In today’s digitized business environment, IT can be the key to unlocking productivity gains and maintaining a competitive advantage. Operating a secure, streamlined and future-ready IT ecosystem will help your business deliver a better service for its customers, grow sustainably, and exploit new opportunities.

Having the right IT partner, whether you’re based locally like us in San Luis Obispo in the Californian Central Coast, or elsewhere, can make all the difference when it comes to realizing business objectives through technology. With the right IT ally on your side, you’ll enjoy secure and efficient business technology that’s adapted to your current needs while supporting your business’ expansion. The challenge comes in discerning the exceptional IT providers from those that do the bare minimum; after all, every IT support provider claims to offer the best service in town.

Here at Accqua, our mission is help businesses across California’s Central Coast thrive through transformative, secure and empowering IT services. From our home in San Luis Obispo, we provide IT support, management, cybersecurity and modern workplace solutions to SMEs across the region, supporting them in operating more securely and productively.

Choosing an IT support provider is a critical decision, one that can have a bearing on your future growth and strategic trajectory of your business. You want a supportive IT partner who’ll guide you through the bewildering technology landscape, help you find IT solutions that address persistent challenges, and help you achieve maximum productivity. To help you evaluate your current IT provider’s performance, here are 5 things your IT provider should be doing for your business, and the Accqua IT Solutions approach.

 

Proactive Technology Management

When IT issues are allowed to escalate, they can cause outages that impact the systems you need to serve your customers and run your business. Whether it’s your website, database, email server or CRM software, you can’t afford your business-critical systems to suffer downtime.

Your IT provider should be taking proactive action across your digital estate to prioritize resilience and minimize the prospect of downtime. Doing so ensures your employees are able to work without interruption, maintains resilience in the systems you need to serve your customers and generate revenue, and secures your software against cyber threat exploitation.

The Accqua Approach to Proactive Technology

Proactivity is a concept deeply embedded in the Accqua service ethos, extending to every element of our service offering.

Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is the mainstay of our managed IT services. Our advanced RMM software allows us to update, secure and monitor your apps, devices and infrastructure, ensuring that performance issues, security vulnerabilities and system bugs are promptly addressed before they materialize as system outages.

Similarly, our advanced threat detection tools can spot the early signs of cyber-attacks, enabling rapid, decisive action to eliminate threats before they have a chance to compromise your system.

Proactivity is also a feature of our strategic guidance. By gaining an understanding of your business ambitions, we ensure that the solutions we provide have the capacity and versatility to adapt to the evolving demands of your organization. As a local partner in San Luis Obispo and the Central Cost, there are many indirect benefits to having a partner that you can meet in person, a partner that gets the needs of the local area. 

 

24/7 Availability

In today’s globalized economy, businesses need their digital systems to be operational around the clock. Your IT provider should be supporting your business with a 24/7 helpdesk presence, to ensure that critical outages can be swiftly addressed, and operational interruptions resolved so that your customers and partners enjoy seamless interactions with your digital systems. Additionally, for businesses local to our area in San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast, the degree of availability and rapidness of response for on-site support is much better, giving your business a wider and more reliable net of IT support to lean on. 

The Accqua Approach to Helpdesk Availability

Our friendly, responsive helpdesk team delivers a 24/7 support presence, meaning a fast resolution to any IT issue is never more than a brief phone call away. We’re known for providing lightning-fast response times, backed by our comprehensive service level guarantees, so you can rest assured that any critical issues will be handled with the utmost urgency.

Solutions Tailored Around Your Business

Cookie cutter solutions don’t work in the world of IT. Your IT provider should be instrumental in molding your digital systems around the quirks of your business, helping you explore digital solutions to longstanding commercial, operational and regulatory challenges.

The Accqua Appraoch to Tailored IT Solutions

At Accqua, we take pride in getting to know the inner workings of your business: your people, processes, constraints, challenges, and budget. This allows us to develop tailored solutions that address current challenges while planning for the anticipated growth and future development of your business.

We recognize that SME’s need technology to deliver maximum return on investment. That’s why we focus on providing agile, scalable and cost-effective cloud solutions. These modern solutions help businesses maximize productivity and performance, while minimizing capital expenditure, and delivering value through affordable monthly pricing.

 

Prioritizing Cybersecurity

Regardless of the nature or scale of your business, or the sector you operate within, you likely store and process large volumes of valuable data. Whether it’s financial account information, intellectual property, healthcare records or simply PII (personally identifiable information), this information makes your business a lucrative target for cybercriminals, and much of it falls under legal and regulatory protection.

Your IT provider should be prioritizing cybersecurity in every solution they provide and every service they offer. They should be undertaking proactive patch management across your systems to ensure software vulnerabilities are swiftly sealed against malicious infiltration, and they should be instrumental in establishing and managing the security and data protection mechanisms you need to defend sensitive information against cyber threats.

The Accqua Approach to Cybersecurity

Proactive patch management is the keystone of our managed service offering. This ensures your applications and operating systems benefit from the latest updates and security patches, installed almost as soon as they are made available.

When you partner with Accqua, you gain access to seasoned cybersecurity experts and best in-class cybersecurity tools. We work with you from the very beginning to develop a cyber risk management strategy for your business. This strategy assesses data security risks across your business, and establishes technical controls designed to mitigate threats at every point of vulnerability in your environment.

Our industry-leading cybersecurity tools are calibrated against the most sophisticated cyber threats active today. Our extended detection and response platform leverages AI to detect anomalous activity across your environment in-real. This combines with automated response capabilities to deliver live, autonomous threat remediation for the ultimate in network-wide protection.

 

Cost Effective Solutions and Services

With the rise in cloud computing, businesses of all sizes now have access to scalable and cost-effective solutions that empower growth and support agile, productive workforces. Your IT should be a springboard for business growth, not a financial burden. As such, your IT provider should be helping you source cost-effective, scalable solutions that are financially sustainable for your business, and help you realize your commercial objectives. They should also be willing to tailor their support packages to ensure you’re gaining maximum value-for-money from the partnership.

The Accqua Approach to Cost Effective Solutions and Services in San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast

Our flexible, individually curated support packages are designed to complement your existing IT capabilities, ensuring you only pay for the service elements you need, not those you don’t.

As a small business ourselves, we’re mindful of the budgetary constraints SMEs often operate within, and we’re conscious that small businesses need adaptable, capital-lite IT solutions that can quickly scale to meet changing demands. That’s why we’ll only ever propose cost-viable, commercially agile solutions that deliver the ROI your business demands of its IT investments.
