Coming to South East Texas

February 1, 2019

We’re heading to the Lone Star State… Provalus is opening its 2nd technology center in Jasper, Texas to provide a superior alternative to overseas outsourcing of services. “We’re proud to say our mission is to provide tech careers to bright under-employed individuals, especially in rural areas, and play a part in revitalizing America through job creation,” Provalus President, Chuck Ruggiero said.

City of Jasper Mayor Hon. Gary Gatlin commented, “I am so pleased to have witnessed our community working hard together for this achievement and am so proud to have been a part of it. I can see our Jewel of the Forest shining bright again like I’ve always known it could.”

After researching over 50 Texas locations, Provalus narrowed the selection down to two in December and executed the contract with Jasper, TX on January 31, 2019. The main tech building will be the former Peddler’s Publication House on the downtown square at 101 E. Houston St., Jasper, Texas 75951. The building will be renovated to accommodate at least 100 employees by 2020.

Dan Walker, President Jasper Economic Development Board of Directors remarked, “I have been intimately involved with economic development in Jasper for over 25 years and I have never seen an accomplishment as meaningful as this one. Jasper’s new partner, Provalus, will not only bring many much-needed, high-quality jobs, but their arrival is already providing a rejuvenating spark to our community that is wonderful to see.”

The Provalus facility will offer business process outsourcing (BPO), information technology outsourcing (ITO), and Support Services to clients including Fortune 500 – 1000 companies. Executive Director, Jasper Economic Development Corporation, Eddie Hopkins said, “This new relationship has grown through more understanding of their mission and how there will be mutual benefits resulting in the growth of Provalus and Jasper.” “We are thrilled to help generate substantial economic growth for the South East region of Texas as we continue our mission to strengthen rural America”, Ruggiero added. Projections are to open in March and hire about 30 employees initially.

Provalus’ flagship operation, located in Brewton, Alabama, paved the way for this 2nd delivery center and currently employs close to 100 Americans doing everything from SOC Services to Quality Assurance to Application Development to Service Desk support. The Brewton Delivery Center is expected to grow to over 300 Americans in the next few years. “Our growth would not be possible without the support of Brewton, Alabama Mayor Yank Lovelace, the city officials and the citizens of Brewton”, Ruggiero commented.

74% Reduction in Backlog of Security Incidents After Manufacturing Giant Engages with Provalus

March 5, 2025

Challenge A Fortune 300 manufacturing organization faced an overwhelming surge of uninvestigated security alerts with 99% unresolved. Valuable time and resources were wasted investigating false positives, resulting in alert fatigue and diverting focus from proactive security measures and strategic initiatives. This flood of alerts desensitized the security team, impairing their ability to detect and respond to real threats, leaving the company vulnerable to cyberattacks and data breaches, and putting sensitive information and critical systems at risk. The manufacturer lacked a clear understanding of its security posture, making it challenging to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize mitigation efforts effectively. SOLution Facing increasing demands to safeguard intellectual property, ensure business continuity, and maintain partner trust, the client recognized an urgent need for change. They sought a security partner capable of providing advanced threat detection while mitigating alert fatigue, so they could focus on what truly mattered. Enter Provalus, an innovative technology solutions provider known for its unique model of building high-performing teams in rural delivery centers. Leveraging hybrid teams and a proprietary talent development initiative, The Meridian Program, Provalus quickly proved to be the ideal partner to overcome the client’s challenges.
