Origins...
Daniel Ollar founded Ollar Consulting in June, 1991. Three years later, in 1994, the firm incorporated under the name Ollar Consulting, Ltd. to better suit the continuous growth of both client base and staff.

Originally located at 403 E. State St., the company moved to the historic Hannah-Lay building on the corner of Union and Front Streets, where operations were based until October, 2000. At that time, Ollar Consulting, Ltd. moved to its present home at 805 W. Front St - a beautifully renovated building, home to 4 other companies.

Goal & Philosophy...
Our goal as a professional firm is to help clients be successful through the effective use of technology. To support this goal, Ollar Consulting, Ltd. is directed by a philosophy of independence, the core attribute that sets us apart from the competition and defines Ollar Consulting, Ltd., as a premium consulting firm.

The firm maintains its independence throughout software and hardware selection. Because Ollar Consulting, Ltd. does not sell network hardware or network software, we feel that this allows us to design and support systems without the bias that comes with reselling hardware and software. By not being driven by margins or quotas, our sole concern is developing systems that meet our clients' needs.

Although we do not sell hardware, we do select specific equipment and applications, request quotations from various vendors as appropriate, order components, and install those items purchased. This allows us to help our clients get components from multiple vendors based on price, availability, service, and support.

In addition to our philosophy of independence, Ollar Consulting's staff embody two additional core ideals: effective communication and commitment.

Effective Communication...
Effective communication is the core to any relationship, therefore, it is the heart of our staff's interaction with clients. Beginning with initial client meetings and carried through every conversation and site visit, the staff is committed to thoroughly explaining the task at hand, outlining proposed steps, and readily answering questions or listening to comments.

Communication between the staff is also a key value. We feel that no single staff member should "hoard" information, thereby resulting in inefficient client support. To enable information sharing, Ollar Consulting, Ltd.'s staff maintains detailed site notes for all aspects of client interaction. These documents ( click to view sample ) provide the basis for which staff can easily assist each other in their client responsibilities.

Commitment...
No matter how simple or complex the problem, large or small the client, Ollar Consulting, Ltd.'s staff is committed to providing the most professional, responsible, and thorough service to their clients. Through maintaining independence and utilizing effective communication skills, we provide a perspective found only in premium consulting firms.
