Technical Support

My virtual office, located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, allows me to centrally serve clients, former employers and fellow associates. My locale and easy access to nearby highways provides a commuting territory under 2 hours, including Binghamton, NY; New York City, NY; northern and central New Jersey; Stroudsburg, Hazleton, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA.  This is my region, but remember...............I can be "virtually" anywhere! 

Establishing an active account will prepare me to come to your aid .  The following is beneficial for my prompt response to your project requests:

• Preliminary visit to your site

• Introductions to your staff, including informal discussions regarding skills and general responsibilities

• Orientation to your systems, sub-systems, library structure, job descriptions, database, security, etc.

• Setting up the necessary requirements for my TCP/IP network connection, my user profile and proper authorities

• Discussions regarding scheduled visits and your overall expectations

Routine On-site and Off-site Schedule:

I will be happy to discuss how my services can best suit your needs.  Allow me to summarize how this generally works:

• Scheduled on-site visits for gathering project requirements; discussions with end users; project meetings

• Off-site analysis and research; design; coding; documentation; preliminary testing

• On-site testing, demonstrations, installations and implementation as applicable

• On-site technical training and transfer of knowledge to IT staff and end users

General Terms:

• Competitive market 1099-Con/W2-Con rates; negotiable based upon location and scope of project

• Invoicing twice monthly for straight time and project related expenses

• Commute expenses are my responsibility, including mileage, meals and accommodations

• Flexible hours suited to all active clients

My resume is available for your review and download.

Job Sharing

For the best return on your investment, turn-around time is always important.  Job Sharing is a growing trend, which applies around the clock coverage in project development.  Mission critical deliverables can be accomplished in 1/2 to 1/3 the time, by using alternate developers in shifts, who successively pick up projects where the previous developer left off.  Although this requires a higher level of team participation, communication and collaboration, it can effectively be incorporated into your project plan.

Feel free to propose job sharing for my consideration.  Flexible hours can be arranged.

Software Research & Evaluation

Are you considering a 3rd party package?  Do you need assistance researching your options and doing a little comparison shopping? For a flat fee, I will:

• Identify popular packages that meet your industry requirements and fit your budget

• Outline the key features for ease of comparison

• Arrange vendor presentations

• Estimate timelines for application interface and implementation

Building Virtual Project Teams

Software development across platforms may require special skills to successfully integrate applications in the most effective manner possible.  Feel free to visit my associates page, where you will find a wide array of talents.  If you need further assistance for building your virtual project teams and coordinating efforts, please do not hesitate to contact me.
