Company Profile

Founded in 1993 as a means for our founder to survive college. 

Back then his day job was maintaining the software and hardware in the computer labs at the University of Minnesota Duluth.  At night he would trade PC setup and repair services for a real dinner and a few bucks that went right back to the University.  We have since expanded beyond academia to serve just about any industry.  Some examples of industries we currently serve include brokerage firms, law offices, manufacturing, Chambers of Commerce, Building associations and building management, photographers (digital photography advancements are amazing!),  distributor/ wholesale, retail,  not for profit, medical device, pharmaceutical, Recreation Vehicles, Golf courses, bookkeepers/accountants/CPA's, and floral/garden centers.

Majority of our business is grown from referrals and we welcome your reference inquiries.

We do NOT try to change your business or processes' to fit our products and services or our vendors products. We will evaluate your needs and wants and suggest the best software and hardware based on those needs and what is currently available from just about any vendor within your budget.

We are upfront about everything, even our rates.  $110/hour.  No trip charge, no hidden fee's. One hour minimum.  15 Minute increments past first hour.  Emergency service or after hours rate (3 hr response) is $235/hr.  Most tech support calls (within business hours) are free for current customers (customers with billable services within the last 5 months).
