Security & cOmpliance
Cybersecurity and compliance are two things that require constant vigilance in today’s business environment. Every two seconds, a small business in the United States is the victim of a cyberattack—and it seems like government compliance and regulation requirements change almost as often. With our fully managed IT services, you have the peace of mind of knowing a team of experts are on the case 24/7, making sure you are clear and current.
Every Paragus client has a specialized resource, your Network Manager, whose entire focus is on preventing issues from happening in the first place. From monitoring your systems to installing updates and staying ahead of the latest threats and risks, they are responsible for keeping your network running smoothly and ensuring compliance with any governing bodies.
Services Offered Include:
Remote monitoring and patch management
State, federal, and industry compliance support
Business continuity
Strategic Services
At Paragus, we are invested in the long-term success of our clients. We start by facilitating an annual strategic planning session where we help you assess how IT fits into the broader goals and objectives for your business. From there we develop your three-year technology roadmap, laying out your goals and how we can work with you to achieve them. Finally, we build your one-year annual budget so that you know exactly what expenses and changes are coming in each quarter of the upcoming fiscal year.
Your Account Relationship Manager will meet with you at least once a month to review everything going on in your business and ensure nothing ever falls through the cracks. These check-ins provide a great opportunity to review upcoming projects, share insights, and bring opportunities to your attention that you might have otherwise missed out on.
Services Offered Include:
One-on-one IT strategy and alignment meeting every month
Three-year technology roadmap and one-year annual budget
Updates on industry trends and new opportunities
AI & AUTOMATION
You can’t talk about technology today without talking about AI and Automation. But we understand that many people are still trying to get their heads around what these tools are exactly, and more specifically, how they can work for your business.
To start, we do a complete assessment on all your current processes and walk you through the ways that you may be able to benefit from AI and Automation—and, just as importantly, when you should not use it. We also provide real-time demonstrations on how AI can effortlessly automate tasks like crafting emails, designing engaging PowerPoints, and conducting analysis. Whether you’re just starting your AI and Automation journey or looking to take things to the next level, we’ve got you covered.
Services Offered Include:
Automating business processes using Power Automate
Building custom apps leveraging Power Apps
Dashboards for data visualization with Power BI
PROJECTS & ASSEssMENTS
In addition to a team that handles all of the routine tasks and responsibilities that are essential to providing excellent support, we also have a dedicated Projects division. From research and analysis to design and execution, the Projects division has the resources, expertise, and focus to ensure that projects are well defined, meticulously planned, and completed on time and on budget. We’re here to exceed your expectations.
When it comes to assessments, our team has the experience and resources to meet almost any need. From a basic phishing test to measure your employees’ IT intellect, to a full-scale 360 degree network assessment, we’ve got you covered.
