Remember when "Paradigms" Meant Twenty Cents?

To say that today's business climate is fast-changing would be an understatement. There's an ever-increasing torrent of new technologies, gadgets, business practices, methodologies, and more. (Not to mention new paradigms!)

You need to focus on your business, not figuring out the difference between CDMA and GPRS, or monkeying around with which technology platform to adopt. You probably don't care about the merits of Java versus .NET, you just want your accounting system to work right.

401 Consulting is your guiding light. Your rock steady technology partner. It's our job to keep up with the changing pace of technology, and we do it really, really well. Before consulting, we spent decades entrenched in low-level, hardcore software engineering and systems analysis, and have been involved in almost all facets of technology from software to hardware, from massive systems to desktop PCs. For nearly two decades we've been the "go to" people for technology advice.

We help our clients on a daily basis with a myriad of issues. Sometimes they're simple things, like recommending the best (and most cost-effective) anti-virus solution. Other times it's more broad issues such as "How do I take my business virtual?" which encompasses everything from web based collaboration tools to voice-over-IP telephony products, to "software as a service" plans and more.

We believe one of our key strengths is that we're not just the techno-geeks who speak gobbledygook. We understand the business side of the equation inside and out, and will talk to you in plain English. It is very common for technical advisers (particular networking and IT consultants) to not only speak techno-gibberish, but to also recommend products that may be fine in a vacuum but aren't really what you need in your specific environment. There aren't any "one size fits all" answers, and you don't want $10,000 solutions to $100 problems.

There are lots and lots of options out there, and the key is knowing which ones are appropriate at which times and in which situations. And making sure there are appropriate, scalable grow paths, so as not to paint oneself into the proverbial corner.

The folks at 401 Consulting look at the full 360-degree view of the situation, and recommend (and help procure and deploy as needed) the appropriate solution. And we promise not to speak alphabet soup!
