Independent ERP & Technology Advisor — Tempe, Arizona
Senior, vendor-neutral advisory for Tempe-area businesses navigating major technology decisions. No software sold. No vendor commissions. No referral fees.
The inflection point — when the systems that got you to $25M won't get you to $100M.
Tempe's business mix reflects its proximity to Arizona State and the broader East Valley tech corridor — a concentration of growing tech companies, advanced manufacturing, R&D-heavy firms, and the mature mid-market businesses serving them. Many of these companies are at the inflection point where the systems that got them to $25M won't get them to $100M.
The work we do most often for Tempe-area clients sits at exactly that inflection: software selection for a manufacturing firm outgrowing QuickBooks, AI viability assessment for a tech company being pitched everything by every vendor, ERP health checks for companies that grew faster than their systems. Mark's background — designing systems for manufacturers and distributors before becoming a partner — fits this market unusually well.
