// Approach
Technology that fits the whole business.
Most problems aren’t solved by one more tool. We look at how your people, data, and systems work together before we write a line of code, then stay to keep it all running.
- 01
Assess
We learn how your business runs today: the people, processes, and systems, and where time and money leak out.
- 02
Architect
We design a practical plan that fits your budget, with clear priorities, honest tradeoffs, and no lock-in you didn’t choose.
- 03
Build
We ship in small, working increments so you see progress early and can change course before it gets expensive.
- 04
Operate
We stay on to monitor, maintain, and improve, and we train your team so they own what we build.

// FAQ
Questions we hear a lot
What does Schoodic do?
Schoodic is a technology consultancy in Washington County, Maine. We help businesses, nonprofits, and towns put AI, data and machine learning, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and workflow automation to work, and we build custom software and websites. We handle everything from planning to ongoing support.
Do you only work with businesses in Washington County?
No. We’re based in Washington County and love meeting clients in person across Down East Maine, including Calais, Eastport, Machias, and Lubec, but we work with organizations throughout Maine and beyond remotely.
Can you help us figure out where AI fits in our business?
Yes, and that’s usually the best place to start. We look at where your team spends its time, identify the tasks AI handles well, and recommend a small pilot so you can see real results before investing further.
What size organizations do you work with?
Mostly small and mid-sized businesses, nonprofits, and municipalities, from owner-operated shops to organizations with a few hundred people. If you don’t have an IT department, we can act as yours.
How does a project get started?
It starts with a conversation about what’s slowing you down. From there we put together a short written plan with priorities and an estimate, and most projects begin with a small first phase so you can judge the results.
Do you provide support after a project launches?
Yes. We offer ongoing support, monitoring, and managed hosting, so the people who built your systems are the ones keeping them running.
