10X Information Technologies is a loose association of highly skilled IT Professionals, primarily senior consultants, independent contractors, and small business owners. Generally speaking, the bulk of our income is from large projects at Fortune 500 companies, however, we have made a commitment to bring that very high level of expertise to the non-profit and small business customer.
Our vision is to bring the benefit of our 'big business' experience to non-profits and small businesses at prices that make sense for relatively limited budgets. With the exception of 'high tech' companies, a non-profit or a small business generally cannot afford to have highly experienced IT professionals on staff, or even to hire one for an extended period of time. Yet, these kinds of organizations have the same need for secure networks, high traffic web sites, and custom business applications that the Fortune 500 do.
The principals and senior associates of 10XIT are, in addition to being very experienced, able to commit from 10 to 20 hours per week toward this vision. In other words, we have made a commitment to being available to the non-profit and small business community. In addition, we have relationships with some of the colleges in the St Louis area, and we have a number of talented 'apprentices' who work under our direct supervision.
Here's how we meet that need
We find that business problems, and the technical solutions to them, are very consistent within a given industry. For example: Every business that deals with other people's money has an obligation to comply with certain very complex legal regulations. Every retail business has to manage inventory. And so on.
Solving those problems over and over for many different clients has taught us how to solve them very quickly, primarily by applying common software and hardware patterns. In other words, in order to solve your problem, we don't need to invent a new solution from the ground up. We simply need to fully understand the need and apply the patterns that we already know how to implement.
Since we are able to anticipate what a software product must look like and do, we have written a number of programs that generate the source code for us. This is a huge labor saver, and will save you thousands of dollars on any given project.
Finally, as small business owners ourselves, we feel your pain. Frankly we are not going to charge anything near what we normally charge a Fortune 500 company. We will work with you to affordably meet your IT needs and make your vision a reality.
