We believe that the most important part of technology is the human part. Technology is not an end in itself -- making the technology work effectively for your employees and with your business processes is our primary goal.

Our consultants bring 20+ years of real-world experience in a broad range of businesses and technologies. We're down and dirty in the trenches problem solvers -- not theoretical fresh-out-of-college theorizers. We love to see technology make people's work easier, faster and more productive. And we like to see people happy, too.
