He is a hard worker, and doesn't stop until he has produced the result he has promised to achieve." -- Allen Imbarrato, President, KiBiz Systems "I have worked with Michael on numerous occasions and have always found him to be an excellent vendor. His work is meticulous, throughly documented, and of an excellent quality.

Our whole custom database was created and maintained by Michael, no one knows Filemaker better!" -- Randy Bauer, Owner and Director, Bauer-Griffin, LLC "Michael's expertise in creating data bases with File Maker Pro has been invaluable.

Michael responds promptly, works quickly and maintains a high level of integrity in our dealings." -- Laren Bright, President, Laren Bright Words "I hired Michael to work on a number of FileMaker Pro projects at Disney and was extremely pleased not only with the end-product, but with Micheal's ability to translate the user's requirements into an application that not only meets the user's needs but exceeds them.

What is “Proactive Support”? Proactive means being ready for what's coming. It means you can respond quickly and decisively to advserse situations with a clear and concise plan-of-action. You don't panic, you take constructive action. Wizard Consulting Group, Inc. has partnered with Watchman Monitoring to provide you with hourly monitoring of your Macintosh computers (desktop and laptops). You can see if a hard-drive is having problems, your Time Machine backups are not happening, a computer is infected with some type of malware, or is having trouble connecting to your local network or to the Internet (to name a few of the issues that are monitored). When problems happen, we are emailed and can alert you of the problem. We can work as a team and take action to resolve the problem before it gets out of hand.
