Run the business like a Fortune 100.
Without the IT department.

I bring 20+ years of technology leadership from T-Mobile, healthcare, and SaaS to small businesses in Tampa Bay, and I start with the tools you already pay for.

If your problem isn't on this list, that's normal. Bring it to the call.

How an engagement runs

Discovery

We start with a free 30-minute consultation to understand your business, challenges, and goals. Then move to paid discovery ($50/hr) to deeply analyze your current processes and technology.

Strategy

I present a clear roadmap with specific recommendations, timeline, and ROI projections. You'll know exactly what you're getting and why it matters.

Implementation

I build and deploy your solution with thorough testing and documentation. You'll be involved at key milestones to ensure we're on track.

Training & Support

Your team gets hands-on training to use the new systems confidently. Plus optional ongoing support to keep everything running smoothly.

Three engagements, in their own numbers

A medical practice's paper timesheets

The Challenge: A multi-location medical practice was drowning in paper timesheets. They were spending thousands annually on equipment, supplies, and processing time across multiple offices. Employees had no visibility into their PTO balances and frequently over- or under-estimated their available time off.

The Solution: Using their existing Microsoft 365 subscription (no additional software costs*), I built a custom PowerApps timeclock application with integrated PTO tracking, predictive end-of-year carryover calculations, and automated payroll reporting. Employees could clock in/out from any device, view real-time PTO balances, and plan ahead with accuracy.

Results: $0* in additional software costs · 15+ hrs saved per pay period · 100% employee adoption rate.

A nonprofit's move off free Gmail

The Challenge: A local 501(c)(3) nonprofit was using free Gmail accounts, struggling with board meeting coordination, and had no efficient system to capture and respond to volunteer applications. This made them look unprofessional to donors and caused them to lose eager volunteers due to slow response times.

The Solution: I implemented Microsoft 365 for Nonprofits (free through TechSoup), set up professional email addresses on their own domain, configured Microsoft Teams for seamless board meetings with recording and file sharing, and created a PowerApps volunteer application portal with automated workflows to notify staff and track volunteer status.

Results: 80% faster volunteer response time · $0* ongoing software costs (nonprofit licensing).

A services firm's scattered project tracking

The Challenge: A growing professional services firm was managing client projects in scattered Google Docs and spreadsheets. They struggled with version control, missed deadlines, couldn't easily report on project status, and had no automated workflow for client onboarding.

The Solution: I implemented a complete Microsoft 365-based project management system featuring custom SharePoint lists for project tracking, a PowerApps interface with built-in workflow rules and USPS address validation for data quality, Power Automate workflows for automated alerts and updates, custom SPFx web components for executive dashboards, and a PowerApps timesheet application for accurate billable hours tracking.

Results: 75% reduction in project admin time · 100% on-time project delivery · $30K+ annual cost savings.

* Figures are from these specific engagements. Whether a solution adds software cost depends on your existing Microsoft 365 licenses, user count, and requirements. I confirm that in discovery before anything is built.

Andrew L. Sanders, MBA, studio portrait

I've spent over 20 years solving complex technology challenges for Fortune 100 companies like T-Mobile, leading support organizations for SaaS companies, and driving digital transformation in healthcare. Now I'm bringing that enterprise-level expertise to small and medium-sized businesses across Tampa Bay and beyond.

I've sat on the buying side of vendor negotiations and the building side of rollouts, so I know where projects go wrong and how to stop it before you pay for it.

Whether you're buried in spreadsheets, underutilizing your Microsoft 365 subscription, or just know there's a better way to do things, I'm here to help you work smarter.

Questions owners ask first

Do I need to buy new software?

Often not. Many businesses already pay for more than they use, whether that’s Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or something else. I look at what you have before recommending anything new, and I confirm any cost in discovery.

What does discovery cost?

Discovery is $50/hr, after a free 30-minute consultation. That paid discovery time is where I analyze your current processes and technology before recommending anything.

Do you work on-site?

I work both remote and on-site around Tampa Bay. Which one makes sense depends on the engagement, and we'll agree on it during discovery.

How are projects billed?

Discovery is $50/hr. Implementation is $150/hr, with 50% due at design approval and 50% due 60 days from delivery — a 2% discount applies if you pay within 14 days. Ongoing support is a custom retainer.

Do you work with nonprofits?

Yes. One of my case studies is a local 501(c)(3) that I moved from free Gmail accounts to Microsoft 365 for Nonprofits, including professional email, Teams for board meetings, and a volunteer application portal.

What size business do you work with?

Typically 5 to 100 people: multi-location practices, nonprofits, and professional-services firms. If you have a few dozen people and no IT department, you’re in range.
