Mutual Prosperity,
or No Deal
A partnership only works if it puts more money in your pocket than it takes out. So before we take anyone on, we work out whether what we would build pays for itself. When the honest answer is no, we say so, and we do not take the job.
Three Things We Will Not Trade Away
These are the standards we hold to on every engagement, and the reason we turn some work down.
Technology You Own
Most software is now sold in a shape that keeps you paying forever. We build the other kind. You hold the keys, your data sits on hardware you control, and nothing we install has to phone home for permission to run.
Conversations Over Contracts
When something goes sideways you want someone who picks up the phone and works it out with you, not a vendor reading you a clause. We put the agreement in writing because that is only fair. Then we act like the handshake is the part that counts.
The Win-Win Standard
We would rather profit from your growth than from your problems. That shapes the pricing. We do not bill per person, and we do not earn more when your systems break. The work has to pay for itself or we have not done our job.
The People You Will Actually Talk To
Three of us run this, and you will know which one to call.
Ian keeps the company itself steady. That is the unglamorous work that decides whether we are still here in ten years to pick up your call.
Angel is the reason nobody here gets handed a generic package. She takes apart what you pay for now and works out which parts are worth replacing.
Michael will not patch over something that is broken underneath. He builds on open source so the foundation stays yours, and aims at the failures you would otherwise pay someone to fix twice a year.
Built in Rumford,
Maine
We are headquartered here, and we live here too.
Our office is in Rumford, not in a data center three states away. If you need to see someone in person, that is a drive, not a support ticket.
A town does better when the businesses in it own what they run on. The money that would leave every month as subscription fees stays here instead. That is a small thing for one business and not a small thing across a county.
"We want independent businesses standing on their own two feet. That is the whole job."
Let's See If We're the Right Fit.
The free audit is where we both find out. We will tell you what your current setup costs, what owning it instead would cost, and whether we are the right people for the job. Sometimes the answer to that last one is no.
