About DBSI
William A. Bachenberg
CEO
William A. Bachenberg founded Data Based Systems International in 1981 and has led the company from a one-person technology consulting organization to a premier provider of Disaster Recovery, Workspace Recovery and Managed Hosting services.
During the 25+ year history of the firm, he successfully re-engineered the company several times to capitalize on major changes in the IT landscape; establishing himself as an industry leader who can preemptively anticipate client needs well ahead of his competitors. Under Bachenberg’s leadership, the company has enjoyed a reputation of always Exceeding Client Expectations.
The Company was initially established as a systems integrator and hardware reseller and for almost two decades represented Hewlett-Packard, EMC, Oracle, Cisco and other tier-one vendors on a national and international basis. Throughout the 1990’s the Company was very successful in these activities and achieved recognition as the 4th largest EMC reseller, the 16th largest Hewlett-Packard reseller, and the 357th largest system integrator out of over 40,000 companies across the United States. In the late 1990’s the hardware reseller market began transitioning from a consultative and highly technical sales-oriented market to a commodity based business model, resulting in margin erosion. Bachenberg’s recognition of this evolution was the catalyst for the strategic decision to expand its Disaster Recovery services.
Bachenberg is active in many organizations and company boards. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association of America and a trustee for The NRA Foundation. From 1995 2000 he was a member of the Board of Trustees and Treasurer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Hunterdon & Somerset Counties. He was a past President of the Hunterdon County Board of Agriculture for two years where he worked with many foreign agricultural delegations to discuss agricultural issues. He is a member of the Camp Fire Club of America and numerous other conservation organizations. Bachenberg is also the President and Co-owner of Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays, a sporting clays range near Allentown, PA.
