Our Approach

Home / About Us / Our Approach

It’s your solution. You should demand understanding.

We’re not mad scientists. We’re not magicians. We’re not wizards. We don’t implement your solution with a cloud of techno-smoke and distracting jargon. For us, educating the client along the way is essential to the success of any engagement. It’s your solution. You should demand understanding.

We take a partnership/apprenticeship approach from start to finish, focusing as much on knowledge transfer as we do on design, development, and deployment. The NetCraftsmen® difference goes beyond transparency. It’s driven by illumination. Yes, you can see what we’re doing, but you should also understand why we are doing it. This is a cornerstone of our process, and what sets us apart from the typical IT reseller.
