Honest Mac expertise since 1999
STAT Computer Services provides support, advice and hands-on help to businesses, and the people behind them, who rely on Apple technology.
Our story
STAT was founded in 1999, but it really started in 1982, when a 16-year-old Boyd Burkhardt took his first job shrink-wrapping Apple II and Commodore software. Four decades later, helping people get the most out of their computers is still what we do.
Most of our clients are in Arizona, but we also support clients in California, Massachusetts, New York, Mexico, Antigua and Switzerland.
Our goal is simple: help you make full use of your technology so it supports your goals, at work and at home. The best way we have found to do that is to listen carefully and give unbiased recommendations based on years of experience with Apple computers, networks, mobile devices and small businesses.
Our philosophy
We'll be the last call you ever have to make for Apple support. Sometimes that means joining your strategic planning. Sometimes it means running cable behind your walls or training your staff. Either way, if you are not happy, our job is not done.
Why we do not sell computers
We do not sell computers, peripherals or supplies, apart from networking equipment that would be hard for clients to buy directly. We have great relationships with vendors, but none of them include commissions, finder's fees or any other financial arrangement.
That means when we recommend a purchase, it is because you need it, not because we profit from it.
