Services & Products

Advisory, AI engineering, custom software, and products — one accountable partner.

From CIO-level advice to working software, TIMIT covers the full path from AI strategy to something running in production. No junior consultants, no generic frameworks — Tim Montgomery stays personally involved from first conversation through results.

The TIMIT model

A small number of clients. Deep involvement in each.

Most consulting firms scale by adding headcount and reducing partner involvement. TIMIT works the opposite way. I deliberately work with a small number of clients because I believe in being personally accountable for every engagement.

That means you get Tim — not a team of analysts producing deliverables. Every strategy session, every technology decision, every critical milestone has direct involvement from someone who's seen it work across 13+ years and 8 industries.

For scale on larger projects, I bring in a tight network of trusted implementation partners I've worked with for years. I manage the relationship and the outcome. They handle the execution.

CIO/CTO Coaching & Mentoring

For companies $100M – $1B · Where Tim has or builds a direct relationship

Mid-market technology leaders operate in a uniquely difficult environment. You carry board-level accountability for technology outcomes, manage teams under constant pressure to modernize, and often have no peer inside the organization who truly understands what you're facing.

Tim works with CIOs and CTOs as a trusted peer advisor — not a vendor, not a coach with a framework, but someone who has navigated the same decisions across dozens of engagements and will tell you what he actually thinks.

What this engagement covers

  • Strategic technology roadmap development and prioritization
  • Technology investment decisions and vendor evaluation
  • AI strategy and readiness planning for your organization
  • Board and executive communication on technology initiatives
  • Technology team leadership and organizational design
  • Digital transformation planning and change management
  • Risk assessment and technology governance frameworks

How it works

  • Ongoing advisory relationship — regular cadence of sessions plus availability for critical decisions
  • Confidential, candid — a safe space to pressure-test decisions before they're made
  • No deliverables for the sake of deliverables — outcomes over outputs
  • Engagements begin with a discovery conversation to confirm fit

Is this the right engagement for you?

CIO/CTO Coaching works best when there's a direct relationship with Tim and a genuine need for a peer-level technology advisor. Let's have a 30-minute conversation to find out.

AI Engineering · Governance

AI Engineering Operating Model

For companies with in-house or outsourced software teams

Your developers are already using AI. Is anyone governing how? Left alone, AI-assisted development turns inconsistent, undocumented, and hard to scale. TIMIT helps you build the operating model that makes it repeatable — led from the business side, with a specialized AI engineering partner on the technical build.

Standards, not heroics

Shared coding standards, review practices, and documentation, so AI-assisted work looks the same no matter who is prompting.

A harness, not a pile of prompts

Reusable agents, skills, and orchestration that capture how your best engineers work and put it in everyone's hands.

Governance the business can see

Security guardrails, cost controls, and clear ownership, so leadership knows what AI is building and what it costs.

Custom Apps · Integrations

Custom Apps & Integrations

For companies whose software doesn't fit — or doesn't talk to each other

Some problems aren't solved by another license. TIMIT designs and delivers custom applications and system integrations — with AI built in where it earns its place — for mid-market teams that need software shaped around how they actually work.

Tim leads scoping, vendor decisions, and delivery oversight. Build capacity comes from the same trusted engineering partners behind our larger engagements, so you get one accountable point of contact and execution that scales.

Custom applications

  • AI-powered workflow and scheduling apps
  • Operator dashboards and reporting tools
  • Internal tools that replace spreadsheets and email chains
  • Mobile-friendly web apps and progressive web apps
  • Working prototypes that prove an idea before you fund the full build

Integrations & automation

  • CRM-to-ERP connections, such as Salesforce to accounting and job-costing systems
  • Legacy system connectors and API middleware
  • Eliminating manual re-keying between systems
  • Diagnosing sync failures across network, server, and code layers
  • Documentation and hand-off so your team can own what we build

Questions about working with TIMIT.

Straight answers on what TIMIT does, who it's for, and where to start.

What does TIMIT Solutions do?
TIMIT Solutions is an AI consulting and technology advisory firm in Glens Falls, NY, founded by Tim Montgomery. It works with mid-market companies, from about $10M to $1B in revenue, across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and technology. Its offerings are CIO/CTO coaching, AI readiness and deployment, an AI engineering operating model, custom apps and integrations, website privacy compliance audits, and its own products, starting with TickDetect.
Does TIMIT build custom software and integrations?
Yes.

Tim leads scoping, vendor decisions, and delivery oversight, while trusted engineering partners provide build capacity, so clients have one accountable point of contact.
What is the difference between AI readiness and AI engineering?
AI readiness is for businesses deciding where and how to adopt AI: it assesses process, data, people, and technology, then leads deployment through to live implementation. The AI Engineering Operating Model is for companies whose software teams already use AI. It builds the standards, reusable agents, security guardrails, and cost controls that make AI-assisted development consistent, documented, and governed.
Who is Tim Montgomery?
Tim Montgomery is the founder of TIMIT Solutions. He rose from computer operations to division CIO at GE, served as division CIO at Stanley, and then led Cigna's global sourcing initiative before leading global IT services businesses. He holds a BSCS from Union College and an Executive MBA from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and he is personally involved in every TIMIT engagement.
Will I work with Tim or with a junior team?
You work with Tim. TIMIT deliberately takes on a small number of clients so he can stay personally accountable for each engagement. On larger projects, he brings in a tight network of trusted implementation partners for execution capacity while he manages the client relationship and the outcome.
Where should I start if I'm not sure what I need?
Start with the free TIMIT AI Assessment, a 10-minute review that identifies your top three AI opportunities and tells you where to begin. If you would rather talk it through, book a 30-minute conversation with Tim to see which engagement, if any, is the right fit.
What is TickDetect?
TickDetect is a free AI-powered tick and bullseye-rash scanner built by TIMIT in Glens Falls, NY. You photograph a tick or a rash on a person or a pet, and AI vision identifies the tick species, attachment status, and rash patterns in seconds. It runs in a web browser, scan images are never stored on TIMIT's servers, and it is free during public beta. It is a screening aid, not a diagnostic device.
What is a website privacy compliance audit?
TIMIT's Privacy Compliance Audit is a plain-English, functionally tested review of where a website stands under CCPA/CPRA, state privacy laws, and optionally GDPR. It tests cookie consent and opt-out behavior, inspects data-collection points, and independently re-verifies every fix. It is a diagnostic for the client's legal counsel, not legal advice or a certification of compliance.
