About BZTech Solutions

I'm Dave Schlottman, principal consultant and owner of BZTech Solutions, Inc. For more than 29 years I've helped organizations — from Fortune 500 manufacturers to state government agencies — replace manual processes with dependable, well-architected software.

A Long Track Record

Long client relationships, built on delivering and sticking around to support what I build.

1994 – 2000 · Virtual Information Systems, Senior Consultant

Workflow integration and custom desktop applications for clients including the North Dakota Legislative Council, Northwestern Public Utilities, and LeFebvre Companies.

2000 – 2009 · Oracular of MN, LLC, Senior Consultant

Enterprise projects for 3M, Kawasaki Motor Manufacturing, and MSI Insurance, plus a nine-year engagement building and supporting the North Dakota Legislative Council's document management system.

2010 – Present · BZTech Solutions, Inc., Principal Consultant & Owner

Incorporated BZTech Solutions in 2011. Ongoing work for 3M and Fiduciary Counselling Inc., architecting enterprise workflow systems and mentoring development teams.

Before software, I spent nine years teaching elementary school. That background still shapes how I work today — translating complex technical problems into plain language and mentoring the developers and system administrators I work alongside. It's also where BZTech got its name: the first initials of our six children.
