1 Fixed-fee IT for your business.

2 Grassroot was founded in July 2009 as a true fixed-fee IT managed services provider. By offering fixed-fee support contracts, we allow our clients to properly budget for their IT services from year-to-year and avoid the costly unplanned charges that can be so damaging to a small to medium sized business. Grassroot also offers a number of advantages over other managed service providers that we are very proud of. We believe this makes us the leader in IT managed services. To learn more about the Grassroot Advantage, please visit our website at Fixed-fee IT for your business.

3 Our Philosophy Great Service Fair Pricing WE SHOULDN T HAVE A SKEWED RELATIONSHIP Grassroot Advantage WE RE PROUD OF WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER Our People - Our technicians are experienced IT professionals with years of industry experience. We have managed and maintained networks for all levels of government, SMB s, and fortune 500 companies. Our Contracts - All of our contracts have a 30-day out clause that can be exercised at any time and a 60-day guarantee. We do not believe in locking people into long term contracts. The concept of great service, fair pricing, and building a long-term trusting relationship with clients seemed like a simple concept. From our experience that concept did not exist in many markets. There is something skewed about a business relationship where the service provider needs the client to have problems in order to make money. This is the fundamental idea that started and continues to drive Grassroot Technologies today. Our Technology - We have a complete service offer including traditional IT services, cloud services, hardware and software sales etc. We have partnered with the best in the business to ensure our clients have access to the latest and greatest technology at all times. Our Business Model - At Grassroot our word is our commitment to you. We believe in doing business honestly and ethically with the highest commitment to integrity!

6 Web & Graphic Design Approach USABILITY, BEST PRACTICE, AND OPTIMIZATION Technology EXPANDABLE AND MAINTAINABLE Our team has years of experience ranging from graphic design to traditional coding to building web applications. We are solution-based meaning that we don t push one approach or proprietary software to be profitable. We listen, research, and propose the best solution for you. We design based on established rules of usability so that your message is easy to understand, hits the right emotional cords, and is accessible regardless of device. Our designs are responsive meaning that they dynamically adapt to different screen sizes and devices. We use the Internet s leading Content Management Systems (CMS), Wordpress and Drupal: they are used by MTV, CNN, Sony, and the White House. The advantage to these CMSs is that they are free, continually developed, infinitely expandable, and have an immense developer base. We do not force our clients to pay for and use a propriety CMS that can only be updated and expanded by us. Our apps include SSL encryption and user permissions to ensure that data is protected. We build web apps, like hospitality management, inventory tracking, POS, and investment analytics, that are accessible by multiple users on multiple platforms. They are a cost-effective solution to building your own applications. Pricing LOW OVERHEAD MEANS FAIR PRICING Because we offer diverse services, we are able to keep overhead costs low passing on the savings to our clients.
