The Challenge for Mid-Market Resellers
Comport has been selling enterprise computing out of Ramsey, New Jersey since 1982, which puts its founding nearer the mainframe than the cloud. Jack Margossian, who started it, is still chief executive. Hewlett Packard Enterprise names it a Platinum Business Partner, and CRN handed it a Triple Crown award in 2024, a recognition reserved for firms landing on the Solution Provider 500, the Tech Elite 250 and the Fast Growth 150 in the same year
Winning all three at once means growing and staying technically certified simultaneously, which is a harder trick at about 60 people than the award suggests. Comport's named verticals are hospitals and health systems, life sciences, financial services, manufacturing, media, retail, law firms and universities. Those buyers acquire infrastructure once and live with it for years, then discover an obligation that will not wait. ComportSecure, the cloud and managed arm grown inside the older business, carries HIPAA exposure on its hosted infrastructure. Remediation work in a hospital arrives on the auditor's calendar and needs engineers in weeks, and a firm this size cannot hold that capability idle between engagements without paying for it out of margin
CWS staffs those engagements under the Comport and ComportSecure names. One delivery standard applies whether the client sits in New Jersey, Minneapolis or anywhere in Canada, and the evidence a hospital compliance officer expects comes back in the same shape every time. Quebec and Canadian federal work is delivered in French. Corova handles scoping, quoting and project tracking, which means an assessment can be priced during the call that prompted it

Why This Matters for Comport
Four decades of infrastructure relationships is the asset here. The exposure is that every one of those hospitals eventually needs security work timed by somebody else's audit, and a firm of that size cannot staff for it on speculation. Renting the engineers keeps the account and skips the payroll risk
