About TxMQ’s Disruptive Technology Group
Since 1979 TxMQ has been building, integrating, managing, supporting, and securing critical business systems and data.
In January of 2018 we paired our legacy expertise with our cloud forward thinking to create our Disruptive Technology Group.
Our Disruptive Technology Group was created to focus on building blockchain and distributed ledger applications across industries.
Distributed ledger technologies, including blockchain, have the potential to revolutionize how individuals and corporations transact electronically.
TxMQ’s Disruptive Technology Group was formed on the convergence of three key factors:
- CEO Chuck Fried’s ongoing passion for emerging technology and fostering its growth in the Western New York area.
- The identification of Craig Drabik, a local software architect and technical lead with over 20 years of experience to lead the division.
- The growing interest and rate of adoption for leveraging these technologies by TxMQ customers, both locally and across North America, to build custom solutions.
