Case Studies

Examples of how our insights, experiences and hands-on efforts helped several small businesses increase both productivity and creativity.

South Jersey Advertising Agency

Faced with the daunting task of moving their busy advertising and public relations firm, the agency recognized the value of investing in professional help in order to avoid negatively affecting their business. Their primary concern was maintaining seamless services to minimize the impact on clients.

Informed by an in-depth consultation with the company, Dustin developed a plan to address numerous challenging issues including properly routing all business associates to their new location to avoid interruptions in service, choosing the best equipment for their new location, changing utilities providers, and making the transition as smooth and efficient as possible.

At the new location, Dustin arrived as soon as the power and internet access became available. Dustin set up, linked, and extensively tested the mixed PC and Mac network to ensure it was ready for the company to begin servicing their clients the minute they sat down at their desks. Sometimes the best job is the one that goes unnoticed, and agency’s customers never experienced even a hiccup in the relocation transition process.

Structural Engineers Office

This structural engineering firm recognized the rapid changes in their industry and understood the need to adopt CAD technologies to remain competitive. With their traditional business model becoming obsolete, they decided to take action and hired Dustin to guide them in selecting the best CAD system and plotter suited to their specific needs. Their goal was to build a customized, state-of-the-art computer network that would improve their web presence and make them more competitive in a technology-driven marketplace. Additionally, Dustin was tasked with training the staff on using the new system and its tools.

Dustin conducted an in-depth analysis of the company, taking into account its financial situation, existing clients, and future goals. He focused on finding realistic hardware and software solutions, considering the staff's computer experience and the company's need for a modern website that met client demands. His approach ensured that the company’s technological upgrade was not only efficient but also aligned with their long-term vision.

Once the network and plotters were installed and tested, Dustin provided personalized, one-on-one CAD training to each employee. Tailoring the training to individual abilities, he explained the complexities of AutoCAD, answering questions and ensuring each employee gained expertise with the new system. Dustin’s ongoing support and training helped the staff build confidence, allowing them to create superior CAD designs and effectively compete in the fast-evolving tech landscape.

Construction Development Firm

The firm determined that their systems were hopelessly outdated. They needed accounting systems & databases, and modern digital office integration. Like many businesses at the time, they needed to maintain access to some of their old systems, as some providers were not delivering updates. An employee recommended Dustin.

Unlike other consultants, who were all too happy to convert and upgrade, but were unwilling to support crucial older systems, Dustin offered a solution that worked for our needs, and within their budget.

Dustin’s solutions worked just as promised. The firm now had new operating systems and software, and Dustin was always there to help with questions and problems. Over the years, Dustin was there to help move their office, keep their systems updated, upgrade their network, and allow for home access. In addition, Dustin developed their award-winning website.
