To appreciate what distinguishes Avatar Consulting from our competitors requires more than an explanation of what we do and how we do it — it requires knowing who we are. We’re people who are passionate about technology and who see it as an extension of the creative arts, not a replacement for traditional design, illustration and interpretation. It’s a different kind of canvas, but the talent and inspiration are the same.
Left-Brain Solutions for Right-Brain Companies
Ours is a society of linear thinkers, and most technology companies are designed to service them. But what about the creative professionals whose business needs don’t revolve around assigned parking spaces, cubicle farms and water-cooler chatter?
Technology is a means to an end, another tool of trade — like a hammer, spatula or paint brush. And just as one shouldn’t need to know how to make a hammer, spatula or paint brush to use one, Avatar Consulting helps creative businesses and individuals choose the best tools for the job, without presuming the right tool is the same for every person, every situation or every client.
Networks of Support
Networking is more than just making sure systems communicate with each other. It’s about industry intelligence — knowing what changes will affect how our clients do business, for better or worse. Having the foresight to make proactive suggestions comes from ongoing research, established partnerships and personal relationships.
You don’t need a crystal ball to see the future, but you do need to know where to look. Our broad and diverse network of industry contacts allows us to predict the best time to make changes and when the leading edge may prove dangerously narrow.
Evolution or Revolution?
Avatar Consulting delivers a bit of both — sometimes building upon previous successes, other times devising an entirely new approach. New challenges require new solutions, but not always at the sacrifice of time-tested techniques. By applying both experience and vision to our clients’ needs, we provide solutions for today and tomorrow.
Success comes from doing what you do best. For our clients, that means not worrying about file sharing and software updates — that’s our job. We even worry about the things our clients rarely consider, like network security and disaster recovery. By looking for possible pitfalls, Avatar Consulting also identifies situations that could result in costly downtime and turns them into opportunities for improved performance and reliability.
culture
Light, tight design shops, ad agencies and marketing firms have the agility to compete with their larger counterparts, but often lack the IT staff and support necessary to maximize the flexibility such small size provides.
Avatar Consulting allows businesses with limited or specialized needs to leverage the experience and expertise of consultants who understand the unique demands of creative industries and individuals.
