We are excited to share some news! The Advantage Companies has been sold to former CFO Chris Donohue, and COO Jeffrey Kiley. Mr. Kiley and Mr. Donohue are the current owners of Advantage Archives, a former division of Advantage Companies. Advantage Companies will retain its current structure, so your contracts will remain unchanged and your projects will continue to be serviced by the same consultants, account managers, production associates, and management.

Advantage Companies will be rebranding as “Advantage Document Scanning & Storage Solutions” (you may see it written as AdvantageDS3 or ADS3) to better align our corporate identity with our services and goals. This change is purely cosmetic, and will not in any way affect your current accounts or projects.

As you can see, the website has changed, as well as the logos and color scheme. If you are looking for the client portal button, it is located in the top right (or at the bottom of the navigation menu if you are on a mobile device). The link to that page will remain the same, so if you have it bookmarked, you do not have to worry about that changing. If you have any additional questions, you can email us at info@AdvantageDS3.com.

We are enthusiastic and excited about this next chapter and what it means to our team and our clients. We are thankful for these relationships, and look forward to continuing to provide the same level of service and dedication you have come to expect from Advantage Companies & Advantage Archives.
