Associate with the most driven technologists in the industry.
HOW WE WORK FOR YOU
01
PLAN
Like any project, it all begins with what your business and technology need actually IS. Through our methodology, we capture the project's scope along with its specific requirements and constraints. Once we have fully understood the desired outcome, we begin the process of developing and documenting a solution that fits the needs of the business. Once a design has been finalized, we then build a project plan that defines the solutions implementation.
02
ENGAGE
Although planning is an absolute necessity to any successful project, the same level of finesse is required during a solution's implementation. A successful implementation means that the right people are driving collaboration and communication through all phases of the implementation phase. Consistency and critical thinking is also a requirement, because when a plan can't account for the most complicated variables, the right person with the right skillset is at your disposal.
03
REFINE
Successful implementations are one thing; identifying what technology and processes will alleviate further business problems is another. We strive to suggest and propose solutions to business problems that some may not even identify. With a different perspective and experience, we always look to improve our customer's position. We understand that technology is an iterative process, and look to be your trusted associate on the journey to solve your most critical and complicated business needs.

MEET YOUR ASSOCIATES
OUR STORY
In 2014, our founder Gowan Joslin began to build a collaboration of the best technologists in Sacramento, CA. With the unique experience of seeing both the State and Public sectors, he saw the opportunity to join the best minds within his social circles while also connecting those minds to strong and longstanding relationships with his customers.
OUR VISION
What we envision is simple: Provide the best consultative services with trust, integrity, and vision. It is simple to bid on an offer; it is exceptional to take the time to learn whom you are working for, and why you are working for them. With the best minds in IT, we strive to build a collaborative future with our customers where we can be trusted advisors, focused on their interests and future.
OUR ABILITY
We don't suggest a technology that we wouldn't feel accomplishes our customer's goal best. We are strongly focused on VMWare, Microsoft, EMC, PURE, Veritas, and McAfee technologies; however, we understand that technology is an iterative process of trying to accomplish an objective in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. We understand a varierty of technologies and we are unbiased in our solutions. Technology is only as good as the planners and implementors ability to connect to its customer's needs.
