Let Me Explain
As a small business operations consultant, I help navigate the ever changing and increasingly costly tech environment in which they must swim and compete. You have worked hard to build your business from the ground up, but current conditions and costs are driving you into a fight for survival. Whether or not you set out to be a tech or web based business, you are one. Your service providers are evolving, merging, driving up their prices, constantly changing their products, removing functionality while charging more. How do you make decisions for your business when the infrastructure on which you depend is in flux and out of your control? You need a designated staff member to keep up with all of your business, staffing and infrastructure needs, but you can’t afford one. You need obtainable process improvement strategies. I am deeply committed to helping you survive in this landscape.
My Approach
Subscriptions and other SAAS services, regardless of what they claim, operate on a one-size-fits-all model. As a small business or non-profit, you have been priced out of a customized solution that gets you just what you need, no more, no less. As a Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and implementing processes for marquis enterprise companies, non-profit organizations and government business, I am able to curate, analyze, broker, design, build, implement and administrate the right set of solutions at the right scale and budget. I know what’s available, I understand the pitfalls and roadblocks that can befall you at any stage of engagement with a new tool, and I know how to resist being squeezed by your service providers. I can set you up for success in a variety of ways, by updating or replacing your tools, untangling problems, designing and building out a new roadmap from scratch, or simply helping you with a particular function that would help your business run better – that thing that you say to yourself every day, “If only we could do this…”
We’re in this Together
Whether a tech professional or tech customer, we have all been cornered by the promise of an efficient future, but this future is unfolding with increasingly expensive products and services while at the same time, diminishing choices. Simply put, that future is writing a lot of us out of it. Don’t let your business become the mere content of someone else’s revolution. Engage today with An Actual Person to help you find a way through it all, and do what you were meant to be doing – sharing your talents and skills.
