Small Business I.T. Setup and Management
Scenario
You are a modest-sized but progressive church. You need a networked computer setup that will handle email and a web site, manage the membership database, allow sharing files among staff and volunteers, and allow preparing PowerPoint slides used in the weekly service. The secretary needs to see who is entering the building through a remote door. The phone system also needs to be replaced.

Quote
After reviewing options from two other service providers, the Trustees decided to engage Mark’s company, MCB Systems, to continue its comprehensive maintenance of our technology infrastructure. Our decision was based on Mark’s trustworthiness, thoroughness, reliability, responsiveness, and high level of competence. It is a tremendous help to me in my pastoral work to know that all … systems will always be “go,” ready and waiting when I need them. I encourage you to give Mr. Berry every consideration as you explore the ways technology can support and enhance your ministry.
