We Are Your IT Department – Without Busting Your Budget

When you work with us, you can expect to get services explicitly designed for your specific needs and problems. We offer solutions tailored to deliver the results you want for your business. You can expect to have “hands on” access to our technological expertise – in “non-Geek speak” language. You’ll have the equivalent of an “on-call” IT department – when you need it – without the high salary costs. Once you’re our client, you can call or email for quick questions, and be billed in six minute increments! No more cost concerns when you need a simple question answered.

What Kinds Of Results Can You Expect When We Work Together?

Each business is different, but we’ve noticed some common types of results that our clients get. Your results will vary, depending on your specific circumstances, but these are the results our clients can expect to get from working with us.

• Your office is organized and efficient. Your information systems are integrated. You are virtually paperless, and all relevant information is readily available (by iPhone, iPad or Mac) as needed – and where needed – even when you are traveling. You know that no matter what is going on or where you are, you can stay on top of all the details – with a lot less work than you were previously doing.
• Your office is completely functional and have successfully become paperless. You’re freed from the constraints of being unable to access case files, calendars, and notes. All case information is digitally organized and available to associated staff. You are now able to spend all your time bringing in new business and doing billable work, and no longer get waste valuable time searching for needed information. You’re happier and your staff is happier.
• Your staff easily coordinates their work, schedules, and project management using Daylite. Information is accessible as needed, when needed. You’re happy with the way your office works now, and your staff can do their best job for you. You are able to track the status of opportunities and projects at any given time from any device you are working from. You’re amazed at how much time has been freed up by the changes we put in place for you.
• You capture every bit of billable time (and enjoy the process). It is now easy to track that 10 minute phone call in the cab, or on your walk to lunch using Billings Pro on your iPhone. It only takes you a couple of seconds to record it. You don’t have to write it down on a piece of paper, or in an Excel sheet then laboriously put that into the billing system later. You have finally been able to ditch running Windows on your Mac and have made the full conversion from TimeSlips on Windows XP. You’ve noticed an obvious “bump” in revenue since you got your system fully functional. Your only regret is that you did not do this sooner. Your Billings Pro system on the Mac allows you and your staff to fully capture all billable work. This has increased your firm’s revenue by up to six figures.
• You rest easier now that you have an IT expert on call. You spend your time doing what you do best and leave the IT problems to us. Whatever your problems are, you’ve got an expert to help you solve that problem. You’ve gladly given up spending time doing technological tasks you aren’t trained to do. Now that you’ve got someone you know and consider a trusted part of your team, you’re just plain relieved – and making more money with your time.

Helping Our Clients Become As Successful As They Can Be – That’s Our Primary Business Driver

If you asked me what drives my business, my immediate response would be using technology to help my clients achieve their vision of success. I love helping people. Strip away all the IT consulting, training, etc., and the bottom line is that I love helping people get the most value out of the things (Mac and software) that they already have.

Our Core Philosophy: To Use Technology As A Tool For Your Business Success

We are not your average IT firm. We are business solutions consultants who happen to be providing solutions through IT. Here are the things that you can expect to experience as our business philosophy:

• Our primary objective is to apply technology to your business in those ways that ensure your success. We are all about the success of your business. Whatever we do together, you can count on us to recommend the best solutions for you – those that will have a positive impact on your bottom line.
• We’re Mac – all the way, all the time. We have deep and broad knowledge about how you can use your Mac investments as powerful tools in the success of your business.
• We think of our clients as “family” and cultivate long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. We don’t work with everyone, but we do work with the best. We’re entirely invested in your business success. We see our working relationship as being your long-term IT consultant – and friend.
• We aim to position your technology to be as efficient and effective as possible. We will set you up so that most of the guesswork, worry, and concerns are no longer an issue for you. You don’t have to worry about lost data, lack of integration, or having instant access to information where ever you are. We handle all that for you – and make your systems work seamlessly.
• We believe that training is the key to your getting maximum results. Besides the IT consulting, and system work, we make sure that you and your staff know how to get the results we promise you. Because we have an extensive training background, you get the benefit of our Mac knowledge applied to your daily business operations. You don’t have to find a separate training company – and we’re accessible in those six minute increments for “mini-consulting” as you need.

You Can Expect High Grade Consulting If You Choose To Work With Us

We’re not your average technology consulting firm – guys who come in and talk in “technobabble” and work away without your understanding what they are doing or why. We have an entirely different approach.

• You can expect to work with a personable consultant who understands what a business needs to succeed. We’re IT specialists who have a long history of successful business operations (I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was a kid and ran one of the top offices for a $200+ million company during my college years). We understand business, and your business success is our first priority.
• You get a lot less of the “computer stuff” and more about how to use the computer as your business tool. Our efforts are less on fixing and maintaining your systems (of course we do that to start), and more about showing you how to get the maximum out of them.
• You can expect that we will be highly focused on efficiency – ours and that of our clients. Because we know all the functionality of the recommended Mac applications, we understand how to make it do the things we know you want it to do. We will suggest possibilities you may or may not have known your system could provide. We demonstrate to you how to build in efficiency by using your systems’ existing functionality. We want your office to operate as efficiently as possible – and that’s the way we work as well. Time IS money.
• We understand the importance of “working around your business” and minimizing your downtime and disruption as much as possible. We aim to be as “invisible” in the operations of your business as possible. We make sure you do not lose time, money, or functionality WHILE we increase the efficiency of your business.

Our Business Is Unique Among Technology Consultants

You won’t find many technology consultants who have such an extensive business background and training background, as well as tech expertise. We understand business and you’ll find that we “get” your business quickly – and may even be steps ahead of you in ideas. Here’s some of what makes us unique:

• You will be able to understand what I am doing and how it will help your business. I can speak “techno geek”, but you won’t hear it from me. We’ll communicate in plain language. I won’t “talk down” to you, and you will be able to understand what I am doing and how it will benefit you.
• You get a “technology coach” to entrepreneurs – not just an IT consultant. I’ll work with you to maximize the efficiency of your technology investments in the ways that work best for your particular business operations.
• You work with a technology expert who knows how to communicate with users and owners. Our extensive training background has prepared us to work with any level of user – from beginner to advanced. You don’t have to worry about being confused by “Technology Talk” that can’t be understood. We make it as easy and simple as possible for you to fully execute your Mac functionality.
• Our job is to empower you and your staff to be the best – using Mac technology. We’re really not IT people. Rather, we’re doing business consulting through the use of Macs – bringing efficiency through technology; demystifying technology. We “translate” technology for the average end user so that they can grasp how to get organized, manage contacts, and track leads and projects. We want you to be able to run your business proactively rather than reactively. We use technology to provide competency to all in your business. Everyone has access to needed information.
