Partnership

We consider ourselves your technology advocate.

An account manager who knows where your business is going, holds your vendors to their promises, and will tell you not to spend money when you do not need to.

Does your IT company know how you make money?

Why do you run a business? What do you sell, who buys it, and where does the margin come from? Why do you put up with the frustrations of running it? Your account manager gets to know all of that, because recommendations only make sense when they line up with what you actually care about. Sometimes the answer is protection, sometimes it is production, and the first question is always the same: how do we help you make more money with technology?

What your business does and how it gets paidWhat a bad day costs you, in hours and in dollarsWhere you want to be in three years, and what has to change firstWhich vendors you depend on and which ones frustrate youWhat you have already bought and should not buy twice

What partnership means here

Every client has an account manager. Not a salesperson with a quota, an advocate who knows your business, your budget and your plans for next year. They meet with you on a schedule, bring a roadmap, and turn "we should probably look at that" into a plan with a date on it.

They also hold your other vendors to account. When the ERP vendor says running the system on a desktop PC is fine, your account manager is the one who says, in writing, that it is not.

Honest and transparent, or told what you want to hear and dealt with later? We are thorough in every recommendation so the project runs on time, on budget and on target, and we keep the tally and show it to you at every review. We are on your side so technology does what it is supposed to do: increase your bottom line.

"We start with where the business is going and work backwards to the technology. Most IT companies do it the other way round."

Questions we get asked

Is account management extra?

No. Every client has a named account manager and scheduled reviews as part of the plan. It is the part of the service that keeps the rest from becoming firefighting.

The full answer
Will you tell us not to buy something?

Yes, and we have. A recently purchased backup server is a sunk cost worth a conversation before anyone throws it out.
