I'm Fred Morris, I have been in business as an information technology consultant in Seattle for over 20 years. A lot has changed in that time, but then again many underlying principles have remained the same: serve your customers, strive for reliability, view controlling costs as a strategic imperative, be flexible, and focus on your core business.
Whether you're a large business or a small one you've got data: lists of customers, vendors, parts, equipment, invoices, donors, supporters, voters, investments, inventory, property, schedules and many others. Sometimes you need a list and you don't have it. Sometimes the list is out of date or not in the format you need it in. Sometimes you need to merge or crosscheck multiple lists. Maybe you want to index your data or publish a catalog, directory or some other compendium.
I'm willing to make a bet that you went looking with Google or some other search engine for an answer to some question and found this page. If you're in the Puget Sound area and you want quality in-depth advice or assistance, then keep reading. The rest of this page is basically a questionnaire; check the boxes or provide information where pertinent as you read. At the bottom, provide some contact information and click the "Contact Me" button.. or pick up the phone and call me at 206.297.6344.
