This recognition solidifies Eric Rawn’s reputation as a transformative leader, setting a new standard for the managed IT services industry in Central California and beyond.

In February, Xobee participated in the World Ag Expo, one of the largest agricultural expos in the world. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with ag tech innovators and showcase Xobee’s solutions designed to help businesses thrive. The energy and excitement of the event mirrored Eric’s passion for leveraging technology to solve real-world challenges.

Fast forward to June, and Xobee Networks expanded its footprint in Southern California with the acquisition of South Coast Computers, an IT services firm specializing in ERP solutions.

For Eric, this honor was a reflection of the entire Central California community — clients, team members, and partners alike. It’s this gratitude and sense of shared purpose that drives him to keep pushing the boundaries of what Xobee can achieve.

But Eric’s vision extends far beyond accolades.
