Who We’re NOT a Good Fit For at KTI
TRUTH IS, WE ARE NOT A “GOOD FIT” FOR EVERYONE.
As part of being authentic and transparent, we freely admit Crafty Penguins is NOT for everyone! We know our strengths and weaknesses, and what makes a good and bad client. To save everyone’s time, here is a list of organization types we don’t bring value to.
- You only want somebody to call occasionally when something is really broken.
- You think that setting up a computer infrastructure is a one-time event and that it can run forever without maintenance (This is contrary to our best practices of ongoing management, security, and system automation.)
- You’re looking for the lowest price consultant. (We are a brilliant multi-disciplinary team but not cheap. As the saying goes, Quality, Fast, Cheap – pick two…)
- You don’t value technology. (We have much better relationships with early adopters, visionaries, and early majority people than late adopters and laggards.)
- You don’t deal well with constructive feedback and recommendations. (We prefer dialogue and rapport in our ongoing working relationships.)
- You’re happy with cobbled together systems built in shoe-string budget that nobody can support but your in-house guy. (We would be happy to stabilize your systems with latest best practices and more simple/stable platforms.)
- You don’t want to let us use our standard tools. (We need standard tools for backup, anti-virus, firewalls, remote support, monitoring, reporting to guarantee we can quickly deliver a high level of service, and believe they reduce your total costs in the long run)
- You don’t have buy-in from the top. (We can achieve the best results when management is onboard and willing to improve security, stability, and performance while decreasing the “bus” factors.)
