LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Friends And Valued Quinn Tech Clients ,

The past few months have raised in me a mixture of gratitude and resolve . I think most of you will agree with me when I say this year has certainly kept us on our toes . With the unexpected challenges brought on by recent events like Hurricane Beryl , which inspired my article on disaster recovery on page 6 , our resilience was tested , but we were also reminded of the value of preparation and the strength of our community .

As we embrace the many opportunities of fall , one thing that stands out to me is the dedication of our team to ensuring that our clients remain operational even in the face of adversity . When the hurricane knocked out power across large portions of the city , we had clients whose businesses came to a standstill . In one instance , an architecture firm was left unable to complete a critical project due to the outage . Our team responded quickly , navigating darkened stairwells with flashlights to retrieve servers and relocate them to our data center . Within hours , their operations were back up and running .
In this issue , you ’ ll find stories of innovation , perseverance , and the ways in which technology is being harnessed to overcome obstacles . Whether it ’ s the introduction of new cybersecurity measures , the benefits of cloud-based solutions , or the success of a fellow entrepreneur in taking control of their IT to rise above in their industry , we hope you find something that resonates with you and inspires action .
I ’ d also like to share with you a new product we ’ ve introduced that is specifically designed to protect an environment almost all of us use : Office 365 . Because more and more businesses are relying on Microsoft ’ s suite of tools for their daily operations , the risk of breaches and data loss has grown . Our new solution is a powerful , yet cost-effective , tool that provides an extra layer of protection to ensure that your email , OneDrive , and SharePoint data remain secure . In addition to
its security benefits , we also recommend pairing this solution with a third-party backup service to ensure your data is always safe , even beyond Microsoft ’ s standard 30-day backup .
This brings me to the broader purpose of why we create this magazine for you : to address the challenges and frustrations our clients often express to us . These issues frequently extend beyond just IT , and many times , clients may not realize that technology could be the solution to their problems . Our goal with this publication is to educate , inform , and offer insights that might spark new ways of thinking or introduce tools that could make a significant difference in your operations .
In closing , thank you , always , for your continued trust in us and cheers to making the most of the rest of this year . As we move into the fall , my hope is that this magazine continues to serve as a valuable resource for you and your team . If you find yourself inspired to make a change , we at Quinn Technology Solutions are here to support your journey in any way we can and to help you navigate the complexities of the digital world .
Our mission is to ensure that your business thrives , no matter the challenges that come your way .
Your trusted technical advisor , Technology : IT ' s What We Do !
