New Local Business Garners Strong Results In Spite Of Weak Economy!
After falling victim to a wave of several dot-com companies going belly-up, three technology professionals have decided to try their hands at a different kind of start-up... their own.
Beacon Technology Solutions, LLC, is a Trumbull venture formed by Mike Russo, Dave Christiano, and Dan Jackson, to cater to small and medium offices throughout Connecticut-companies that traditionally couldnt afford a full time techie", but also couldnt afford to be without one. Their solution? A consulting company. Its a matter of service and cost" says Russo, Why should a company pay for a full time employee with a limited skill set, when they can hire a consultancy for less overall money, not pay benefits, and leverage the 20+ years of diverse experience that BTS brings to the table? They also get the benefits of our buying power, and never have to worry about an employee on vacation-theres always coverage."
Many of the companys existing clients come fresh off the heels of an IT disaster. Its only after a hard drive crash, virus infection, or security breach that companies realize that it can be far more expensive to be unprepared than to hire experts to maintain your data and security. Attorney Maurizio Lancia has been in that exact situation. Ive had a critical hard drive fail twice in my law practice." Says Lancia The first one took months of manual entry to put all my data back on my computer." It cost me time and resources. After a faulty harddrive caused a second failure, I only experienced two hours of downtime, while the BTS tech drove to my office, restored my data to a new computer, and had me up and running with no data loss. I barely noticed it had happened again, and have no fears for the future."
The Beacon team likes to think of itself as going outside the industry norms-by providing clients with guidance free of charge. All offices with more than 3 computers are eligible for a free audit, which results in a detailed report revealing what the companies are doing right and wrong, as well as what BTS might do differently, and time/cost to implement the changes. Generally" says Christiano companies know exactly what they want. Up to date virus protection, fast computers, networks that dont go down, backups on their data, and someone to call when things go wrong. They just dont know where to go to get all that. Thats where we come in." Right" chimes Russo We have one customer whose solution to hardware failures was to purchase a new computer every time. He didnt know where to turn for help. For no fee, we were happy to show him our vision of his network, and how it could help his business. "
When you get down to it," sums Jackson we reconcile a void in service to small companies. They need affordable help on a situational basis, and we provide expertise from years of network, system, and personal support. We get to know them, their business goals, and marry them to the appropriate technology solutions."
