him on several other projects in the
near future."
Michael J. Campese, Principal of
Lanyard Technical Services, LLC, has recently worked on several computer
problems at the Cazenovia Community Resource Center & Library. He has
provided exceptional services while resolving wide-ranging software and
hardware issues on several library computers. More specifically, he is
extremely dedicated, flexible, thorough, and detail oriented.
Due to his planning and
organizational skills, we now have our IT data documented and stored in a
central location. Our Internet site has been updated and is more accessible
to all. In addition, all of our computers are loaded with free e-readers,
which are valuable resources for our patrons.
We trust the advice

“…
I can finally say I’m completely comfortable with our IT guy.”
“Mike is
“Johnny-on-the-spot” with service, reasonably priced, knows his stuff and
most of all he’s not a gouger. After 15 years of IT ups and downs I can
finally say I’m completely comfortable with our IT guy.”

"I highly recommend Michael
for his professional demeanor, technical expertise, and personal
integrity.”
“When Michael was IT Manager for a regional telecom
company, he hired my firm to complete an infrastructure project as part of
his overall vision to improve the company’s core network. With Michael’s
technical skill set, he could have done the work himself, but he wisely
chose to outsource the project and oversee the process so he could focus his
attention on several other areas during a rather busy period in his
department.
I really enjoyed working with Michael throughout the project; the project
itself was somewhat complex and challenging, but Michael had many years of
prior experience with this type of work and was familiar with the potential
issues. As a technical consultant, it’s always nice to work with someone
that understands the project scope and its potential roadblocks and
pitfalls. As such, Michael was always available to provide additional
information about the network layout and lend his expertise as we worked
together to a successful conclusion.
Since then we’ve stayed in touch professionally and now he is running a
company devoted to helping other companies manage their technologies. We’ve
had several productive conversations over the past few years about how best
to work with clients and provide the best level of service possible. I
highly recommend Michael for his professional demeanor, technical expertise,
and personal integrity.”

"...I
can trust his guidance for my business computer needs..."
"I met Michael
Campese shortly after his return to the Buffalo, New York area. His
business computer knowledge (such as security, large file transfers,
networking and PC operating effectiveness) impressed me. During tax
season, I had a computer issue that halted my ability to safely use my
PC. Michael recognized the urgency of my situation and was able to
immediately correct the problem. A computer repair that I expected to
take the rest of the day only cost me a few minutes.
Michael promptly
responds to e-mails or phone calls. I know I can trust his guidance for my
business computer needs and rest assured that I have the technical support
to continue operating my business when the bumps come."
