BFC Computing  provides consulting on open source software, internet architectures, digital security, and network infrastructure as well as providing software development services, system administration, on-call and as-needed support services and dynamic website development.

Besides the technical bits, we’re really focused on solving business problems.  We focus on understanding the business problem, developing a solution, and ensuring that the solution meets the needs

We work independently, as subcontractors, as a general contractor, at the direction of internal IT staff, or in a Rent-A-CIO functionality.  We can manage a project from requirements to delivery, or just focus on a small part.  We’re even available to help with assessments, testing, and second opinions when projects may need to be set back on track.

Price List

We’re fully committed to open methodologies at BFC Computing, and just as we expect our open source products to be fully transparent, we should do the same.  They say it’s a “sales no-no” to tell your customers your prices up front, but in our case, we believe we’ve earned a reputation for quality, honesty, and efficiency and that we’re better off being forthright.  We’ve also compared our prices to the industry, and have seen that we’re quite competitive, even discounting the efficiency of our services.

In this difficult economic environment, we’re committed to helping our partners and have kept prices at the same level since 2007 (some since 2004), despite the increases in costs that everybody has had to bear.  We’ll continue to do so for as long as we can.
