We are a small information technology consulting corporation located in Chicago, Illinois. Our target market consists of other small and mid-sized businesses and organizations. We have helped our clients navigate the technology world for over a decade, and we specialize in leveraging open technologies to our client's benefit. We can help at all levels, whether aiding our clients in understanding whether and how particular technology can benefit their niche in the world; planning and implementing complete information technology solutions; providing out-sourced maintenance and support; developing and implementing an integrated e-commerce strategy; or developing custom software in close cooperation with our clients.
We seek to form a close relationship with our clients. We want to be considered a business partner, not merely a vendor. As such, we prefer long-term relationships over short-term. Our first client remains a client today. We have guided that business from its first standalone IBM PC using Microsoft DOS, through networking their offices, to introducing them to the power and cost-effectiveness of Linux along with other open source software as a back-office server for their Windows-based clients. The custom software we first developed for them in 1990 has been maintained and updated over the years, and is today a modern web-based lightweight application. Our goal with every client is to be able to claim them as still a satisfied client a decade later.
Our base rate is $100/hour, with a one hour minimum. We provide discounted rates in the context of a services agreement contract.
