Giving Retired Laptops a Second Life with Haven of Hope
Not everything worth writing about is a network upgrade. Earlier this year we sent a round of refurbished laptops to Haven of Hope International, a Fort Myers nonprofit working in global orphan care. A few weeks ago those laptops came back to us as a video from Uganda, and it made our whole week. Who […]
Powering a Roofer’s Third Fort Myers Location
Growth shows up in the least glamorous places — like making sure a brand-new office has working internet, phones, and Wi-Fi on the day the team walks in. A growing local roofing company was opening its third Fort Myers location, near MLK Boulevard, and needed the whole space wired and connected before move-in. It’s another […]
How we use Remarkable tablets to stay organized
Our team runs on tickets, documentation, and quick notes during client calls. We tried everything—traditional notebooks that get lost, tablet apps that feel clunky, laptops that create a barrier during meetings. Then we found Remarkable tablets, and they stuck. What makes Remarkable different Remarkable tablets are e-ink devices designed for one thing: writing. No notifications, […]
Copilot + Claude in the Real World
Everyone’s talking about AI, but for most teams there’s a big gap between the hype and actually using it to get work done. We recently helped close that gap for a Cape Coral manufacturer — running a hands-on lunch-and-learn for their team focused on two of the most useful tools out there right now: Microsoft […]
Why we’re recommending Proxmox after the VMware pricing changes
The VMware licensing changes that hit last year caught a lot of businesses off guard. What used to be perpetual licenses with predictable support costs turned into subscription pricing that, for many of our clients, meant 3-5x increases. We’ve been helping several companies evaluate their options, and we keep landing on the same answer: Proxmox. […]
Are Network Problems Impacting Your Productivity?
A client calls in saying their server needs to be replaced because it’s running slow. Another complains that their phones cut out mid-call. A third swears their internet provider is throttling them. When we dig in, the problem is almost never what they think it is. It’s usually the network. The network hides in plain […]
Why a Cheap Battery Backup May Not Protect You
If you work in Southwest Florida, you already know power interruptions aren’t a matter of if, but when. Summer thunderstorms, lightning strikes, tropical storms, and utility fluctuations make battery backup essential for any business that depends on computers. Unfortunately, many businesses buy the wrong type of UPS and only discover the problem when the lights […]
Built Something With AI? We’ll Host, Back Up & Secure It
AI has changed who can build software. These days a business owner, a marketing person, or a contractor can sit down and produce a working app, tool, or website in an afternoon. We’re seeing more and more clients show up with exactly that — something genuinely useful they (or someone they hired) built — and […]
How IT services help homebuilders stay competitive
Homebuilders in Southwest Florida face a unique set of IT challenges. Between managing subcontractors, coordinating permits, tracking materials, and keeping clients updated, there’s a lot of moving parts. When technology fails or slows you down, it hits your bottom line fast. We work with several builders in the region, and we’ve seen the same pain […]
Why ultrawide monitors make sense for business users
We’ve been recommending ultrawide monitors to clients more often lately, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. These displays—typically 34 inches or larger with a 21:9 aspect ratio—offer significantly more horizontal workspace than traditional 16:9 monitors without the bezels and alignment headaches of a multi-monitor setup. What you actually get An ultrawide monitor is roughly […]
