Home since 1996

We have run technology for Central Florida businesses from this block of downtown Winter Haven since the dial-up days. The office is at 199 Avenue B NW. Finance is here, most of the service team is here, and the people who have been with us longest are here. Most of the work happens where you are, so the office is by appointment, and we are on site when it matters: Lakeland, Auburndale, Bartow, Haines City, Lake Wales, and the rest of Polk County.

Who is here

The people who answer the phone, the people who set up your computers, and the people who send the invoice. When you reach out at 863-594-1141, a real person takes it from there. Your Concierge Lead knows your company, your people, and your setup; two Concierge Specialists know them too; and the whole company is behind them, most of it within a few rooms of each other.

Cybersecurity services, said plainly

Polk County businesses ask us for security more than anything else, and it comes with every plan rather than as an upgrade. The watching is done by people, all day and all night, over sign-ins, mail, and machines, and they act when something is wrong. Phishing is stopped at the door. A password alone no longer opens your Microsoft 365. Your people get short training a few times a year, and a backup that lives somewhere else is tested and can be wound back to any hour. We are SOC 2 compliant and work to HIPAA, CJIS, the FTC Safeguards Rule, PCI-DSS, GLBA, and Florida's FIPA. When your cyber insurance renewal asks its forty questions, we answer them with you.

Your own IT team, from the home office

One price per person, per month. New people, departures, a new printer, a new phone: included. An office move, a migration, a new building: a project, scoped with you and quoted before the work starts. Microsoft licenses are billed as their own lines, at Microsoft's prices, so you can see them. Nobody asks you to explain yourself twice, and nobody hands you to a stranger.

Lakeland, and the rest of Polk County

Lakeland is down the road, and clients there get the same team from here; so do Auburndale, Bartow, Haines City, Lake Wales, and the towns between. There is no Lakeland office, and we do not pretend there is. When the problem calls for a person in the room, a person drives over.
