Bringing custom software development within reach for smaller companies

My expertise is providing small-to-medium sized business with custom technical solutions usually available only to large companies with equally large budgets. I have a passion for leveraging technology as an enabler for smaller companies to achieve their business objectives. By freeing them from the constraints of packaged software, I and my team can unleash the potential for innovation that leads to growth.

To this end, I have partnered with Microsoft to provide next generation solutions. I am a designated Microsoft Small Business Specialist with multiple MS certifications. As an early adopter of Microsoft's latest products, I am able to craft unique solutions that interface successfully with legacy applications. As one of the first 5,000 people globally to achieve two of the most advanced certifications, my clients can rely on my ability to stay at the leading edge of technology innovation and help them compete with the fastest companies out there.

More than a technologist, I am attuned to the strategic objectives of small companies with unique business models operating within a niche market. I serve as a business partner with client executives. Because I am extremely flexible and knowledgeable in the latest technologies, I enable clients to level the playing field in markets dominated by larger businesses.

Clients describe me as intelligent, confident, experienced, creative, and resourceful. They find me able to listen, assess, and make creative recommendations that fully respond to their business and technology requirements.

My consulting business is unique in another aspect as well. My commitment to my clients' success frequently makes me a long-term stakeholder in their businesses. I typically operate as a resource and subject matter expert on an as-needed basis to help clients build their technology infrastructure, leverage market advantage, and optimize cost savings and revenue growth.

Core areas of expertise include:
- Business process modeling
- System architecture design
- Web application design and development
- Database administration
- IT support and administration

My broad and deep systems development experience includes: e-Commerce, end-to-end e-Business, Sales, ERP, Inventory management, Accounting, Manufacturing / Shop Floor Integration, Wireless applications, Warehouse control, Business collaboration, and ISO 9001 training.
