Macktez Founder and CEO Noah Landow appeared recently on the Growth Focus Podcast with Gary Lafferty. Their conversation focused on growing a small business on good relationships and referrals, as Macktez has done for (almost) 30 years, specific work that Noah and Macktez have done as technology consultants over that time, and the challenges and lessons learned that frame the context for Noah’s book, Tame the Tech Beast.
Connecting the dots at Little Island
The scope of Macktez’s work at Little Island grew the more we examined other vendors’ plans for this amazing new park off the west side of Manhattan. It became our job to untangle the different layers of the build-out, and then implement our own recommendations to help get the park ready on schedule.
Untangling spaghetti at MakerBot
Macktez was part of a 3-year project to clean up legacy IT infrastructure at MakerBot, working in several different roles to augment and train their own in-house IT team.
“I wish we’d had this conversation a year ago”
Noah’s conversation with Gary was a great way to introduce the fundamental themes of the book Noah is writing with Macktez COO Michael Horst, Tame the Tech Beast, which argues for a strategic approach to IT especially for organizations during periods of growth and dynamic change.
