About the Origin of Ten Mile Creek
In the winter of 1998, I had so many friends and acquaintances contacting me for technical assistance with hardware and software problems, all of my free time practically disappeared. Every techie out there has experienced the occupational hazard of having a friend come to you, the "computer expert", with questions and ask for help. I decided to turn it into a consulting business, and went into partnership with a couple of my colleagues. Ten Mile Creek Consulting was born.

Role of TMC
The main role of our little consulting firm is to provide clients with cost-effective technology solutions to meet their needs, in particular small and home-based businesses. We concentrate our efforts in the Sacramento and Bay area.
Members of our consulting team are certified Microsoft Professionals, and have five or more years experience in various technical fields. We have team members with military and government career backgrounds.
Computer Cost of Ownership and Affordability
For many reasons, hiring effective computer personnel has become a costly undertaking. It is not uncommon for consulting fees to range upwards from approximately per hour. Because most social justice organizations, individuals and small family businesses have considerably tighter budgets than other corporations or groups, they are often unable to afford the costs required to secure quality computer support. As such, many of the benefits that may be reaped by appropriate use of computer technology are not available to such organizations.
Computers have a cost of ownership very similiar to an automobile; it takes regular maintenance to keep your computer running, just like your car. Unfortunately, the analogy doesn't end there. Costly computer service can start to resemble an auto repair bill.
We at Ten Mile Creek Systems Consulting take a different approach, and adjust our consulting fees to fit the type of client and the scope of the project (a sliding scale). This makes our services within the reach of a small or home-based business.
