Technology resources for rural businesses, built for real decisions
Each public guide explains the tradeoffs without hiding the answer. The matching workbook helps you document requirements, run consistent tests, compare full costs, and leave with a decision record.
Service businesses
Field service software: Jobber, Housecall Pro, or ServiceTitan?
Compare the daily workflow, rural field conditions, migration effort, and full cost before committing your crew.
Churches and nonprofits
Church streaming: StreamYard, Resi, or OBS Studio?
Choose around volunteers, signal flow, internet reliability, recovery, account ownership, and the budget leadership can support.
Farms and rural sites
Connecting farm buildings: wireless, fiber, cellular, or Starlink?
Define whether the building needs the farm network, independent internet, backup service, or a carefully designed combination.
Small businesses
Mini PCs for small business: value vs. business-class PCs
Compare value mini PCs, refurbished business systems, and new Dell, HP, or Lenovo-class computers by workload, warranty, recovery, and ownership cost.
