Google Gemini, Google’s AI tool can make summary and action notes from your online meeting as well as full transcripts of everyone’s contribution.

This takes the responsibility off of you and allows you to focus on managing the discussion and participation. To manage settings for this feature, go to the Settings menu in Google Meet.

You can independently set “Take notes with Gemini” and “Transcribe the meeting” for the current or future meetings.

Effective communication and ironclad security shouldn't be mutually exclusive. For businesses with 4-40 employees, scaling your team means scaling your infrastructure—smartly.

By partnering with an MSP, you gain access to enterprise-level solutions tailored for your budget:

VOIP Services: Crystal-clear, flexible communication that keeps your team connected, whether they are in the office or working remotely.

Segmented Networks: We divide your network into secure zones, ensuring that if one area is compromised, your most critical data remains locked down and inaccessible to lateral threats.

Upgrade your communication while fortifying your defenses. Reach out to Atlas Business Solutions to see how we can optimize your daily operations!

Did you know that the vast majority of data breaches start with a simple human error? A single clicked link in a phishing email can compromise your entire operation.

If your team is growing (4-40 employees), you can't afford to have IT be a guessing game. When you hire an MSP like Atlas Business Solutions, we don't just install software and walk away. We empower your team.

Our Cybersecurity Training transforms your employees from your biggest vulnerability into your strongest line of defense. From identifying phishing scams to practicing safe password habits, we ensure your staff is ready for modern threats.

Combine this with our full suite of services—including assessments, VOIP, EDR, and network segmentation—and you have a complete, worry-free IT department at a fraction of the cost of an in-house hire.

Let Atlas carry the weight of your IT.

Is your business growing? If you have between 4 and 40 employees, you are in a critical growth phase—but you’re also in the prime crosshairs for cyber threats.

Small and mid-sized businesses often assume they are "too small to target," but attackers know that growing teams often lack enterprise-grade security. That’s where partnering with a Managed Service Provider (MSP) like Atlas changes the game.

We protect your hard work with:

Comprehensive Cybersecurity Assessments: We find the vulnerabilities before the hackers do.

EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response): Next-generation monitoring that detects and neutralizes threats on your team's devices in real-time, no matter where they are working.

Don't leave your business's future to chance. Let’s secure your digital foundation today.

Getting Cyber-Insurance isn’t easy. The qualifying questions are hard. Failure to answer accurately can void your insurance when you need it most.

And yet, surveys show that 89% of Canadian businesses had at least one cybersecurity incident in the last 12 months. 55% reported having 2 or more!

We might think that only large businesses get hit, but this is a myth:

85% of businesses with less that 99 endpoints (computers, phones, workstations, or other devices) reported an incident.

91% of businesses with 100 to 499 endpoints reported an incident.

80% of large companies with more than 500 devices reported an incident.

Atlas can help you qualify for insurance.

Just like "pre-approved” mortgages, we can “pre-qualify” your business for insurance. Just like a mortgage, pre-qualification allows you to shop for the best price and the best coverage from your broker knowing that you have at least one solid offer in your hip pocket.

Phone services have come a long way. Our parents grew up with POTS which stands for “Plain Old Telephone Service”. It rang, you answered it. You picked up the receiver and “dialed” the number you wanted to call. You had a notepad and paper beside the phone to take messages.

For many businesses, this evolved to “Public Branch Exchange” (PBX). You dialed a business number and then you needed the extension of the person or department you wanted to talk to.

Today, communications are more complex than ever:

Calls from new customers go to voicemail but callers don’t want to leave a message.
Employees use their personal phones for work but then leave the company and you use their clients with them.
You spend so much of your time monitoring your SMS, your voicemails, Teams, email, work calls, cell calls, Signal, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and chats to stay up on all the threads.

If your small business is still relying on traditional landlines or clunky hardware in the IT closet, it’s costing you more than just your monthly telecom bill.

Enter UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service)—a simple, cloud-based upgrade that takes your phone lines, video conferencing, and team chat, and bundles them into a single application.

Frustrated by Chrome giving you an "AI Overview" instead of a good match for your search?

Me too! I often want a source that I can cite in my research not what Gemini finds as a consensus answer.

Here's how to change Chrome to remove the AI Overview option:
1. In Chrome, go to the 3 dot menu (top right) and choose Settings.
2. Choose "Search Engine."
3. Click the right pointing ">" beside "Manage search engines and site search."
4. Under "Site search" click "Add" to install a new Search engine option. A new window will open.
5. Call the new Search Site anything you would like, "Like Google without AI Overview".
6. Give it a shortcut of https://zurl.co/rWLTa (Note that on one instance, it wouldn't accept this and I had to use "https://zurl.co/iybnM")
7. Fill in the URL with this exact string: {google:baseURL}/search?udm=14&q=%s
The completed window is in the picture below.
8. Click "Add" and you should be back in the main "Search Engine" window again.
9. Click the 3-dots beside your new Search Site entry and make it the default. It will be moved to the upper section named "Search engines" and be listed in bold font as the default.

You can always go back to the default Google search engine from this list if you want.
