1. Cover Letter
Dear Mike Wilson and Shawn Middleton,
Rooted Software (Rooted) is a technology services company specializing in supporting the missions of small to mid-sized organizations headquartered in the United States. During their combined 40 years of experience in tech leadership, founders Toby Weiss and Josh Bechard found that their organizations were best served by those who shared a passion for their mission and an understanding of their needs. Rooted was launched to provide technical support, backed by this very passion and experience, to all organizations with the following three core values to sustain it:
Fidelity - In all things Rooted strives to be transparent and trustworthy. We act with integrity and follow through on commitments from our initial meeting to project/service delivery. Compassion - People first, technology second. Rooted comes alongside you with empathy for your team, passion for your mission, and humility in our approach. Intentionality - Rooted takes ownership of issues, is proactive in finding solutions, and will not cut corners on quality to drive quantity. Rooted Software is honored to currently provide Managed IT services in the support of many organizations of varying ages, scopes of influence, employee-count, tech stacks, infrastructures and needs, many of which are fully remote organizations. The technological needs of Amres Corporation are well within the capability of Rooted Software’s Service Desk team which consists of highly trained remote technicians working across numerous time zones following best practice availability, security protocols, and measures of consistency. The team of technicians is regularly praised by Rooted partners for a genuine support of their mission and for resolving technical issues in a prompt and professional yet personal manner. Testimonials can be found on our website at . Rooted Software is excited at the opportunity to provide the technology and technical human resources to support Amres Corporation in its mission of making the dream of home ownership achievable. Rooted understands that each machine thoughtfully configured and deployed for an individual at Amres translates directly to more customers acquiring homes at a great rate. While recognizing Amres is executing due diligence in comparing multiple options for machine provisioning, Rooted hopes that Amres sees our desire to form a long-term partnership that yields increased impact to Amres.
Sincerely,
Toby Weiss
CEO
