About
Karl Rolfe
Information Technology and Services Consultant
I understand the ongoing frustration that comes with manually collecting, analysing, and reporting on business data.
Wasting time every month on repetitive data entry tasks? Then wasting more time searching for and correcting the errors that show up at the end? Feeling frustrated, knowing there really should be an easier way?
This is why I’ve been supporting local businesses for more than six years with efficient IT solutions and customised automated systems that help you streamline your daily processes, saving precious time and resources.
It all starts with what you and your team need – systems and processes that you can manage in-house or a fully-done-for-you service.
I’m here to find the solution that suits your organisation best.
What do you need help with?
Improving what you can achieve in the time you have each day by working to automate processes and systems from manual to digital.
Learning how to protect your brand and communications against cyber attacks and being more in control – including being smart with your passwords.
Getting skilled up on cost-effective software that can make a positive impact on your business and making the most of the client data you have.
My journey to IT Excellence
Over the years, the lure of technology and automation has always guided my career path.
Although my working life began in the 1980s as an industrial maintenance electrician, I soon pivoted my technical background into industrial electronics. And then again into industrial automation and exploring the use of personal computers in work.
At one point, I had the opportunity to use and teach technology in translation work. In this field, I saw the value of patience in training and assisting others in mastering concepts that would help them work more efficiently.
Today, as a freelance IT professional, I enjoy supporting SMEs with customised IT solutions across Tasmania’s North Coast.
