Hello, my name is Tom Puls, and I'm an Apple Certified System Administrator and mobility specialist. My company, Out of the Box IT, specializes in helping individuals, businesses and organizations leverage their Apple technology. From OS X servers to Mac clients to iPhones and iPads, I can help you to get the maximum benefit from your hardware, software and network. When your technology is operati

ng at its fullest potential, you and your employees are freed to do their work efficiently, quickly and accurately. I can assist you from the planning to the deployment of your hardware and software. Apple is growing in marketshare, their products are more attractive than ever to business users, and with "Bring Your Own Device" programs implemented by many organizations, the ability to integrate and manage Apple devices is essential. Out of the Box IT can help you to integrate Apple products into your network or even transition to an entirely Apple environment. If you're not sure where to start, or even if you think you have a pretty good handle on your technology, give me a call or send me an email, and I'll be happy to discuss how my services may be of use to you.
