General Technology Consulting

Related to the above services, SunnysideTech has a special technology consulting service. SunnysideTech provides customized technology consulting to individuals (as a personal technologist) and small organizations. Our aim is to make technology work for you. Using a holistic approach we work with you as an individual or with your small business to develop strategies to integrate technology to enhance your personal lifestyle or productivity of your small business.

During an initial consultation an expert from our team identifies common tasks and processes that could benefit from technological solutions. We take account of your situation and personality, and suggest how your activities can be enhanced with technology. In our assessment we affirm aspects of your work-flow that work well for you and makes recommendations to improve aspects that do not work well. This may involve encorperating new devices, services, or processes in your activities but does not need to be intimidating.

We are teachers as much as we are do-er. For a device or service to be effective, you must both understand how to use them and feel comfortable using them. We will work with you one-on-one at your own pace to provide training and customized instructions and manuals for the devices and services you own using terms you understand.

Our experts have experience with a variety of communication devices and services (smartphones, PDA’s, GPS, VoIP), computer programs (Office, remote desktop management, collaberative workspaces), internet services (filesharing, email services, video conferencing), equipment purchase recommendations (laptop, desktop, digital cameras, iPods, mp3 players, webcameras), digital privacy concerns (encryption, terms of use, privacy policies, privacy legislation) and more.

SunnysideTech is first and foremost interested in helping you. As always, if we cannot be of assistance to you, we will recommend an expert who can be.
