Technology Evangelist, Higher Ground Technologies

2012-04-16T09:25:58-04:00

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm significantly stepping back into the Church/Ministry IT world by joining Higher Ground Technologies. My new title is Technology Evangelist (a title I've semi-secretly wanted for years) and I have the opportunity to help churches and ministries with their technology needs.

Those of you who know me have heard me say that one of my favorite things to do is visit with, and interact with, church and ministry IT people about technology ideas, best practices, etc. Now that's my job! OK, there is more to it, but that's a start. I'll be doing some hands-on work, some account management, some new business development, some writing, some marketing, a bit of social media, and a lot of intentional researching of products for the ministry-based technology users.

I'm excited!

Higher Ground has been in this business for quite a while, and we have a lot of delighted clients. At the same time, we've been a well kept secret. Part of my new role is to change that. We want to let others know who we are, what we do, and that we can help. We're a bit non-traditional sometimes. We don't always align ourselves with the biggest, or most well-known, brand-names, but we stand behind our product choices like nobody else. Our model is primarily managed services, with the slight twist that we consider ourselves to be managed service partners. Yes, we do the heavy lifting, but we do it in a coordinated fashion with our clients. We may not visit you very often, but we are some of the most approachable, friendly, and likable people you will ever encounter. We believe in personalized service. When you call us, we're likely to know your name!

If you are in need of "just a little more" help in your IT department, or if you want to outsource a majority of what you do, we can handle either case and everything in-between. Give us your challenges, let us help make you an offer. Where others may make offers you can't refuse, we'll make offers you want to accept. Try us!

We are a leading provider of Rukus wireless equipment, Switchvox VoIP phone services, and Tereo backup services. We can help you with network architecture and engineering, remote monitoring and management, email hosting and filtering, and if you have other IT-related needs, just ask. We are here to help you be successful.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've done any blogging. Several posts abandoned, some drafts in progress, and a big queue of stuff waiting to be posted.. OK, I'll be back! Need to finish up the ChMS series (some things have changed), and may have some other things to announce very shortly.

I'll be at Watermark next week for the national CITRT, along with about 250 others. Woot!
