We serve organizations that can’t afford downtime or data loss: law firms, accounting practices, real estate brokerages, healthcare providers, schools, and regional nonprofits.

Our promise is simple: enterprise-grade solutions, delivered locally, with the responsiveness of a hands-on field team.

Our Modernization Story (and Why It Matters)

Our roots include supporting legacy business systems from the Wang era through Niakwa – a platform with a surprisingly loyal base that we’ve helped keep productive for decades. That DNA—protect your investment while modernizing the experience—guides our approach today.

Led by our engineering team, we’re actively re-platforming legacy line-of-business apps into modern frameworks (e.g., Blazor) and building cloud-ready, private AI tools that sit safely alongside your accounting systems. The goal: keep what works, modernize what doesn’t, and unlock analytics your users actually adopt.

Private, Practical AI for Finance & Operations

We are developing AI-assisted analysis for accounting data (QuickBooks, Sage, Dynamics GP) that runs locally on Windows 11 or inside your network. It’s not a fancy report writer—it’s a fast way to ask real questions of your books:

Which customers haven’t purchased in 90 days?
Who are your highest-margin buyers?
What products are trending down?
What’s hiding in line-item and invoice history?

We vectorize up to 5 years of historical data so you can query it securely—like talking to an accountant who’s read every invoice. No data leaves your environment unless you want it to.

Proven Field Service, Local Accountability

We’ve supported hospitals, schools, and regional nonprofits across Greater Boston for decades. Our managed services model includes:

On-site engineers (Newton-based) for projects and scheduled maintenance
Asset documentation (every device, printer, warranty, and license)
Monthly health checks (patching, antivirus, lifecycle notices)
Free plan audits & site surveys to benchmark cost, risk, and readiness

We’re built to be cost-effective, predictable, and there when you call.
