About Athena Group
Athena Group was founded in 1990 as a computer programming house in the Appleton, WI area. That was a successful beginning. In 1994 Athenet was spun off as a separate entity to provide
Internet connectivity in the Appleton area. Over the last ten years Athenet has grown to serve 160 communities and over 20,000 business and residential customers in the eastern half of
Wisconsin, including Milwaukee and the Fox Cities, with broadband and dial-up connections to the Internet. Athena Group has continued to develop some amazing talent in-house, to the point
that we are now an Oracle Certified Solutions Partner in addition to having some of the highest level Cisco certified experts in this part of the State.
The two entities are coming back together as Athena Group. The visible part of the equation is the new offices in the City Center Plaza (formerly the Avenue Mall) in downtown Appleton (10
College Avenue, Suite 200). This move will create new jobs, and shows our commitment to the downtown as a business hub. The "new" Athena Group is a multi-talented group of individuals
that are staying on the cutting edge of technology as it relates to the Internet, web hosting and design in addition to data handling and storage.
