Why PrenticeWorx?

Microsoft expertise is part of the equation.
The people behind it make the difference.

Real-world expertise.

Work directly with experienced consultants who understand both Microsoft technology and the business processes behind it. That experience changes the questions we ask and the solutions we recommend.

Built around your business.

We start with your operations, challenges, goals, and existing processes before recommending technology. The system should support the way your business needs to work—not the other way around.

Direct access.

The people who listen, ask questions, and understand your requirements stay involved in the work. Fewer layers mean less gets lost between discovery, decisions, and delivery.

Challenge assumptions.
Solve the right problem.

Complex projects rarely fit neatly into a standard answer. We ask harder questions, examine the processes and data behind the issue, and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for the business.

A partner that stays involved.

Go-live is not the end of the relationship. We can stay engaged to support, optimize, and evolve your Microsoft environment as your business changes.

Expertise backed by Microsoft.

As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, PrenticeWorx has demonstrated technical capabilities and customer success within the Microsoft ecosystem. We combine that expertise with a practical, personal approach to help you make better technology decisions.

Our Story

Built on relationships. Driven by results.

Founded in 2014 by Ken and Nick Auton, PrenticeWorx was built around a straightforward idea: technology should work for the business, not the other way around. That means listening first, understanding how organizations actually operate, and building solutions around their real needs.

As PrenticeWorx has grown, that principle has stayed the same. The focus remains on putting experienced people at the table, building long-term customer relationships, and using Microsoft technology to help organizations make meaningful business progress.
