Attention Executives and Senior IT Professionals...
"Former Information Technology Executive Assists In The Dear Friend,
My name is Josh Richards. I'm an advisor on IT strategy, management, and engineering matters. I'm an expert at developing highly effective information technology strategies that boost profits, mitigate risks, and reduce "fire fighting". I've worked with 90+ organizations in the last 13+ years. I have been an executive, business owner, investor, consultant, and IT engineer. Here's what my colleagues and clients say about me and my work... "I have had the pleasure of working with Josh Richards over the past several years. In my opinion, he is one of the brightest, most articulate and driven technologist I have had the opportunity to work with. Without a doubt he is an expert in his chosen arena and I have been able to rely on him countless times to get the job done through the years. In addition to this, he is an excellent communicator and he always makes it a point to keep you up-to-date on the projects at hand. As a result, I would highly recommend Josh Richards as a bright, accountable, reliable, honest and fair person to work with. I hope to continue to have him as an asset in my business toolbox for years to come."
Justin Couto, San Luis Obispo, CA "Josh is an extremely bright CTO, network engineer and computer scientist, with a deep working knowledge of security issues and solutions. He gets it. He is able to deliver his commitments, on schedule and on budget. The technical solutions that he has architected at Digital West are an excellent example of his expertise. Josh has great customer focus who works well with both technical and non-technical customers. It's a pleasure to work with Josh."
Richard Buss, San Luis Obispo, CA
Click Here to See All (35+) Testimonials My Availability...I am selective about accepting clients and projects. Typically I work on only two, and never more than four, client projects at a time. With family, personal projects and hobbies, pro bono activities, client work, and other business interests, my calendar is typically full several weeks to months in advance. My Fees...I work against specific objectives with clearly established outcomes and timing, contributing to client business goals. My fees are always based upon the project, and never upon time units. That way you're encouraged to call upon me without worrying about a meter running. This works better for these type of collaborative partnerships. There are some situations where a fixed fee approach may seem impractical. This may be due to unexpected events, inadequate planning, or where a makeshift solution with unclear boundaries is preferred by the client. In these cases, the client pays a retainer, which covers a certain amount of access to me over a period of time. If more access or time is needed, and my availability allows for it, extensions may be granted. The most common application of this is for Ad Hoc Troubleshooting under emergency circumstances. TIP: Some folks like to retain me proactively to insure availability when a crisis hits.
How To Get Started...My aim is to create and maintain long-term, mutually profitable relationships. My objective, if we end up working together, is to become one of your most trusted advisors on technology matters related to your business. It will take time to build trust and confidence in each other, so we'll start working together on some specific problem or opportunity first. If things go well, we'll make a mutual decision to continue. If not, no problem. That's why, I start all new prospective relationships with a Free No Obligation 100% Sales-Pitch Free Phone Consultation. Only then should we determine next steps, if any. Further work together will then be drawn from clearly established objectives, tied to your business goals. How To Get Your Free No Obligation and 100% Sales-Pitch Free Consultation...Fill out the form below for a free 30-minute consultation on the phone with me. My office will arrange a time for you. Ask any question you want and I'll do my best to give you a solid answer. Don't be surprised if I suggest trusted colleagues, other relevant resources, alternative paths, and next steps. This is at least a $125 value, but there is no fee to discuss your situation this one time, and no obligation on your part. TIP: It's okay to contact me if you're not sure whether your situation falls within my "sweet spot". I stay well connected with other professionals. If I am unable to assist you directly, chances are, I will be able to put you in touch with someone who can help. I am more than happy to do so! Free Special Report With Consultation...If you request below and complete your scheduled consultation by August 31, 2009, you will also receive a free copy of "22 Secrets That High Performance IT Departments Know", a special report I authored for my clients.
No Sales PitchMy consultations are not sales pitches. We'll talk about your business, your objectives, the problems you are facing, and ways we can tackle them. At the very least, you will walk away with a clearer picture of how to improve your situation. Best of luck in your endeavors, Josh Richards
