Are you a start-up founder with a vision, or an intrapreneur responsible for product development or business change, but not an expert in technology? If so, you’re not alone!Having a strong technology foundation no longer differentiates businesses in the marketplace, it qualifies them for it. Without one it is impossible to compete and, as a result, it is now expected that every business is a technology business.What if I could help you execute your vision, develop your product or implement process change whilst allowing you to focus on your core competencies – setting direction for the business or project, marketing to your customers (internal or external) and driving user adoption and success?For companies that deliver flowers, provide mental wellness education, run outdoor fitness classes, and similar, I’ve implemented and systems that enable them to take payments and track orders, make bookings and deliver content, and market to and support customers.For companies that wanted to develop a solution that calculates sales commission, provides business insights by aggregating data from multiple systems or automatically analyses images in real time from a video feed, I’ve architected and built products that scale to meet demand, provide an always on service and intelligently balance performance and cost optimisation.If you’ve got a product or project that needs a technology partner we should talk.The best way to reach me is by email – tom@s16.partnersIf you want an icebreaker, then tech is a good start. I fell into technology at the start of my career and have only got more passionate about it since. I implemented internal IT systems as a systems administrator and Cisco networking engineer, sold and helped customers demonstrate ROI in a digital adoption platform as a principal consultant, and led an international team supporting customers across 4 continents before taking responsibility for all infrastructure and operations of a globally distributed eAssessment platform with millions of end users. Now I join forces with enthusiastic visionaries, who need a technical partner, to create products and solutions to a variety of business problems across multiple industries.Not really interested in chatting tech? You’re still not alone! I love cycling and long distance hiking – my profile images are taken during a 7 day hike in Naukluft National Park, Namibia – as well as walking the dog or spending time on projects in my smallholding.
