Welcome to Sprocket Labs, LLC

Sprocket Labs is an applied research and consulting organization, working to bring the latest innovations to clients and their products.

As computing technology has become more and more pervasive, many industries find it difficult to keep pace with happenings in technology. We offer clients expertise in analysis, planning, and implementation of complex systems - all in the context of the customer's industry. Previous customers have included organizations in information technology, systems and hardware development, networking, security, and finance.

Since information technology is often not the singular solution to organizational challenges, we review other key business areas such as marketing, sales, finance, and operations. Our goal is not necessarily to apply technology to fix a problem, but to offer creative solutions which may otherwise be overlooked.

Some past projects have included:

Analysis and implementation of automated network management systems for a major computer manufacturer
Custom technical training for a network tools company, a major systems manufacturer, and a consulting firm (all in Silicon Valley)
Design of internal systems for an early pen computing company in Silicon Valley
Systems review and implementation for a manufacturer of network storage solutions
Technology review of systems and networks for a startup company (later acquired by Microsoft)
Advisor to a gigabit network company on their industry leading product
Review of a major retail chain computing security strategy, in conjunction with a specialty security firm
Software engineering analysis of a Software as a Service product for an early stage venture

Our mission is best accomplished by being quick to respond to industry and client events. We are a small, dynamic company which often partners with other firms or specialists to design custom solutions to difficult problems. Our average length of client engagement is four weeks from initial meeting to delivery of product or solution.

In-person meetings on the U.S. west coast (Southern Alaska, Seattle to San Diego) can often be arranged in as little as 12 hours. We are available by video conference with minimal notice.

Marty Lyons, founder and principal, has over three decades experience implementing creative and profitable solutions for some of the top companies on the Internet.
