Tony Chiappetta, Believe in Yourself & Simplify Your Life (#201) - a podcast by Mike Malatesta

Tony Chiappetta is the CEO of Advanced Microcomputing Concepts (AMC) Modern IT, and his goal is to change the IT game to people-first instead of focused on fixing tech problems. He’s accomplished this over the last years by streamlining his firm and clients to run almost entirely on Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams. As a result, his clients – companies with 20 to 500 people – have been able to consolidate their IT demands into a single platform. To understand how Tony made it to this point, we have to take a step back in 2002.







Two years after graduating from the University of Southern California in 2000, Tony decided to leave the corporate world and become an entrepreneur. He had to face a lot of resistance from his father, who thought his son was taking the wrong business path. But Tony believed in himself and carried on. So, as every new business owner does, he started looking for clients, and it took him 1,000 cold-calls before landing his first client.







Revolutionizing IT with “Less is More”







At the start, Tony’s company, AMC Modern IT, was doing what every IT company does: fixing problems. Over the years, his team grew up to 24 employees in 2014, but things were not running smooth. On the contrary, they were constantly trying to plug tech holes, pull all-nighters, and solve an overwhelming amount of problems. That’s when Tony realized something had to change. What if instead of fixing problems he could prevent them from happening? That’s why he developed a 400-point process to systematically address every IT problem. By continuously reviewing the checklist, he discovered this was preventing 80% of the traditional IT issues. Without reactive issues to solve, he started dedicating his efforts to training his clients on using Microsoft products more effectively, resulting in saving 4 hours a week per employee.







And now here’s Tony Chiappetta.
