Welcome MTSN Technology Solutions

If you stumbled across this page, well please bare with me as its under construction as I work to start a side business from my day job.  I’m currently working full time as a Server Engineer for a regional Hospital but I’m looking to do some side work with small companies just starting out themselves.

To give you some background, I’ve been in the IT field since 1999, and have worked in everything from Help Desk to Management, I’ve seen many evolution’s of IT, and I continue to see it evolve from stand alone workstations in my early career, to servers running apps and file systems now, along with VMWare virtualization of servers, and now cloud computing.  Cloud computing isn’t for everyone, but for many small businesses its really a great way to get your business up and running, without the high capital costs in server hardware, reduced complexity, work from anywhere, and flexibility that would be very expensive if you tried to do it yourself.

That’s where I come in.  I can work with you and your staff to assess your pain points, come up with effective, low cost solutions that can save you money to spend more on growing your business.

I’ll be honest, no this isn’t a full time business.  Its just starting out.  Maybe you have an in house IT person you like but you want some ideas to help him be more efficient, spend less time fixing things and more time working on something that’s productive for you.

Another aspect of my service, I only charge for what I work.  I’m not a managed service provider, so I’m not looking for long term contracts that bill you per device whether you call for service or not just to maintain your systems.   Ideally, if I can get you off your existing servers and into the cloud using Software as a Service(SaaS), then you really don’t need someone like me to charge you a monthly fee.  The company you bought the SaaS from truly is responsible for maintaining those apps, providing the hardware, and infrastructure to maintain reliability.  This is why so many go to the cloud in the first place.  At that point the only thing left on premise is your workstations, printers and phones.  So my goal is to help you reduce your reliance on spending money on IT hardware by implementing cloud solutions that match your needs.

When you’ve out grown my capabilities, I’ll work with you to source a larger MSP that has those resources to take your business to the next level.  I know my limits, and as I learn the ins and outs, we’ll see where the road takes us.  Who knows, maybe this’ll turn into a full time thing and I’ll evolve my business into an MSP or fulltime consulting firm.

So if you have questions, shoot me an email or call me, I’d be glad to discuss things with you.

Sincerely,

Mike S.
