Every business reaches a point where existing IT staff is either running too lean or their technology environment has exceeded the level of in-house expertise.  The foundation of Mainstream Technologies is our staff of technology experts who regularly update their skills insuring that technology does not outpace knowledge and expertise.  

We creatively apply proven technologies to solve business problems across a wide range of industries.  Our staff will identify the root cause of given technology problems and implement solutions efficiently and effectively to improve performance.   

Clients of Mainstream have found that entrusting us to focus on their technology needs allows them to focus on running their businesses which improves bottom line performance.  Utilizing robust technology expertise simply pays for itself.

Below are some areas in which we can assist your business:

Custom Software Design & Development

Pre-packaged products do not always fit the requirements of the changing business environment. The need to remain competitive and offer customers increasing value can be limited by off-the-shelf software designed for general purposes.  Mainstream partners with clients to understand their business on the front end, outline their business goals and provide a custom designed solution that fits the needs of their unique business.

Mainstream can be contracted to analyze your business process and make sure your business is operating efficiently and effectively with current processes and existing technology environment.  We provide recommendations on how to best leverage these investments to improve your overall business operation.  Mainstream has found that staff working within a business environment for many years develop a pattern of "fixes" rather than business based solutions.  Whether these "fixes" are due to limited business expertise or budgetary constraints the results are the same; less than efficient process management.

So you have a great innovative idea but lack the technical expertise or staff to deliver it?  The Mainstream team will work with you to fully understand your vision, analyze its requirements and deliver a solution to turn vision into reality.  Many of our clients have utilized our expertise to build out their vision.  The resulting software then provides that client with a product with which to launch a new revenue stream.

When Mainstream develops custom software for a client, the resulting software belongs to the client.  There are never any licensing fees, annual renewal fees or additional location fees.  The client is free to use it in as many locations as they wish, with as many operators as necessary or sell it to like businesses.

Mainstream can continue to expand upon that solution at the client's request or host the solution within our Data Center so that can be fully supported at the source.  However, the software remains proprietary to the client whose vision dreamed it into reality.

When applications reach the end of their life-cycle it can be a time consuming and expensive task to replace them.  Mainstream will analyze current processes and work to develop a strategy to transition these legacy applications to a solution that fits current and developing business needs.  We can help determine the most effective technologies (hardware, software, operating systems and computer languages) that will best meet the client's needs both today and into the future.

Few small to medium-sized companies can afford their own Chief Technology Officer (CTO).  The CTO truly understands technology and can focus on technology trends, new developments, the future needs of their employer and how all of these variables coalesce into the right technology choices for an effective and efficient business technology environment.

Mainstream's core expertise is technology and how it relates to businesses of all types. We take pride in keeping employee skills and knowledge based resources up to date with the latest technology developments and continuing education for all employees.

We can easily fill the CTO role that all businesses need and only a few can truly afford.
