Advance Business Systems helps organizations achieve their goals through technology and IT services.

Founded in 1964 by Alan and Lois Elkin, Advance Business Systems is today owned by their son, Jeff. “When you grow up in a family in which both parents are the principals of a young and growing business, you are immersed in it daily,” says Elkin, who joined the business in 1990.  “It was far and away the best and most meaningful business decision that I have ever made.” Advance serves thousands of Maryland businesses and organizations, providing complete business solutions, from office technology to IT Services, to help customers focus on moving their businesses forward and meeting their core objectives.

We Live and Breathe This Stuff” is not just a tag line for us,” says Elkin.  “It is an accurate description for the way we conduct our lives.  Doing right by our customers, our great community, and our families is what motivates us each and every day.”
