Enterprise options for any budget
No matter what business you are in, technology will play a part. Goods, services, and any combination of the two require a tech component from the very start.
As your business grows and expands, understanding the benefits and risks of more tech will help you make informed decisions instead of hoping for the best. And potentially dealing with the fallout of bad actors.
Being a small to medium business or nonprofit doesn’t preclude you from the risks, and it shouldn’t stop you from using it to your advantage.
There are options. There are risks. Be informed. Make decisions that make sense for where you are and where you are going.
Meet Me:
Eric E Johnson
Tennessee born and raised. Hence the name, Tenn. Cent.
After a few years working for larger companies like AO Smith WPC and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, I found my place in Nashville’s scrappy startup scene and volunteer community (Nashville Class 56). Working with a boutique software company that went all in on iOS, I was active in a burgeoning tech community while leading teams delivering cutting edge mobile platforms including the first HIPAA compliant messaging app for hospitals and one of the first pay-at-the-pump phone apps.
I helped run GiveCamps and Geek Socials. Through the (now Greater) Nashville Technology Council, I interned with the Board of Directors, taught high schoolers how to build an app, guided TN Tech Computer Science students in multiple capstone projects, connected graduates with jobs, and was nominated for 2013 Volunteer of the Year. I even had my Part 107 from the FAA flying drones commercially before it was cool. All the photos on this site taken by yours truly.
Salida, Colorado resident since October 2021. I was just another trashplant remote worker in fintech and helathcare until the summer of 2025. That was when I decided to get more involved in the community. My Summer of Service included maintaining and building trails with Salida Mountain Trails and serving on the advisory board for Synergy in the Service Industry.
I am currently working from The Lobby and growing my network in Central Colorado’s startup community that very much reminds me of Nashville fifteen years. Talented people determined to diversify the state’s economy and earn their spot on the map of innovators and and trend setters.
Let’s build things that matter.
