Meet Us

Hello,

My name is Andrew Glinka, and I am the owner of Thinking Beyond.

As you’re looking through our website, the one question that is probably going through your mind is:

"What makes these guys any different from the 1000 other IT companies out there?"

That is a good question, and I have a good answer for you. It’s as simple as this:

Unlike all the other IT companies out there, we actually take the time to understand your unique needs and challenges, then work with you to come up with a plan that you understand, provides only what you need, and fits within your budget and time constraints.

"Well, that is the kind of service I would expect, and all the other companies say they do that."

And that is the key point right there. They all SAY they do it, but we’ve actually incorporated this mentality throughout our entire company from the first contact with a sales representative, through our assessment and project planning all the way through to the technicians that service your account and straight up the line to me.

We talk with business owners, CEO’s, CFO’s, etc, on a non-technical level in order to take real-world requirements (such as: “I want to be able to work from home” or “I’m scared to death that my system may crash and I’ll lose all my financial data”) and figure out what their budgets and time frames are, so that together we can come up with a plan that meets todays needs and tomorrows goals.

Sounds simple enough.

"Then how come every time I talk with an IT company they start talking about E-this or I-that or in some language other than English?"

"Or why is it when I have a project to do, they send back a quote with line items that make absolutely no sense and make me feel like an idiot? Worse off, I don’t even know enough about IT to know whether or not I’m getting taken advantage of or what questions to ask to make sure its what I need!"

"And how can everyone have a solution to my problem without even knowing what my problem is first?"

You’re exactly right, and that’s where we come in. We’re THINKING BEYOND the old ways of providing computer and network support. We’ve made every aspect of our service as simple and easy as possible for non-technical people to understand. Some examples of how easy it is include our fixed price assessments in which we talk with you to figure out what your challenges are and how you think they should be addressed, project plans in English so you can understand exactly what the game plan is moving forward and how much it will cost (you can have the technical stuff too if you really want it), fixed price monthly support agreements to help you stay on budget each month, technicians that are polite, respectful, competent and will speak to you in English, continual communication so that you always know what is going on, and most importantly, if something does happen to go wrong, someone to turn to for a quick and fair resolution: ME.

So if you think all the IT companies out there are the same, then you haven’t worked with us. Give us a call and see how easy it can be.
