Our Mission
Our Vision
Why the Classical Maritime Theme?
A business is an organization or entity that performs commercial, industrial, or professional activities to provide goods or services, usually in exchange for money or other value. Therefore, a ship can be considered a business. Although it may be part of a business, it generally meets the majority of the definition. The concept of a ship is used as a metaphor for a company.
Five of the six New England states are on the Atlantic coast. The navy and maritime interests have historically played, and continue to play, a vital role in the region. 5 Star Data Systems can assist any company, anywhere. We are based in the heart of New England, in New Hampshire.
Properly managing cyber risks can be quite stressful. The founder always appreciated paintings, especially watercolors. Also, there’s nothing like the sea on a calm, sunny day in New England. Focusing on 19th and early 20th-century naval and maritime themes in the artwork is intended to evoke simple yet strong strength gained through experience and hardship. Our work isn't physically demanding like working on those sailing ships of the past, but it does require mental strength, knowledge, experience, and persistence.
The sea has always required care, strength, planning, and resilience. The care in our work, our planning, and the strength of our strategies must reflect the resilience our maritime ancestors had to develop.
Ultimately, the website is a key part of 5 Star Data System's marketing efforts. We chose a maritime theme to be unique and stand out from other companies offering similar products and services. The images are designed to be easy to view, while also conveying ideas that match the competence and persistence we strive to provide our clients.
