How do you assist with internet connectivity?
Our technology experts can support internet connectivity in any way that you need it, whether it’s getting internet to your barn or distributing internet throughout it. Rural locations often have limited connectivity options, but that won’t stop us from providing a solution that meets your needs. Plus, you can use our technical support when issues arise.
Is IT outsourcing affordable?
Yes, IT outsourcing can be affordable to your farm and within your budget. Consider the expense of hiring your own internal IT staff, providing them training, benefits, and any other job necessities—it adds up!
Instead, you can budget for access to a larger IT team with more bandwidth to tackle projects, support workers, and solve complex issues. A specialized IT team receives regular relevant industry training, and because the team supports a similar customer base, issues that arise are often familiar and able to be solved quicker. You pay only for the services you need and use, and nothing you don’t.
Can you help with a singular technology project?
If you’re looking for support on custom design or installation requests, give us a call! We have helped many farmers tackle a specific project where there is no monthly contract or fees to uphold. By making technology more accessible, we can help your farm be more productive.
What's a Virtual CIO?
Our Virtual CIO (Chief Information Officer) service brings our technology expertise to your farm’s executive board—driving your farm’s technology advancements, on your schedule. With a tailored technology roadmap, your leadership can make informed decisions about advancing the technology that best aligns with your farm’s goals. Additional benefits include the fact that a vCIO keeps up with industry and technology trends to bring you the latest advancements, and that they often have extensive vendor relationships to get you what you need.
