What People Are Saying
Trusted with the technology you depend on.
“Rick is one of those guys that you would hire over again. I hired Rick as a Storage Engineer after working with him as part of the Starz broadcast engineering team. Rick was able to manage multiple projects and handle outages and support calls without showing any signs of stress or being overwhelmed. Rick was always great to talk with and brought a positive attitude to work every day. Rick would be an asset to any team and I would hire him again.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Enterprise engagement questions
Does CTS work alongside our internal IT team?
Yes. Enterprise engagements are built around partnership with your internal staff. We can lead a project, augment your team for a defined scope, or provide senior escalation support for difficult infrastructure problems.
Are these services fixed-price or quoted?
Enterprise infrastructure work is custom-scoped after a short intake. Each engagement is sized to the platforms, environment, and outcomes involved, and you approve the quote before substantial work begins.
Can CTS support environments beyond the technologies listed here?
The technologies listed reflect Rick Madlom's direct experience. Each engagement focuses on the platforms and work CTS is prepared to support — we'll be honest if a need falls outside that scope.
Do you offer ongoing support or only project work?
Both. We can provide senior engineering support for a specific project, short-term staff augmentation, or ongoing escalation assistance for internal teams that want experienced backup.
