About the Company
We help others become wildly successful by using our technology to solve their real business problems. In doing so, we believe it’s important to know your business and its challenges before we introduce you to our technology. Many times we can add value to your operation. Sometimes we can’t. Too often, technology vendors will blindly tell you all about their features and benefits without knowing if any apply to your particular problem areas. On the other hand, we don’t want to sell you something you don’t need. In those situations, it is a waste of time and money, everyone becomes frustrated, and you aren’t any closer to solving your underlying problems. It’s the same reason we don’t charge click fees or pass along costs. That way, we can offer you honest advice without concern about steering you toward certain applications that might be profitable for us, but not the best solution for you. By charging flat fees, we avoid the conflict of interest, your expenses are more predictable, and you enjoy a much higher return-on-investment (ROI) as time goes on.
