Brian brings three key values to all his customers:

1. He learns your business as if it was his own.  He learns how you use the computers to support the financial, sales and marketing of your business – and then helps you expand your plans cost-effectively.  He’s like having your own full-time computer person, without the full-time cost.

2. He listens and explains the computer in plain English.  Know how other computer folks usually bury their explanation in computer-eze?  Brian doesn’t.  He explains the complex simply, providing users and managers good information to make good decisions. You don’t feel stupid or embarrassed when you’re talking with him.

3. He doesn’t push you to upgrade, replace and buy.  If you think you need a new computer and you don’t, he will tell you so.  If your software is working fine, he won’t recommend you replace it.  Commonly, he will encourage you to stay with the systems you have and work to eliminate the little bits that take away from your productivity.

These key values add up to a solid business relationship.  Critical Computer customers trust Brian to help them do the right thing, and they prosper as a result.
