PosiTek.net

Positek.net is a limited liability company headquartered in Northern Virginia, USA. We provide professional consulting services to small businesses and home offices in the metro Washington DC area. At Positek.net, our philosophy of service includes helping our clients to help themselves. IT support costs can easily skyrocket out of control, and we help our clients understand where technology provides significant value and return on investment, and where it 'looks good, but doesn't do much'. Many of our clients have no IT budget per se, so we work to help them learn what functions they can do themselves without a lot of training, knowledge, or experience. Part of Positek.net's assessment/recommendation cycle includes learning what you have in terms of 'people power', and how to use that effectively to support technology systems without compromising their 'regular' workload. Positek.net expends considerable effort in comparison testing of technology products. We learn the strengths and weaknesses of various competing products, and formulate our recommendations to meet our clients' most urgent needs. We feel that all this work shouldn't be reserved for just our paying clients, and so we make much of our knowledge available via this website. Folks can help themselves to whatever is available, and freely share it with their colleagues and friends. This is not a marketing effort, but (we feel) a public service. We believe that computers and computing has gotten too complicated for the average person to be able to keep up (unless, of course, it is your business). So you'll find many checklists on this site to make it simpler to accomplish technology tasks with less effort. If you do find yourself in need of more technology help than you can do for yourself, feel free to contact us. We provide professional consulting services at competitive rates and will always give you our best efforts. We're persnickity and we're perfectionists--and believe these traits are valuable to our clients. Positek.net maintains an extensive list of qualified IT vendors in the Washington D.C. metro area with the expertise needed to support your IT infrastructure, large or small. Positek.net was founded in 1999 by Mr. Chris Gardner. As the company's principal consultant, Mr. Gardner's experience includes over 17 years of federal government experience using and managing a wide variety of technology systems including server-based networks, telecommunications systems, and IT service organizations.
