"As a marketing company, IT skills are not a core element of our company, but technical projects (such as websites, viral marketing, digital branding efforts) certainly are. We rely on LinkEdge as our virtual "in-house" technology department. We can approach LinkEdge with broad goals that the client wants to accomplish, and in discussion with them hone down the client's wants into specific actionable projects. LinkEdge walks us through the options available, then through the technologies that can put them into place. And we mean more than just "do you need a shopping cart on the website?" LinkEdge helps us to ensure our client site's are built with full SEO features, what hardware OS platforms to use, what software to use for specific goals, and provides us with easy to understand plain English pros and cons of all options. Only a handful of the largest companies can afford to keep all of the IT skills and resources they may need in house, and we're not one of them. But with our long term partnership with LinkEdge we have a scalable, on-demand IT department with no overhead, that uses a balance of US and offshore based resources to accomplish whatever we need at the highest quality and with a low cost. LinkEdge gives us an advantage over our competition."
