00:00:00.430 --> 00:00:06.410
>> My name is Carl Fitch I own a computer
consulting company called Statera we have

00:00:06.410 --> 00:00:09.030
offices all over the western United States.

00:00:09.030 --> 00:00:13.140
About a third of the time it's
what we call business consulting.

00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:17.660
So helping companies understand what
their, you know strategic direction is.

00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:19.850
Where they should invest in technologies.

00:00:19.850 --> 00:00:25.320
What the business processes are that should
be automated so the you know the kind

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.920
of consulting you know that
doesn't compile I call it you know

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.280
because it's you know not technology based.

00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:36.830
The other 2/3 is very technology oriented so
actually implementing those ideas and strategies

00:00:36.830 --> 00:00:40.570
on a whole variety of different
technology platforms.

00:00:40.570 --> 00:00:47.850
As a professional services firm it
probably more closely resembles a law firm

00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:50.610
or an accounting firm in terms
in structure so you know early

00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:54.380
on you know I'm the guy that's
selling it in, doing it in,

00:00:54.380 --> 00:00:58.330
you know making sure the customers are
thrilled and as we grew and expanded

00:00:58.330 --> 00:01:02.740
across the country my job becomes less
about you know the client every day

00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:05.180
as it is making sure the operations are good,

00:01:05.180 --> 00:01:08.820
that we have the right processes
and people on the company.

00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:13.200
But my best days are the ones that
I'm still face to face with a customer

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.290
and understanding what they're trying to
achieve and doing my best to help them.
