Who does Technivise serve?
Technivise helps individuals and businesses navigate the jungle of technical decisions
with objective advice and support.
Quite often individuals and small business owners are faced with decisions about
technology, security, Internet and computer networks, software, and other matters that
affect their lives or the prosperity of their business. Individual providers of various
services are usually focused on making money for themselves, so the advice they give is
biased for them, not the individual or business.
What does Technivise do?
Technivise acts as an unbiased advisor and consultant that will provide you with options
and solutions that are focused upon your objectives and needs, not those of the providers.
These are often more comprehensive and cost-effective solutions that work for you.
Technivise can also provide low-cost support for these solutions when independent
providers are not the best choice.
Because Technivise is well versed in engineering, science, communication systems, the
Internet, electronics, and other technologies, we can provide a comprehensive view to
present options for you that you might not have considered. Some areas of our work
include Technical Advice, Technical Support, Technical Consulting, Cyber Security,
Systems Engineering, Internet Branding, Internet Presence, Web Presence, Security
Assessments, Electronic Systems, audio and video enhancement and conversion, and
Proposal Reviews.
What is Technivise’s background?
Technivise’s efforts started in 2001 under a different business and grew from a breadth of
experience gained through education and the workplace and operating multiple
businesses. It expanded by helping other individuals and businesses be successful so they
didn't have to worry about technology details that were essential to their success but not
core to their primary business activity.
Locally in New Mexico, Technivise has consulted with individuals and small businesses
such as lawyers and lawyer offices, secretarial support, audio transcription companies,
spas and salons, and store owners. Our services are available country wide through
remote support or for significant efforts, we can travel to you.
About the Owner
Michael Skroch (skraw) has 30+ years experience in multiple science and technology
fields including Internet and web technologies, systems engineering, electrical
engineering, audio manipulation and enhancement, computer science, cyber security,
physical security, security assessments and design, branding, and controlling web
presence. He has worked with individuals, companies, and government agencies. In
addition, Michael has connections to a broad set of providers that can be leveraged to
understand the most effective and cost-effective approach to your needs.
Approach
One of his best attributes is seeing the whole picture of what you’re trying to accomplish
(sometimes suggesting a wider picture beyond your initial thoughts) so that you’re
informed to make a decision. That helps you know your options and get things done right
the first time. He also is skilled at coordinating a team to achieve your objectives when
that approach can better meet your needs.
Michael believes that trust, integrity, honesty, and confidentiality in business efforts is
paramount in partnering together for your success. His objective is your satisfaction.
Working with Customers
Each customer has their unique needs. Michael starts with a free consultation talking
with the customer to understand their situation and initial objectives and concerns with
the technology, security need, or system they have in mind. Using past experience and
depending on what is learn from you, Michael may expand the discussion more broadly
to help you, the customer, consider approaches they may not have considered. If
Technivise can help further, Michael will then sit down with our customer to gather more
information to advise on a recommended approach best for their needs. This may
include other service providers, efforts from Technivise, and training so the customer can
be self-sufficient. If the customer needs help implementing their chosen approach,
Technivise is there to assist as needed.
Internet, Website, Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Michael started developing websites in the early 1990s and has branded and marketed
large programs with specific intent to reach different target audiences. He regularly
researches and applies these technologies in an ever-changing environment. These skills
have come to span multiple Internet technologies, Websites, WordPress, Online
Marketing, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Placement (SEP), and Social
Media Marketing (SMM). His abilities in website development are in small to medium
sized sites with simple to moderate complexity including graphics development, logo and
branding, email, scheduling, and other business operations functions. His broader
perspective on technology helps make sure such services work well for your business. He
may with others on complex websites that may need custom and complex Content
Management Systems (CMS), databases, or where eCommerse systems are involved.
Where high-end graphic elements are critical, he teams with artists and graphic designers
to develop and integrated branding strategy.
Policies & Approach
If you like to know about policies and approach, take a look here! They may be useful for
understanding, discussing your efforts. These policies embody the values through which
Technivise seeks to operate.
Technivise provides services across a variety of disciplines, so there may be specifics to
each area we have to explain. If you have questions about any of these policies, please
contact Technivise.
Payment
Technivise accepts cash, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Discover, and
American Express), and PayPal. Checks are accepted from local and established
customers.
Payment terms will be negotiated with you. Payment for substantial efforts and those
with new customers will take place incrementally in advance. Small efforts are typically
payment due upon delivery. Terms for deferred payments are also available in some
cases.
Trust and Satisfaction
Your trust and satisfaction is our primary objective. We strive for clear and frequent
interactions to avoid miscommunication. We let you know exactly what can and cannot
be done and the risk associated with each activity.
Much of the work that Technivise provides has a complexity customers do not want to
know about -- that’s why you hire Technivise. That doesn’t mean you can’t measure and
see results. Ask about how you will know you’re getting results and a good value.
If someone else can serve you significantly better, or it’s better that a broader team
provide your services, we’ll tell you.
If you really want to know or learn the details of our efforts, we’ll tell you, especially if
you will be maintaining results yourself into the future.
Owning Your Results
With Technivise, you’ll own your own results so that, if you choose, you can later “do it
yourself” or use other providers best for you. We won’t hold you hostage. We’ll provide
the files, passwords, and whatever else is associated with your project and brand with the
exception of Technivise-owned systems such as when we host your website.
Technology Magic
We love it when customers think we perform magic; that usually means we’re doing a
great job. Unfortunately, we often see “real magic” promised by scams and disreputable
providers. Technivise won’t do that.
Internet Presence: We strive to provide amazing results, but we do not promise magical
results as you’ll see in many Internet scams or hype. For instance, we do not promise
instant page-1 search results from a website because that is magical. However, in a
reasonable time we can get you on page-1 or well seen on social media where it matters --
for your customers where you’re relevant. Some business sectors are more competitive
than others. If you want instant, there are always methods to make it happen quickly,
such as pay-per-click advertising. Technivise won’t recommend something you don’t
need. We’ll lay out options for you to choose or listen to your options.
Audio/Video Restoration and Enhancement: We can often substantially improve audio
quality for better understanding and transcription quality. In some cases, audio is
distorted in a way that cannot be improved and is not recoverable. We can let you know
when that is the case. We can also help you understand how to better capture quality
audio.
Technology Consulting: We will try to understand your need, do it for you, hold your
hand while you do it, or teach you how to do it. This category includes setting up
computers, network, email, security systems, installing software and hardware, and using
programs like Microsoft Office.
Sometimes it’s hard to learn technology (and it may not be worth it), so we cannot
promise we can teach you everything and in a certain time period. We’ll provide our best
recommendation and options for you to consider. Sometimes technology does not work
because of incompatibilities or other complexities. We’ll let you know if that’s an issue.
Cyber and Physical Security: Amazing improvements are often possible with small
changes to reduce the risk of loss from cyber and physical attack on your business.
Impervious results will be high-cost and are relatively impossible. Practical systems
approaches at reasonable cost substantially reduce risk and allow recovery if something
does go wrong.
Guaranty / Warranty
Technivise wants to delight you as a customer! In any complex task, sometimes
misunderstandings can occur. Communication quickly solves such issues.
Our guarantee is that in the end you’ll be more than satisfied with the value you receive
from Technivise. Because technology is complex and some aspects of it are subjective, we
may have to adjust along the way. Technivise quite often goes the extra mile to make
things work without charging extra fees, so refunds are automatically included in what
we do.

