Why most businesses reach out

Which one sounds like you?

If one of these feels familiar, we'd like to talk. Want to know if we are a good fit for you? Let's find out.

01

"Our IT is reactive, not proactive."

Tickets pile up. Patches lag. Backups maybe ran last week. You're paying for IT but flying blind on whether it's working.

02

"We can't tell what we're actually paying for."

Vendor invoices stack up (antivirus, backup, email security) and nobody can map them to outcomes. Is the spend actually protecting anything?

03

"We're a target now and don't know where to start."

Phishing emails make it through. Employees click links they shouldn't. The same password gets reused everywhere. You know you're exposed, you just don't know what to fix first.

04

"Our IT person retired / left / was a contractor."

Documentation walked out the door. Nobody knows the firewall password. The server in the closet has an unfamiliar light blinking.

05

"We need AI but don't know where to start."

You've heard "AI changes everything" enough times. You want to use it, but you also don't want to be sold something that doesn't fit your business.

06

"Our team is spending too much time on the same tasks."

Manual data entry, weekly reports, repetitive emails. The kind of work that quietly eats hours and never gets a priority.

    Detailed notes on all support

IT, in plain English

Don't know where to begin?

If you had enough time to learn all the tech lingo you probably wouldn't be looking at I.T. companies. We make it a point to cut out the tech jargon so your decisions are clearly informed. If you're in the search for an IT company here are some terms you'll hear thrown around.

Managed Services
Usually presented as a "suite of services" to protect your business. This should be a standard offering for any decent IT group. However, these services are often sold to the IT provider as a bundled package which can come with its own problems. A good IT provider should be proud of the products they choose. We don't list specific products on this site because we maintain primary, alternate, and contingent solutions for every service we provide. We always match the right solution to the right situation. Ask us in conversation and we'll happily walk through what we use and why.
Cloud
Systems and services that can be accessed over the internet without a dedicated spot in your office for hardware. In short, it means off-site.
Disaster Recovery (DR)
Beware! this is not the same as backups. You'd be surprised how many "IT" experts don't know the difference. Think of backups like a generator for when the power goes out at your home. Think of DR like a 2nd home in another state. It will cost more, but you have somewhere to go in the event of a natural disaster.
Patching
Also referred to as "patch management", it is just a fancy way to say check and apply updates. You need to keep your computers and other technology up to date to keep running and stay secure. Most people just like that it keeps their computer from rebooting in the middle of the day. Although it's not listed outright, we include patching as part of our "enforced security policies".
RMM (Remote Monitoring & Management)
RMM stands for Remote Monitoring and Management (software). If your IT provider doesn't live out of their RMM day in and day out…Run! This might be the single most critical tool to provide great service. It's important to remember that purchasing licenses does not make you an expert. A properly configured RMM takes time and experience. We've built dozens of custom scripts and workflows to enhance our customers' coverage.
Maintenance Windows
Maintenance Windows are a bit old school. There may be some older software out there that requires afterhours downtime, but that's not what IT providers are usually referring to. We took a step back and asked why are there maintenance windows in the first place? Backup config files, apply updates, reboot systems, review logs. We've automated all checklists and actions that would typically be done once or twice monthly. Now there is no unnecessary delay to perform maintenance tasks.

Do you know if you are getting what you pay for?

Seriously, we'll help you audit your IT spend and educate you about where to best allocate your technology budget.
