Get Started
The IT industry is changing and the pace only quickens. Virtualization, scalable clouds, agile development, distributed systems and containerization are revolutionizing all aspects of information technologies. Organizations seeking value, reliability, scale and availability must nimbly embrace these changes or wither.
IT workers must also embrace these changes, learning new skills or find themselves obsolete. Management too must change their worldview if they are to facilitate a new organizational worldview. The successful leveraging of emerging technologies is rooted in an organization's embracing these new opportunities and digital transformations. The digital revolution is really about people.
Clouding can cut capital costs and improves performance by allowing for more efficient and dense use of computing resources, in an extremely reliable system. Nonetheless, careful analysis is required to implement a solution in line with your strategic business concerns.
The multiplicity of cloud offerings can present a confusing landscape in determining whether a new technology is a cost-effective choice for your organization. For almost 20 years, we've excelled in assisting smaller organizations and nonprofits with how to effectively leverage technology.

Anthro | Technology's consulting process embodies agile values. As cloud consultants we understand that we must build relationships with customers, users and team members as well as have the necessary experience designing and migrating applications to the cloud. As consultants we must stay up-to-date on the latest trends and issues - in order to facilitate the agile development of both the staff and applications.
Our consulting process isn't a grind. We access, recommend, facilitate learning, advise, implement, train, support --- and most importantly we listen. From our clients' perspective:
Attorney Barcelona, Spain
Moving to Barcelona meant shifting my attorney business. I had concerns about the security of my data and also needed assistance with the various regulatory issues. As a small business owner I don't have the time to select what might be appropriate for my business and wanted some pointers. Despite my resistance I've learned a lot about cloud computing and what it how it might allow my practice to grow.
Physician Seattle, WA
I had an emergency and needed immediate help. My domain, data and papers had been hijacked and obviously I need to recover everything immediately. I had no idea where to start and was extremely concerned that my professional reputation and digital presence was being held for ransom. Muraco was not only able to quickly recover all data, domains and my digital existence, but she also made sure I obtained the appropriate legal assistance, for which I am very grateful.
Sailor Long beach, CA
I needed an elegant solution for accessing my data worldwide. I also needed real time analytics for when we're racing. I just wanted the solution I could forget about and I was resistant to learning some new IT technology. As well, I was concerned not to be oversold. I was looking for a least cost soluton. Muraco helped me determine what my needs were and she found me a low-cost solution I think to a high tech problem. Now, I have my global solution and I am back on the water where I belong.
Filmmaker Seattle, WA
My storage needs outgrew my in-house capacity. Moving to the cloud overwhelmed me and I also didn't want to lose control over the films in storage. The cloud seemed to offer possibilities but staff was struggling with the concepts. I didn't know what the hybrid cloud was but I now use it and we find it is a perfect for what we can afford. I have room to grow too. I liked the approach of only taking what is useful. I appreciate Muraco's efforts to get my staff up to speed with the new technology.
IT Security Chelan, WA
I'm a cyber security specialist with experience working with public utiliites. My firm needed a video database to be made globally available and very redundant. For a variety of reasons we decided on the Azure platform but I didn't know where to begin. Muraco appropriately shook up my worldview and dramatically decreased my expenditures.
Produce Broker Seattle, WA
Quick, easy and painless! Just like I like it. The fact everything was completed within a week was phenomenal. The bilingual website looks good too! Perfunctory thanks for all your help!
Muraco Kyashna-tochá is a cultural anthropologist with a focus on digital or cyber anthropology. Anthropologists define culture as "shared ways of organizing reality" and the advent of the internet opened new ways to organize communities and organizational groups. For the first time in human history, the cyber age meant individuals could form communities solely based on like-minded-ness. One needn't even share the same language to form these digital communities - whether we're talking communities of tech workers or nascent democratic groups. Muraco believes that anthropological research can lead to more adaptive and improved technology from the human perspective. In the era of fake news and rising tech-induced inequality this authentic community-building might be exactly what our world needs.
Muraco is an award-winning educator with extensive teaching experience at all levels of adult education from high school to graduate school, both in the United State and abroad. Winner of the prestigious Excellence in Teaching Award at the University of Washington in 1992, she was the first UW instructor to require the use of email in a course. Her pedagogical focus has been on active learning strategies, student-centered approaches and problem-based project work, and she brings these theoretical understandings to every consulting session. Muraco believes this unique intersection of cloud systems architect, educator and anthropologist allows her an exceptional focus as a digital consultant. This is her "Education as a Service" (EaaS) perspective.
AnthroTechnology, under the guidance of Muraco Kyashna-tochá, MA, MCP, MCSA, has provided technology consulting services for almost twenty years. Additionally, Muraco is certified as a Cloud Solutions Architect in both the Azure and AWS platforms and is also a certified Azure Sysops and certified AWS Developer. She is versed in both Windows and Linux environments, and has Microsoft certifications in the mission-critical IT domain skills of Operating Systems, Networking and Security, Windows Server environments and Mobile Devices. Muraco has work experience as a systems administrator, cloud systems administrator, tech support staff and as a digital consultant.

As IT and cloud consultants we must stay up-to-date and current on the latest technological trends and issues. But we're not knowledge gate-keepers. In the era where many business are an application, it behooves business owners and their staff to be aware of shifting IT trends and new technology if one wants to be an industry leader. Developing an open mindset around emerging technologies can be a struggle for some organzations and yet this is a necessary first step in obtaining real business value from that technology.
