LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Friends And Valued Quinn Tech Clients ,
Welcome to the summer 2024 edition of our magazine , your local direct source for IT advice and unique business insights delivered straight to your doorstep .
Houston had some pretty crazy storms recently that caused some severe power outages , but thankfully , our office and employees ’ homes all managed to get through with minimal disruption . Some of our clients had power outages and some even outlasted the abilities of their battery backups . Remember that even when it gets busy and a little chaotic like that , we ’ re always here and equipped to make sure everything stays on track . Often when unexpected events like this cause a disruption in business , our clients choose to move their server , critical applications , or other functions into our secure cloud service . This ensures that your users can continue to work from alternative locations when these situations occur .
My family and I recently went on a cruise to Alaska , which was absolutely beautiful . If you ’ ve never done it , I highly recommend it . The landscapes are stunning , the people are friendly , and the wildlife is amazing . It was a great opportunity for us to spend some quality time together reconnecting and recharging .
In terms of business , I wanted to highlight co-managed IT services in this issue . Many IT managers are nervous about working with technology and cybersecurity companies like ours , fearing that we are going to come in and try to take their jobs . However , our intention is exactly the opposite of that . We want to support them and really make them look like rock stars . We want their colleagues to know they ’ ve got the IT and cybersecurity handled perfectly , whether they know that we ’ re a part of that or not . It ’ s all about collaboration and making sure everyone succeeds .
We ’ ve had a long-term client , Chris , whose success story you can read all about on page 8 . When we took them on , they
were paying three to four times more to their previous IT vendor than they needed to . We helped him to evaluate what functions his internal team could and should be handling and what functions he should outsource . By figuring this out , we optimized their costs and ensured they weren ’ t paying for unnecessary services . We even helped transition those functions from their previous vendor to Chris ’ s team .
Cybersecurity is a major focus for us these days . Having seen businesses lose exorbitant amounts of money and even shut down due to ransomware and other cyberattacks , our mission is to help our clients stay protected so you can focus on running your businesses without fear . We ’ re passionate about making sure everyone feels safe and secure in their digital operations , and we ’ ll do what it takes , consistently going the extra mile to help you get there . We ’ ve added some new security tools to our offerings recently , and we ’ re really excited about the additional protections they bring to our clients .
That ’ s it for now . Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support and for continuing to engage with our magazine and our business . We couldn ’ t do it without you , and I appreciate you all .
Technology : IT ' s What We Do !
