Marcus Bing is an information technology expert in the Seattle, Washington area, and has worked in the computer industry for nearly 30 years. Since 2001 when he formed his own company, Monroe Data Solutions, Marcus has focused his consulting and technical services to the dental industry. He enjoys an excellent reputation in the industry for his humor, honesty and judgment, and is among the best at making technology understandable, and tolerable, for his clients. He “Tells It Like It Is” and coaches his clients on working in today’s far-less-than-perfect digital world.
Marcus graduated from Wittenburg University (Ohio) with a BA in Business and Economics. After school he worked for an international software development company where he watched computer technology evolve from mainframes to the variety of desktops/laptops/tablets/phones we know today.
Marcus provides pre-construction consulting for new or re-modeling offices, consults on hardware and software acquisition, and manages systems installation, integration services, system training and post installation maintenance services to dental and other small business clients.
