A strategic alliance was formed between these high-tech giants, which created the need for a comprehensive “go-to-market” strategy. The challenge was to position the CompaqBaan Solution as a key component of a company’s strategic planning process.
Once team buy-in was achieved, the CompaqBaan solution was positioned as the strategic and preferred information technology solution in the minds of their target customers.


Businesses have become increasingly reliant on technology and systems like email, database, and web services. As a result, the issues and problems with this technology can quickly become priority #1. When you need help solving a critical technology problem, consider Network Partners.
When needing help solving a marketing opportunity, Network Partners picked NextLevel Thinking. Network Partners needed help marketing several of their technology solutions through a very large third-party sales force. The answer to this often-complicated communication task was the creation of electronic brochures that clearly explained the value of these offerings.


SwiftLease was created to help businesses quickly find the perfect space, including small-office, short-term, and flexible lease options in the Greater Houston Area. The idea was to offer a quick, efficient solution to your office needs that fit the requirements of your growing business.

My absolute best days are when we’re able to help a client see their business differently. It’s usually at this point when things begin to take off and the effectiveness of what we can do for them begins to be realized both internally and externally in a very powerful way.

As a young fella, I probably wanted to be the usual things like a policeman, fireman, etc. But from high school on, I have always wanted to own my own business. In graduate school, my buddies were sure that I would make a living helping people/organizations see things from a different perspective. They were right!
Be prepared to deliver absolute excellence, while being part of a very caring, results-oriented, drama-free work environment.
There are a whole bunch of food categories that I wish had zero calories. If I had to pick one, it would definitely be tortilla chips with guacamole, chili con queso and/or salsa.
