Our Vision: Making Technology Accessible to Everyone

Cyberattacks are more common—and more damaging—than ever. That’s why we use AgileBlue , a 24/7 ransomware protection and threat monitoring solution that actively scans for suspicious activity across your entire system.
We combine AgileBlue with managed backups to give you both:
• Early detection and real-time alerts for ransomware or unusual logins
• Daily encrypted backups, stored offsite for disaster recovery
• Recovery plans tested and ready in case something goes wrong
Small businesses and government offices are especially vulnerable due to limited internal IT resources. We help fill that gap with affordable, local support and the same tools used by enterprise-level networks.

When your computer starts acting up, there are a few solid first steps you can take before bringing it in. Here are five fixes that solve a surprising number of issues:
• Restart your PC – It clears system memory and stuck background processes
• Run Windows Update – Installs stability and security fixes
• Check Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) – Look for apps using too much CPU or RAM
• Run 'sfc /scannow' in Command Prompt (Admin) – Checks and repairs system files
• Boot into Safe Mode – Helps identify if a problem is caused by third-party software or drivers
Still having issues after this? That’s what we’re here for. Bring it in and let us run full diagnostics to get you back on track.

From single-building offices to multi-entry government facilities, we help with:
• Surveillance cameras with remote access and storage
• Badge-based or keypad-controlled door access
• On-premise and cloud-connected recording options
