Technology doesn't
fail at implementation.
It fails at adoption.

ETI was built around one truth: the gap between what gets built and what gets used is always a people problem. We close that gap — through strategy, change management, and hands-on implementation that doesn't stop at launch.

Shipped.
Adopted.
Measured.

Return to Office

In summer 2021, a major transportation authority needed a comprehensive return-to-office platform operational across all remote-employee sites within three months — all while managing concurrent construction projects, evolving health guidelines, and significant workforce resistance to returning.

Unified Communications Migration

A global university needed to migrate over 9,000 telephone numbers from Intrado and 8×8 to Microsoft Teams Phone — with strict carrier timelines, E911 compliance across 45 sites, and a scope that expanded mid-engagement when ETI discovered 12 losing carriers instead of the 2 initially identified.

Organizational Change Management

A President-sponsored 2025 technology initiative at an international university affected 7,000+ staff and faculty across domestic and global campuses. The implementation hit mid-engagement COVID shutdowns, had to navigate department heads who weren't yet aligned, and required seamless onboarding for 150 senior executives without any disruption to their daily work.

Joel Evans

Founder & Managing Partner

30 years. Two companies.
One way of working.

Joel Evans has spent three decades as the person in the room who can argue both sides — technical reality and executive strategy — and then go build the answer. He's an Amazon-recognized Alexa Champion, the founder of Geek.com and Cronk Software, and the architect of solutions used by thousands daily.

That's the foundation ETI was built on: deep technical fluency combined with the ability to communicate, translate, and implement at the executive level. It's uncommon. And it's why clients call ETI when the usual approach isn't working.
