How we help Alternative Services focus on what they do best:

Assist youth and their families. We asked Roberta Luckel of Alternative Services to share how we help her nonprofit organization. Here's what she had to say...

Efficient Time Savings.

"Our existing network and server were just too time consuming and expensive to maintain. When Tektivity presented the option to host all our applications, we productively made the switch. Now there is no waiting for a service person to come out and fix a problem. We just call Tektivity for immediate response and the problem is solved quickly at its own location, resulting in less down-time and more efficiency. The biggest payoff is time."

Remote Access.

"With several offices throughout Iowa, we needed to communicate back and forth in a productive manner. Tektivity developed a remote access system where we can share information, reports and data through electronic means. This reduces paper waste from faxing and mailing, while also decreasing postage expense. In addition, all billing information and internal payroll is now confidentially done via remote access. These have been huge benefits for our nonprofit setup."

Expertise.

"We're in the business of helping people with life changing situations. We can't always focus on the computer necessities that keep our much-needed data running smoothly. We sought out Tektivity because we were aware of its expertise and ability to provide quality service and hosting options. Tektivity's responsiveness and ability to give a real-time, helpdesk "shadowing" service have proven to be effective for our organization."

How we help Rinderknecht focus on what they do best: Build Buildings

We asked Scott Friauf of Rinderknecht Associates how we help his company. Here's what he had to say...

Straightforward.

"We just got tired of trying to work through our computer problems with various technology service providers. So, I talked with Tektivity, and invited them to our office. I liked their straightforward approach and hired them to help us. What a difference that decision has made in our business processes."

Simple Solutions.

"Tektivity recommended networking our system...a plan that would meet our needs, our customers' needs AND our budget. Nothing more, nothing less. They recognized that what we had just needed to be improved upon- not totally changed."

Long-Term Partners.

"Once they had our systems restructured to meet our needs, they even took the time to provide step-by-step staff training so that we could use the full potential of these systems. Without a doubt, Tektivity is our tried and true partner in planning and implementing our business technology."

Quotes:

"We already had a computer network and were in the middle of an accounting system conversion. Instead of trying to sell us a lot of new stuff, Tektivity took what we had and made it better. It's the best advice we've heard in a long time. They're the team we trust with all of our business technology."

- Rick Whitaker, President, Pool Tech, Inc.

"For years we invested in technical systems that were limited and unresponsive to our needs, but then we brought Tektivity in for a consultation and we immediately saw the benefits. They showed us how to maximize our technical system, increase staff productivity, and reduce our technical costs!
The stability of our current system has been refreshing after struggling for years with our old system. Outsourcing to Tektivity has increased our office efficiencies, eliminated technical problems, and reduced our annual technology budget. Additionally, we've gained a disaster recovery system as well as the newest technical products and the most current virus protection programs available. When we need Tektivity's help, they are always personable, knowledgeable and very accessible. Outsourcing to Tektivity is the smartest technical move we've ever made."
