CreekPointe first met Grady Evans, CFO for the Disabilities and Special Needs Board of cherokee County, after being referred to then by the Greenville DSMB office in 2000. As the Cherokee office was growing, Grady needed someone to help maintain the network and help them prepare for obstacles and red flags they would face with their growth. "We needed a service that offered an immediate response and one that was economical and easy to budget for."

One issue that Cherokee County recently faced was the need for a dedicated server for the accounting department. the accounting department was having trouble with the accounting software interfering with other programs on the server, and wanted to separate the two completely. The additional server eliminated the interference between other software and the accounting software allowing them to work more efficiently with out interruptions.
