Notes from the field for people who run small and medium businesses (SMBs) and the technology inside them. We write about the systems that keep a company running — Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), accounting, cloud, data, and the AI now threading through all of it — in plain English, with the costs and trade-offs left in.

Four sections, four registers: corporate strategy for owners and chief financial officers (CFOs), business systems told the way they actually feel from the back office, longer-form essays on how technology and work collide, and hands-on technical guides for the person who has to make it run.

If a piece raises a question about your own systems, our services page is the place to start.
