As I looked around, I noticed a battery backup unit quietly beeping in the corner. The battery had failed long ago, meaning it wouldn't protect their systems during a power outage. It was a small issue—but one that spoke volumes.

Unfortunately, I've seen situations where neglected IT environments have led to much bigger problems, from failed backups to costly downtime and compliance concerns.

A good MSP doesn't disappear after onboarding. They should be:
✔️ Meeting with you regularly to review your technology.
✔️ Monitoring your systems before issues become emergencies.
✔️ Testing backups and having a documented recovery plan.
✔️ Helping your business stay secure, compliant, and prepared for growth.

If you already have an IT provider, ask yourself:
• Do I know who my IT team is?
• When was our last quarterly review?
• Could they provide a current network diagram today?
• Do they have a documented plan for restoring our systems if disaster strikes?

If you don't know the answers, it may be time to have a focused conversation with them, or start looking for alternative providers.

Proud to be sponsoring a hole at this year’s Lake Zurich Area Chamber of Commerce Golf outing at the gorgeous The Grove Country Club. If you missed it, this year, you might consider it next year, either as a golfer or a sponsor. They sell out every year, so as a hole sponsor, your afternoon puts you in front of 70+ folk.

One of my favorite stops while traveling through Northern Ireland was the Giant's Causeway, a truly fascinating stretch of coastline just west of Belfast.

Nature has a way of creating things that seem almost impossible, and this is one of them.

Thousands of hexagonal basalt columns rise from the shoreline and stretch into the sea, formed millions of years ago by volcanic activity. Even more incredible? A matching formation exists across the water in Scotland—a reminder that these two lands were once connected long before the continents drifted apart.

I thought I'd share a little piece of that peaceful morning with you.

Have you ever visited Ireland, or is it still on your travel bucket list?