Went the extra mile
Mike at Technivise went the extra mile for my business! I wanted a website and
had no idea what to do. A business owner friend I know referred me to Technivise.
Mike did more than create a professional-looking website for me at Back Breakers
Landscaping. He helped me every step of the way in explaining and helping me
understand steps I needed to take. Branding, creating better logos, content, Search
Engine Optimization, social media. He offered me options that made this possible on
a strict budget. I will refer others to Technivise. Orlando G. - June 2017
Exceptional
Michael Skroch is exceptional!! I enjoyed working with Mike; he is very
professional and is passionate about the work he does. High quality work … I love
the website. I was also impressed with the time he took to get to know us as business
owners and offer suggestions on how to promote our business through the website.
Mike is very knowledgeable and I will continue to use his services. Take a peek at
the website Mike created: www.jlcproplumbing.com. I highly recommend Mike.

Professionalism, Fair, Worked together
After trying to do something by myself, in which I had no expertise, when I
approached Technivise, it was a rush-project from the first minute. Michael took on
my project with professionalism, and even grace. He worked with me expertly,
billed me fairly, and together we produced something uniquely mine, but also
technically perfect. Next time, instead of futzing around with technical aspects
completely outside my own wheelhouse, I'll go straight to Technivise. Moira A. -

Helped me see the whole picture
I started working with Michael at Technivise upon the recommendation of a
friend that runs a landscaping business like mine. Michael had done a website,
directory listings, and online marketing for him and made it bring in customers. I
am the best at concrete, hardscaping, and landscaping, but have no idea how the
Internet world works. Michael helped me see the whole picture, told me how to
avoid scams and save money. He gave me options to choose and explained each one.
On top of that he gives me ownership and access to everything and is reasonably
priced. He reworked my logo, recovered all my lost accounts, produced videos, and
is making a web design that works on desktop and mobile, and is getting me listed
on directories without monthly costs. He's an honest guy that has told me like it
really is. When I don't care or understand the technology, I just tell him to do what
makes sense. David G. - March 2017, see on BBB, Google Reviews
He is simply the best!
Mike is pure genius. He is fast, thorough and patient. He saved me so much time
and money on my project, I feel I could not have done it without him. Call him up.
He will get you where you want to be. Jim S. - 2016, see on Trustpilot
Mike is the best. I needed to create an online presence for my business. He knew
everything we needed and help me avoid countless pitfalls. If you need a guide to
see you through the wilderness of technology. He knows how to you where you need
to be. Seriously, he is the best. Give him a call and ask him how he can help you.

Trusted partner for my business
Technivise has provided a variety of technical support for my business, Samore
Law for years. I leave the technical detail to Michael at Technivise because as an
attorney, I focus on what I know. He listens to my objectives, provides a set of
suggestions which he describes and from which I choose to implement. Tasks I have
asked for included website choices, development of websites, having me rank on
Google searches, updating my website … managing that for me, selection of
computers and Internet services, development and maintenance of an Internet
presence and tracking of search rankings, as well as computer and cyber security
issues. Michael is quite responsive and is there when I need him and he has always
been trustworthy. John S. - Feb 2016, see this and other reviews on TrustPilot,
Facebook
Michael has provided me with excellent service and value through his affiliation
with Type-thing Services. He's helped me with my web presence including website,
hosting, front-office email, online directories and online marketing choices. He also
advises me on technology choices for my office. There are many people out there
soliciting me to provide Internet services, but many seem shady. Michael puts them
into context so I can understand and choose the approach that makes sense to me.
He then helps me execute on that plan. John S. - Feb 2016, see this and other
