Why Focus
Works works...
All
people and organizations have specialties. Lawyers are very good at
working within the Legal System. CPA’s are experts in the accounting
arena. Retailers can tell you everything about their products.
However, when any of them pick up the phone, all they want to hear
is a dial-tone.
They do not care how the dial-tone is generated nor the complex
series of cables and switches required to connect their call. All
they care about is that the call goes through and they are connected
to the number they are calling.
The "Dial-Tone" model is the way technology should be.
When you turn on your
computer you should not have to worry that the anti-virus signature
file has been updated. Nor do you care if the latest security patch
was successfully installed on your server. You just want it to work…

Enterprise Level Experience
Tired of dealing with geeks, "kids" or people that have never worked
in a corporate environment? How about consulting companies that
treat your IT environment like an E-Bay outlet, with inconsistent
brands of workstations, no-label servers, and have no plans for
warranty coverage?
Then WELCOME to the Enterprise Level of service.
We are all experienced C-Level professionals and we are comfortable
presenting to you, your Board of Directors or your auditors.
We have been there; we understand how to speak "auditor"
and you will
never have to be afraid of an Engineer showing up in jeans and a
t-shirt. You want and expect professionals and that is what you get
with
Dark Arts!

Rely on our mantra of -
All Technology MUST be
implemented with the objective of adding to the bottom line and not
merely because it is new technology... 
What Makes Dark Arts Different...
First off, Dark Arts Consulting is a veteran
owned and operated company. We take great pride in our
"military-like" precision in the planning and execution of all of
our operations. Having served and fought in Desert Storm the
pressures of managing and delivering on a multi-facetted technology
operations is a walk in the park for us.
Our esprit de corps is infectious when it
comes to your technology operations.
Secondly we are a strong believer in:
You get what you inspect... NOT
what you expect!
We will examine your environment and
identify and apply a SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities
and Threats) methodology in describing your operations. This tried
and true method helps to reduce surprises.
With your SWOT analysis in
hand, we will sit down with you during the design and implementation
of Focus Works and develop a complete set of policies and procedures
that will help you structure your IT operations. Detailed project
plans will set guidelines and deliverables that you will then be
able to set expectations around.
You would not expect your accountant
to haphazardly perform your accounting activities, why should you
expect anything less from your technology group?
We also practice doing the "right
thing". If that means staying late to provide additional training or
waking up early to reboot a server, then that is what we will do.
