About us

We at Analogy Consulting have over 20 years of technical experience and 'grew up' with computers and networking. We've seen networking and common operating systems grow from nothing to what they are today which gives us a very acute insight to their inner workings. We explain exactly what we're doing in terms YOU understand, not by babbling a bunch of techno jargon to make us sound more intelligent. Computers and networks were built on a simple concept and along the way became much more complicated but still have the same basic conceptual design. Once that is understood, we believe it can shed new light on everything you see - from TVs to tablets to cell phones. So many computers and networks anymore have become bloated. Computers come with a bunch of extra software you don't need and will never use (aptly called bloatware) and networks have so many extra pieces and parts attached to them anymore that are completely unnecessary. We remove all the bloat and extraneous pieces and parts to make your computer and network as simple and streamlined as possible which helps them run faster and last longer. Process automation is very important to making computers work FOR you. For example, instead of opening your video chat program to see your family and then digging through your contacts to open the one you're looking for and finally clicking dial, we can create a single link on your desktop (or wherever else you choose) that will do all that for you. A single click. We can also automate shortcuts to create emails, open webpages in certain browsers, and about anything else you can think of.

One of the few companies I have hired as a newcomer to FL that came thru on every detail I requested. Patrick makes me look good at providing documents to my customers.
Description of Work: I needed a printer and he did the research, ordered it for me and came back to install and set up to work w/ my computer- lots of steps!

I own a small construction company and we perform payroll on a biweekly basis using an online payroll system. Every time I tried to log in to our payroll system, I would get an error. I tried everything I could think of to get logged in and no success. By this time it was after 8 p.m. and I needed help. I called Analogy Consultants to see if they could assist me. I honestly did not think I would get in touch with anyone at such a late hour. Patrick answered the phone and was able to immediately diagnose and correct my issue. He actually was able to remote into my computer, changed some settings, and cleaned up my browser history. And like magic, I was able to log in! Patrick is simply amazing! He stayed online with me until all checks were cut to make sure I did not have any further issues. Because of him my workers were able to get paid the next day and everyone was very happy. Patrick is a very reliable, trustworthy person. I felt that my sensitive payroll information was 100% safe in his hands. I will definitely be calling him in the future for any of my technology needs.

I recently was up late working on my dreaded 1099's for 2019.. I got all information entered into my payroll system and my printer decided to quit on me. When I tried to print out a 1099, the printer would just spit out a blank form every time. I called Patrick at Analogy Consulting and after a bit of troubleshooting, he was able to patiently walk me through removing my print head and cleaning my ink screens. The ink had apparently clogged the screen because I hadn't used my printer in a long time. Thanks to Patrick, I was able to printer fixed and 1099's were submitted to the IRS on time. Thank you Patrick! You are the best. I recommend Patrick for all of your technology needs and woes. He does not disappoint.

I will use this company again and again. They are the best we have ever used in our 15 yrs of business. They are also the most educational for my needs. They explain everything in terms a layman can understand. If there were a higher grade than A in every aspect they deserve it.
Description of Work: In Dec 2014, they did an ATM reconfiguration. In Oct 2014, they did a Wireless Network Reconfiguration. In Aug 2014, they did automated back up scripts for software programs.

My system had locked up. Patrick was able to correct everything, remotely, in a matter of minutes. He gave me some hints on things to do and not do to prevent the problems ever recurring. He was like a human computer! Whenever I had a question or comment, he had the correct/appropriate answer before I could fully ask it. I offered to adopt him but he said he has a mother and she would do just fine. I would recommend this man for any computer issues!!!!!

Patrick is always prompt and courteous. He has always been thorough in his analysis and resolution. He has usually been able to turn our equipment around in a day or two. He has frequntly been able to resolve a problem simply by remoting in, which is awesome as I don't have to unhook and re-hook up all equipment. I highly recommend Patrick for any personal computing or networking issues you may have.
Description of Work: Patrick has been our "go to" computer expert for many years. He has helped set up new personal computers, cleaned viruses,, cleaned up hard drives to improve performance and helped rectify software incompatability.
