Choose the decision in front of you
Six ways TVC can help.
Start with one practical problem. TVC will help you understand the options, define what success looks like, and decide whether a focused engagement can create measurable value.
01
Hardware & AI infrastructure
Plan, source, deploy, manage, and refresh business systems and new AI-ready compute.
02Microsoft 365 AI readiness
Prepare permissions, data, Teams, and SharePoint before AI reaches sensitive business content.
03Secure AI workflow automation
Reduce manual work across email, documents, approvals, reporting, and business handoffs.
04Business Central QA
Turn critical business workflows into repeatable AI-assisted testing and clear evidence.
05Azure engineering & cost control
Find waste, retire risk, preserve recovery options, and align cloud resources with actual value.
06AI-assisted web content
Keep a business website accurate and useful without turning every change into a project.
Hardware lifecycle & AI infrastructure
Computer hardware is strategic again.
AI demand, rising component costs, privacy requirements, and new on-premises workloads have made hardware decisions consequential again. TVC connects the business case to lifecycle timing, specifications, sourcing, deployment, and support.
Common starting points
- Aging workstation, server, storage, or network fleet
- A major purchase that is difficult to compare
- Lifecycle standards, replacement timing, and budget planning
- Private, local, or hybrid AI infrastructure evaluation
Microsoft 365 AI readiness
Make business data useful to AI without making it available to everyone.
Copilot and other assistants inherit the reality of your permissions, sharing practices, Teams, SharePoint sites, and accumulated content. TVC helps clean up the environment, identify exposure, and create practical guardrails before rollout.
A focused review can cover
- SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive permissions
- External sharing and sensitive content exposure
- Information ownership and cleanup priorities
- Copilot rollout guardrails and pilot design
Secure AI workflow automation
Remove the repetitive work between people and systems.
TVC designs controlled AI assistants and automations around real workflows: triaging email, processing documents, assembling reports, routing approvals, finding information, and moving work between Microsoft 365 and established business applications.
What makes an automation useful
- A narrow job with an observable result
- Approved data sources and clear access controls
- Human review where judgment still matters
- Logs, exceptions, and an operating owner
AI-assisted Business Central QA
Test critical workflows before users do.
TVC turns important Business Central processes into repeatable testing: executing workflows, checking results, capturing screenshots and documents, and producing evidence an implementation team can act on.
A strong first use case
- A workflow the next release cannot afford to break
- Repeatable inputs and expected results
- Testing that is important but routinely squeezed
- A team that needs clearer defect evidence
Azure engineering & cost control
Know what is running, what it costs, and what still matters.
Cloud estates accumulate unused resources, old backups, oversized systems, and unclear dependencies. TVC combines AI-assisted inventory and analysis with senior Azure engineering to reduce spend without casually removing recovery options or business value.
Typical review areas
- Virtual machines, storage, backups, and network resources
- Monthly cost drivers and avoidable waste
- Retirement sequencing and recovery requirements
- Security posture and operating documentation
AI-assisted web content operations
Keep the website current without starting a project every time.
TVC combines AI-assisted drafting and implementation with version control and human approval. The result is a faster path from a plain-English business request to a reviewed, traceable website update.
Useful for
- New service pages and landing pages
- Routine copy, offer, and contact updates
- Technical and business content that needs review
- Small sites that need disciplined ongoing attention
A low-friction way to begin
Start narrow. Prove value. Expand deliberately.
The first meeting can happen in Teams. If the opportunity benefits from an on-site review, TVC serves the Greater Seattle area in person.
Practical pilot
Implement one bounded improvement with explicit success criteria and operating controls.
Operate and improve
Document the result, support what works, and expand only when the business case remains clear.
Best fit
Established businesses with real operating dependencies.
TVC is a strong fit when systems have history, data has accumulated, people depend on the technology every day, and the right answer must account for more than a product demonstration.
You need a senior partner who can connect the technology decision to cash flow, risk, customer service, and growth.
You need focused outside expertise that can work with internal teams, vendors, and established systems.
Your operation depends on Microsoft 365, Azure, Teams, SharePoint, Business Central, or related business applications.
You want a useful operating result, clear controls, and evidence of value instead of an open-ended AI experiment.
Focused technology review
Bring Mike one important decision.
Describe the system, workflow, infrastructure concern, or AI opportunity in front of you. Mike will help you determine whether TVC is a fit and what a useful first step would require.
