Implementing business solutions in an easy-to-understand and stress-free way

Do you think you might need a new software solution to support and grow your business?

Do you hear your peers talking about what they are using, how they are working and worry that you are being left behind?

But does the prospect of researching, evaluating, selecting, learning, configuring and implementing a new software solution make you want to hide?

You can remove all stress and worry by engaging me to do what I do best, leaving you to focus on what you do best – growing your business.

I will learn about your business, how you work today and your goals for the future. We’ll talk about the software you currently use, alongside any manual processes.

Armed with your requirements, I’ll research, trial and evaluate a variety of solutions, enabling you to make the right choice for your business. We’ll then work together to implement any new software solutions or processes in an easy-to-understand, non-technical way.

During my lengthy career working with software solutions on helpdesks, as a trainer and project manager, I have mastered the art of translating geek into human and making the process stress-free and fun!

Contact

We've been absolutely bowled over with the amount of research and energy Chris put into the project. It's been really good, very efficient, and we think the big thing is, she's took it at our pace. Chris has been extremely adaptable, and it's worked well for us.

I would definitely recommend approaching Chris. If there's something in particular that you're interested in moving forward with, have a conversation, Chris will I'm sure immediately be able to put forward some obvious suggestions, and maybe put forth suggestions that you haven't thought of. And Chris has made it very clear to us that she's there at the end of the phone or on a Zoom call to help us in the future to brush up on those bits where we weren't probably listening correctly.
