“I didn’t know excel could do that”

That’s the most common response I hear from my clients. As we work together, I’ll help you leverage this sleeping giant on your desktop to do more than you ever imagined.

After hearing our needs, Shawn took our data and made it extremely useful and functional. There was no task that he was unable to accomplish. He was easy to communicate with, quick to respond to our needs, and was highly capable of accomplishing every request we had to better our data management. He went out of his way to make sure there was mutual understanding, and helped us greatly to understand how our new data system worked. He made helpful recommendations for additional functionality as well, reflecting both his genuine interest and expertise.

Shawn came to us and listened to our story, from current operations, problems, and needs, including our pie in the sky dream come true process goals. It was evident from the start that Shawn was there to give us a process specific solution to what we needed, not a plug and play generalized overlay.  His patient, and easy to work with style were essential, since our technical knowledge was so limited. His input and creativity were both timely and solution based and on point for our needs. The end result was so much more than our original expectations. The overall impact on our process including increased efficiency, production and effectiveness was immediate and continues. An unexpected outcome is the continuation of our relationship. His attention to quality care, customer satisfaction, responsiveness and availability remains in place long after the conclusion of our initial business.

Shawn our personal “God of Excel” gets five stars!! Thanks so much for all your hard work.

here’s an overview of some of the work we’ll do together…

automate your tasks

All tasks are not created equal. But often it’s the small, repetitive ones that sneak under the radar and steal your productivity.

When you begin to identify them and stomp them out, you’ll find that stress goes down, creativity goes up and you can stay focused on what really matters.

I’ll work with you to create tools to help you automate those tasks, regain those hours and turn them into growth.

streamline your systems 

The systems you use to enter, manipulate and utilize data play a huge part in how efficient your team is.

 Better systems allow for less waste and more capacity.

I’ll analyze your current processes and use of data to see where we can create new tools or modify existing ones to smooth out your workflow.

Whenever there is potential for miscommunication, you can bet that it will cost you time and money to effectively re-communicate.

What if you could build features into your files that would help eliminate duplicate data, miscommunication and more?

We’ll work together to help you clamp down on these communication leaks.
