The Preferred Nerd - Good I.T. advice. Plain English.

About The Preferred Nerd

MORE THAN JUST A NERD

The Preferred Nerd is an I.T. Consulting Agency. We have experience and training in hardware, software, servers, networking, security, communications, design, phone systems, documentation and more.

We used to provide those things directly, but we’ve seen technology become increasingly complex and intertwined. We spent a lot of our time just explaining things. So now, that’s exclusively what we do.

Is SEO ‘worth it’ for my business? How can I get rid of spam? When should I be buying new computers? How can I stop viruses? How exactly does a more expensive printer save me money? What is the cloud? Should I hire an I.T. person or train someone in the business?

Many of these are questions you can’t just ask of your local repair shop. You need someone who understands technology, how it all connects, and how it relates to your business and existing providers.

What you really need is a nerd, but one with social skills to explain it in plain English.

GET AN I.T. STRATEGY
