Jean Pickering’s Summary

The Tektite Group, LLC is a small consulting company that believes in empowering our clients. We have 2 lines of business; a web hosting service for home owner associations and IT consulting & coaching services for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

We partner with our clients to help them decide what they need. It is our firm belief that we need to work within our clients budget and time constraints. We can either provide a solution or work with our clients to enable them to manage the technology aspects of their business. Our preference is to "teach our clients to fish" rather than "giving them a fish", but often small businesses are busy running their business so they need someone to just do it for them.

Our web hosting service provides condominium, townhome and home owner associations with a prebuilt website which has features which allow the associations to manage the content on their website. Our website service provides a way for communities to control costs, increase revenue and build community.
