Our story · CO > I

## The CO is greater than the I.

Chip Heberden started Netlink in July 2000 with a simple job: keep the technology of small businesses around Indianapolis working. Back then, IT support mostly meant waiting for something to break and fixing it. That kept the lights on, but it never helped a business get anywhere.

So we changed how we worked. We moved from fixing problems to preventing them, then to planning budgets and roadmaps alongside the people running the business. Our best relationships stopped feeling like vendor and customer. They felt like partners. In 2018, Netlink became Covi, short for CO>I: collaborative over individual.

We back the name up with how we operate. Every system we manage belongs to our clients: the accounts, the credentials, the software. If we’re ever not the right fit, you keep the keys. We want you to stay because we’re useful, not because leaving is hard.
