Why Us?

Good day,

 

Last week, a small business owner asked, "We have an IT company that seems like they do a good job for us. Why should we choose you?" It's a great, direct question. I shared my perspective with four points:

  1. Google awarded us with 2024 Premier Partner status for Google Workspace. This award, and others, reflect our commitment to consistently deliver quality services and innovative, secure, cost-effective solutions.
  2. Over 30% of attendees at our 3T@3 and Coffee & Clouds events work at other IT firms, including direct competitors. Our peers recognize the value we bring to the table.
  3. Beyond keeping things running, we look forward. Is your IT provider coming to you with ideas, such as those in our 7 Questions to Ask Your IT Provider eBook? If not, don't you deserve a partner that looks for ways to improve how your IT services enable your business?
  4. We are NOT a traditional MSP and we do not just "put it in the cloud." Our Managed Cloud Services, and our business model, are designed to leverage cloud services to better support your business, simplify your IT environment, enhance security and your users' experience, and improve your business resilience. 

Our approach is different, as are the results. If you have an IT issue, question, or concern you want us to cover, please let us know. Your feedback and ideas guide our efforts. 

 

Thank you for being part of our community,

Allen Falcon, CEO
