Join the Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce for a presentation on Cloud computing with Sven Mogelgaard of Byte Slaves. He will discuss the migration of computing to the “clouds” and what this means for your business.

Be prepared for networking opportunities before and after the program, so bring at least 50 business cards to share and literature to promote your business.

Byte Slaves Computing was born in February 2001 out of Mogelgaard’s frustration with the lack of technical support available to the average person. For those in the corporate world, there was always an IT department to call upon when things went wrong. Smaller companies had to rely on friends and family or untrained, indifferent sales and support people. It became obvious to Mogelgaard that a company with well-trained technicians who truly care about customer service was needed.

Since 2001 Byte Slaves has stepped into the role of providing technical support for both individuals and small businesses. Byte Slaves has helped more than 1,000 customers resolve technology issues quickly. The company strives to provide clients with the most effective and efficient solutions to the issues faced in today’s technology arena.

Since founding Byte Slaves Computing in 2001, Mogelgaard has been actively involved in promoting small businesses through participation in local chambers of commerce as well as networking groups and volunteer organizations. He currently sits on the board of directors for the Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce, Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce and the Mukilteo Chamber of Commerce.

Mogelgaard has been a technology columnist for the Snohomish County Business Journal since 2006. He enjoys networking, both in person and online. For the last few years he has been an announcer for the Stanwood-Camano Festival parade.

In his spare time, Mogelgaard speaks to groups of all sizes and looks forward to hosting seminars and workshops geared towards helping small businesses use technology and the Internet to succeed. His Facebook seminars at the Marysville Tulalip “Brown Bag” lunch series have been extremely popular.
