Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before we scope anything.

Do you work with small and mid-size businesses?

Yes. Shasta Technology Systems is structured for operationally serious businesses that need practical technology leadership without building an enterprise internal team.

Can we start with an audit before implementation?

Yes. Many engagements begin with a focused systems and process audit that identifies cost, risk, and sequencing before development work starts.

Who leads engagements?

Matt Armstrong leads strategy and software systems work. Todd Twining leads web presence and marketing infrastructure work.

What kinds of services do you actually provide?

Shasta Technology Systems provides technical advisory, fractional CTO support, software development, web and app development, business process automation, systems integration, and operational software planning for businesses that need clearer execution.

Can you help if our systems are spread across too many tools?

Yes. A common engagement starts with disconnected tools, manual handoffs, or duplicated work across operations, finance, customer management, and reporting. We help simplify those workflows and design a cleaner system backbone.

Do you build customer-facing websites and applications, or only internal systems?

Both. Engagements can include customer-facing websites, portals, e-commerce platforms, and app experiences, as well as internal dashboards, automation systems, admin workflows, and operational reporting tools.

Do you take on regulated or higher-risk software projects?

Yes, when the scope is a fit. That includes software and workflow design for healthcare, financial operations, compliance-sensitive processes, and other environments where privacy, approvals, auditability, or operational safeguards matter.

Can we bring you in just for strategy without committing to a full build?

Yes. Some clients need a second opinion, technical representation, or short-term leadership before they decide whether to rebuild, integrate, automate, or expand existing systems. Advisory-only work is a normal starting point.

What if we are not sure whether we need automation, a web rebuild, or custom software?

That is exactly the kind of ambiguity these engagements are built for. We start by looking at the actual business constraint, then determine whether the right next step is process cleanup, automation, a web or app build, or a broader software initiative.
