IT Strategy, Tactics, and Operations
Information Technology
Our technology consulting services are focused on helping organizations manage, secure, and share their internal information, data, and knowledge. At FireOak, we approach information technology from a knowledge management perspective — in other words, we believe the role of technology should be to help manage your valuable information, data, and knowledge. Technology should enable business processes, rather than drive business decisions.
We’re not a value-added reseller (VAR), and we’re not tied to any specific platform or vendor. We’re platform agnostic and have extensive experience with all of today’s major platforms, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, WordPress, Salesforce, and many others.

Information & Data Governance
Is it time for a review of your existing information and data governance model, policies, procedures, and guidelines? Does your existing framework align with current business needs, today’s tech stack, and your existing staffing model?
