Helping small businesses work smarter, not harder with AI, data & systems

About Me — Small Business Technology Adviser

I help  small businesses get more from their technology — their systems, their data, and AI.

stuart-aldebugh-suffolk

When people ask me what I do, I usually say "I move data and help sort systems." It's accurate — but it doesn't totally capture it. I act as a technology officer for small businesses.  Someone who looks across the whole picture: systems, data, processes, AI — and helps make it work.


I've spent over 25 years implementing, migrating and managing business systems — from large ERP platforms down to the CRM and finance tools that small teams depend on every day. 


Many technology problems in small businesses aren't always technology problems — they're data and process problems wearing a technology costume. Messy imports, missing backups, automations nobody understands, systems that don't talk to each other. I've seen every version of this, and I know how to fix it.


I'm based in coastal Suffolk and often found dinghy sailing from Slaughden  in my downtime, or out and about in our wonderful area!
