Migrating to Sustainable IT

Tech Guru developed an IT Strategy and enabled greater productivity for the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (MCEA) with better email, cloud file sharing and solid IT Computer support.

Since 1974, the MCEA has been protecting our water, air, land and people. MCEA works with government agencies, the Legislature, and the courts to set sound environmental policy, to ensure good laws are enacted, and to enforce the law when needed. Real environmental issues are complex and real environmental progress takes time. MCEA is in it for the long haul.
