“Even with over 50 Macs and PCs, both wired and wireless networks, and 300 students and staff, we didn’t want to hire a full-time person to manage our technology. We were also hoping to find someone who was more than just a “computer guy”. Another school referred us to John Barrett of barrett-TECH. John is an IT professional who understands not only technology, but really gets schools and customer service. As expected, he has the technical expertise to resolve our computer, network, server, and software problems which come up. However, he also understands how we work, identifies risks, sees opportunities for improvement, follows through, keeps us informed, and is well liked by our staff. As a result, John Barrett is the one person we now count on for our technology needs.”

"John Barrett possesses a rare combination of broad and deep technical expertise and business understanding so that we need only to call one person for all of our technology needs. It is the principal to principal relationship that is so much sought by those of us who need to get things done without working through the layers of some corporate bureaucracy. He listens carefully to us, understands our business processes, recognizes areas of risk, and identifies opportunities to improve operations. His recommendations are thoughtful, vendor neutral, and are implemented with care to minimize any impact on daily operations.”

"John Barrett at barrett-TECH is excellent at what he does, but what sets him apart is his ability to see the big picture--rather than just stopping by to fix and patch, he will make reasonable recommendations to improve the whole set-up. This helps my clients to grow their businesses smoothly and we really appreciate his timeliness and follow through."
