12 Reasons to Choose Zephyr Networks for Your Managed IT Services

We could also talk about the way we take the lessons learned from lifeguarding and sailing—the importance of strategy and managing the little things—and apply them to IT management. That’s a unique selling point, one that demonstrates proof-of-concept across multiple applications. We could also talk about how we send our help desk personnel to each of our clients once a year to maintain a higher level of personal communication as part of our high-quality services. We could also talk about our extensive internet service provider and data center experience.
We also pride ourselves in the increased productivity of clients staff by helping provide continued technical education, quick computer systems, and reduced support incidents.

Cybersecurity From The Start
The computer and network support industry has gone through a lot of change and while IT-related business systems has gotten more reliable, those systems have multiplied and are increasingly complex. As a result, many Managed IT Service Providers are scrambling to skill-up and staff-up and are trying their best to ramp up their understanding of cybersecurity and what that is, how to achieve it, implement it and support it (and the myriad and ever growing and changing landscape with regard to industry specific IT government regulations and security and privacy laws.

Bigger Isn't Always Better, Better Is Always Better
This should be common sense but it's not. Don't be fooled by the "size" of an MSP as the measure of their ability to meet and exceed your expectations. And while there are many larger MSPs than Zephyr, you will be hard pressed to find one better. Instead of investing in a high-volume sales team or growth at the sacrifice of quality. At Zephyr Networks, our guiding principle in this area of our business is quite simple, "bigger isn't always better, better is always better".
Top Managed Service Provider (MSP) Questions
It's important to vet out the MSP when choosing which to work with, but there are some top questions you can ask when selecting an IT vendor, and we've included it in our report:
Many IT services and security providers adopt a largely reactive approach to issues. Often, their software and services only come into play "too late," failing to prevent problematic occurrences. For instance, they might detect a virus once it's already infiltrated your systems and caused substantial damage. Similarly, their attempt to recover data after a breach is usually haphazard and futile. At Zephyr Networks, we believe you deserve a service that's much more impactful and timely.
Zephyr Networks is Proactive and Preventative
We think you deserve a better IT service and support relationship. At Zephyr Networks, we take a truly proactive and preventative approach. We make it our goal to make your system as robust as possible, and implemented properly with best practices cybersecurity controls and managed and monitored properly so that a disaster is less likely to impact the business in the first place, and we educate your staff to raise the cybersecurity I.Q of your entire organization. And, in the event that disaster does strike, you will know that absolutely everything that could have been done to prevent it was in fact done properly, and that you'll have the confidence to know that you can recover quickly and efficiently.
Zephyr Networks' Customer-Centric Philosophy
All of these things are things we do differently, things that set Zephyr Networks apart. But the single biggest thing that sets Zephyr apart from other providers is our philosophy.
