Key Points
We work ONLY with businesses ...
Computer geeks willing to work with home users are everywhere. We choose to focus solely on the needs of small businesses (like our own) with less than a hundred employees (most of our clients have less than a dozen). This allows us to be very effective at what we do... trying to be "all things to all people" always leads to a less effective solution.
We become a part of YOUR team ...
Our goal is for you to think of JPCI as an integral part of your organization... essentially, your own "in-house" IT department. We want to play a part in every solution, which means calling on us when you're still in the planning stages of a project so we can provide insights that will make the whole project as efficient as possilbe.
We're not just "computer guys" ...
We have many years of experience in just about every area of technology, not just computers and networking. If you have technical questions in other areas (sound, video, recording, streaming, computer-phone integration, videoconferencing or any other technical field), please ask. We've either already done it or we know someone who does!

We’ve all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.

Seriously, people... we could use some unsolicited client testimonials for our new site!

Our Philosophy:
JPCI operates under the philosophy that our computers are supposed
to work for us rather than the other way around.. our goal is to
provide a complete computer-based solution for your small business.
We start out by sitting down with you and deciding what it is you
want to accomplish, and then helping you decide the most
cost-effective plan to get there (without buying more network than
you really need or cutting too many corners so you can’t upgrade
later). We have our client's servers and workatations custom-built
to our specifications, based on your individual needs rather than a
department store or mail-order "straight-out-of-the-box,
what-we-have-is-what-you-get" solution (although we can also take a
basic pre-built system and customize it for you as well). We also
configure the network and software to provide you with a
user-friendly and productive workflow. We connect your local network
to the Internet securely, and allow access to only those employees
that you authorize. We help you decide which specific applications
you need to get your work done most effectively, and then integrate
them into an overall "game plan" for your business. And finally, we
help you to keep your network up.
