed. Whether you are a homeowner, small business starting out or an established organization looking for additional on demand support, we can help. Please contact us if you are looking for business support services from two very experienced professionals.

About Us - IT Consulting

Do you offer support outside of normal business hours?

Yes. We understand that your IT is in use during normal business hours. We schedule service interruptions for evenings and weekends. We are available to consult with you or your staff when problems arise. We are available for remote or on-site assistance.

Do you install cabling?

We don't have the resources necessary to install cabling. We can make repairs to existing cabling or punch down cables on a patch panel, but we're not suited for larger cabling requirements.

Do you offer training?

Karen is awesome with Microsoft Office products and designing workflows.

How secure is our network?

We offer multi-layer security implementations. The firewall that is provided by your Internet Provider offers basic protection. Next Generation firewalls offer much more robust features that provide a detailed view of the traffic traversing your network. Desktop security software includes malware software and anti-virus software. For small businesses, it is worth the investment for console managed systems. Let us evaluate your security posture and provide a secure path forward.
