About

I am a managed services and support director who has been immersed and directly involved in helping small to medium businesses for more than 25 years. Archer Solutions helps companies manage, maintain, and leverage their Information Technology and business systems to operate at an enterprise level with SMB resources. We provide sys admin service, helpdesk, consulting, monitoring, and managed services. We are focused on intelligently applying big business best practices to the SMB arena to help maximize productivity and profitability. Key areas of concern are growth planning, budgeting, compliance, processes and cost controls. Specialties: Information Technology, Small Business technology optimization, information management, business process optimization. We work only on referrals and word of mouth. We believe in collaborative partnerships with our clients, and we have built our business on competency, integrity and reputation. We don't advertise, we don't cold-call. We don't charge for an initial consult. We view every new client as the beginning of years of working together, and we are committed to long-term business relationships rather than a quick sale. If you or someone you know has been pleased with our services, please refer us.

Houston, Texas Area

For well over 15 years, I have managed and operated a Texas based Managed Services and IT support company providing a unique blend of partnership, technical services, consulting and helpdesk for small to medium businesses. Through a comprehensive and flat-fee service program, we are able to give our clients the robust support of an entire enterprise class IT department at a fraction of the cost. We provide growth planning, vendor management, purchase consulting and business workflow analysis and guidance. Whether it is fixing a broken mouse or developing and deploying a multi-state wide area network or a business continuity strategy, we have it covered. We place a particular emphasis on working with our clients to ensure that IT expenses are planned for and budgeted effectively over the long term. We have clients that go back with us for over 20 years, and the reason for that loyalty is our emphasis on working closely with clients to maximize value and investments for the efficient and problem-free operations of their business systems. In addition, we provide advice, training, and information on ethical and compliance concerns related to the intersection of technology and business. We provide support for a variety of companies and offices all over the state, the country, and other countries. We have extensive experience in a variety of industries including legal, medical, accounting, finance, energy, manufacturing, real estate, retail and veterinary. This provides me with a unique ability to assess a businesses' needs based on a wide and extensive knowledge of varied solutions, vendors, procedures and solutions (including many we have developed ourselves) to identify the best solutions for a particular business need. I am always happy to answer any questions and discuss your business needs.
