Chesley Consulting, formerly based in Atlanta Georgia, has incorporated under a new name in Petoskey, MI. This reboot of the company will be known as Common Angle."Common Angle will continue to provide services to a very devoted portfolio of clients," stated Desmond Moore, new owner and CEO of Common Angle. "The only change our clients will notice is where they send their invoices. All staff and services will stay the same."Within recent months, Chesley Consulting had merged with AlphaGeek Web Design.
"The Common Angle acquisition gives us the opportunity to offer new web technology and social media services," stated Marcie Wolf, Creative Director of the former AlphaGeek Web Design, "while continuing to provide the quality of service clients have come to expect.""We are all looking forward to a seamless transition for all of our IT and web clients", stated Moore, "as well as an opportunity to form lasting relationships with new partners."Common Angle will continue to provide services to current Chesley Consulting and AlphaGeek Web Design clients while aggressively expanding their focus on additional northern Michigan communities."The tech and web teams are extremely devoted to their work and they are excited about the changes ahead for our company," Moore said. "Everyone here is thrilled that all revenues generated by the company will now stay within the local community."When asked about the unique nature of the new business name, Moore replied, "The purpose of technology in business is to make processes more efficient and to provide useful information to decision makers. Tools are available to aid in communication between both employees and customers alike, and a business can get so dependent on their computer systems that they can no longer do business without them." The tech team at Common Angle understands that business owners and decision makers can feel like they are at odds with their technology, or even a slave to it, which can become counter-productive. "If a business feels like their technology is pulling them in several directions, we can help them tackle those issues from a ‘Common Angle’. Rather than working on your technology, we make your technology work for you," stated Moore.Common Angle provides outsourced IT support and managed service solutions, server and network services, and website development.
