What we’ll cover during your call

You do not need to prepare anything. These are the areas we typically walk through to understand your situation and identify the best options.

  • Your business and how you use technology.
  • Any current issues, errors, or recurring problems.
  • Your existing setup: network, workstations, devices, and software.
  • Security, backup, and access concerns.
  • Where you want to be in 6 to 12 months with your systems.
  • Clear recommendations based on your needs and budget.

Who you will be talking to

MJ

Your consultant

Michael A. James

IT Consultant & Systems Specialist

You will speak directly with me, not a call center or rotating technician. I have more than 39 years of experience in networking, systems administration, technical training, and end-user support.

My approach is straightforward: understand what you need, focus on practical solutions, and help you avoid unnecessary complexity and wasted spending. If I am not the right fit for your situation, I will let you know that, as well, and even give you guidelines on finding the best fit for your needs.

Quick questions before you book

A few common questions that come up before our first conversation.

How long is the call?

Most calls are 30 minutes. If we need more time to understand your situation, we won’t rush.

Is this a sales call?

No. The goal is clarity. If we decide to work together afterward, great. If not, you still leave with answers.

What if I’m not sure what’s wrong?

That’s completely fine. We’ll talk through symptoms, ask questions, and narrow it down together.

Do I need to prepare anything?

Nope. Screenshots or notes can help, but they’re not required. If we are discussing training needs, an understanding of your staff training goals will be needed.
