Remember when backing up meant a stack of floppy disks next to the computer? The floppies are gone, but plenty of offices still have the same setup: one copy, sitting right next to the machine it's supposed to protect, that nobody has ever tested.

It's worth a few minutes this week to find out where you stand. Ask whoever handles your IT three questions:

- What gets backed up? Just some files, or the whole computer and server?
- Where does the backup live? If it's only on a drive plugged into the same machine, ransomware can reach it too.
- When did someone last restore something from it to prove it works?

For our managed clients we run image-based backups. They capture the entire machine: operating system, programs, settings, and files. If a PC or server dies, we restore the whole thing instead of rebuilding it from scratch. We can check your backups and test a restore so you know they'll work when you need them.

Not sure how your backups are set up? Call us at 608-430-3717 and we'll help you find out.

We can deal with your internet provider so you don't have to.

Internet down? Phones acting up? Bill doesn't look right? We can make that call for you. We open the ticket with your ISP, give them the technical details they ask for, and stay on it.

Same goes for your other tech vendors: the phone system, the copier company, the software your practice runs on. You call us, and we handle the back-and-forth.

For a healthcare practice, that means the front desk stays with patients, not on hold.

Tired of being your office's ISP liaison? Call 608-430-3717.

In February, HHS settled with a small Illinois treatment provider for $103,000. It started with one phished email account that exposed records for 1,980 patients. The main finding wasn't the phishing, though. It was that the practice hadn't done an accurate and thorough HIPAA risk analysis.

Being a small-town practice doesn't make the rule any smaller. Clinics, dental offices, chiropractors, and therapy practices are held to the same standard as the big health systems. Most of the practices we talk to aren't sure where their patient data actually lives: which computers, which email accounts, which vendors.

That's what our free 30-minute HIPAA Risk Check is for. We walk through how your practice handles patient data and tell you plainly where the gaps are. It isn't a full risk analysis, but you'll know where you stand and what to fix first.

Sometimes the win isn't the thing we installed.

A client found a way to cut their delivery costs — a reporting feature from a vendor they already used. That vendor was on site that week and willing to switch it on while they were there. Perfect timing.

Except their network couldn't handle it. No equipment for it, nobody managing it, and a closing window.

We got the gear ordered and installed in time. Vendor flipped it on before they left, and our client is saving money on something we don't even have our name on.

That's the job. Making sure the network isn't the reason a good idea doesn't happen.

How many different systems are running in your building right now?

Most places genuinely don't know. Equipment gets added a piece at a time over the years, by whoever was around, and eventually nobody can say what's plugged into what. That's fine right up until something quits on a Monday morning and there's no place to start looking.

We sort that out. Pull what's dead, replace what's worn, consolidate the rest into one system that's documented — so the next person who opens that closet knows exactly what they're looking at.

A door access job from a few weeks back.

New UniFi system, everything routed through pathways that were already there. No new holes, no pipe hanging on the walls. You shouldn't be able to tell we were in the hallway.

Works, looks finished. That's the standard.

Power is out in parts of the Monroe area this morning.
When the lights go out, most businesses lose a lot more than just lighting. Computers shut down mid-task, internet drops, phones stop working, security systems go offline, and productivity comes to a halt. Even a short outage can cost hours of lost work and frustrated customers.
This is exactly why battery backup (UPS) is one of the smartest and most overlooked investments for small businesses.
A good battery backup doesn’t have to power your entire building. It just needs to keep your most critical equipment running long enough to:

Finish what you’re working on and save files
Stay connected to clients and team members
Keep your network, internet, and VoIP phones online
Give you time to safely shut everything down if needed

Many local businesses only think about this after they’ve been knocked offline. A properly sized UPS for your key systems can make the difference between a minor inconvenience and a real disruption.
If you’ve been thinking about adding (or upgrading) battery backup for your business — or you’re not sure what equipment should be protected — feel free to reach out. I’m happy to share what actually makes sense for small teams in our area.
Stay safe out there.

Not every company does the job right the first time.

We recently took over a job in Schaumburg, IL where the previous work had real issues — old outdoor housings left in place, indoor cable used outside, poor sealing, and cameras installed with open holes.

This kind of work causes water problems, failing cameras, and expensive repeat visits.

Here’s how we handle every install the right way.
