Your SharePoint Problem, My Full Attention

This isn't a faceless agency or a vendor trying to sell you more licenses. I'm Scott Zimpfer. I've spent 20+ years solving SharePoint problems for organizations ranging from aerospace and defense contractors to regional banks to medical device manufacturers.

I've supported environments with 16,000 users across 10 countries, managed compliance for export-controlled aerospace and defense data, and built systems for FDA-regulated medical devices. But I also understand that most businesses don't need enterprise complexity.

Before I was a technologist, I was a professor. I taught communication and technology at Canisius College and UB for over a decade. That background is why I can explain complex technology in terms that actually make sense.

No forced cloud migrations. No Copilot upsells. No enterprise complexity for teams that don't need it.
