Protecting your business’s information technology is a 24/7 job

The recent incident at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s winter White House, was a poignant reminder that even the presence of Secret Service is no deterrent to those determined to compromise our systems.

David Moadab, the owner of Solutions Squad Inc – a Hollywood-based IT company– received an award from the City of NMB and was also recently recognized as a 2017 Managed Service provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 category by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company.

New to Running Your Own Business? Advice from Small Business Owners

Learn from Others

David B. Moadab of Solutions Squad, an IT support business, also suggests that you “find others like yourself, either in the same industry, or running businesses of the same size, and soak in as much information from them as possible.” What makes this piece of advice so important? “What you will learn from them in five minutes can offset months of trial and error on your own,” says Moadab.

Basically, by getting a mentor or someone you can go to for advice, you can potentially achieve higher levels of success at a faster rate. And you can do this simply by avoiding the common pitfalls that come with newly owning and operating your own business.

Be Ready to Take Risks

Moadab also says that new business owners must be ready to take risks. But not just any risks. Calculated risks.

Business Dictionary defines a calculated risk as “a chance of exposure to loss or injury that might be undertaken after its advantages and disadvantages have been carefully weighted and considered.” This requires looking at the pros and cons of the risk at hand and making an intelligent, well thought out decision based on the information at hand.

“You can’t win if you don’t play,” says Moadab. Just make sure you…. Read the rest of the article by visiting http://businessingmag.com/4864/strategy/new-to-running-your-own-business-advice-from-small-business-owners/

Solutions Squad Triumphs Over Smoke-Filled Offices

Solutions Squad Inc. is a managed service provider specializing in small business IT for various industries. Often, the team at Solutions will serve as the dedicated IT department for their clients, taking care of everything from network design to helpdesk support. They also specialize in providing backup solutions.

Recently, longtime property management client, Genet Property Group, found themselves evacuating their office mid-day. The VP of Operations at Genet immediately contacted David Moadab, Managing Partner at Solutions Squad, explaining that their office was filling with smoke.

Genet works on billable hours, which calls for a zero downtime. Their servers are business critical and being pushed out of the office halts them from processing payments, leases, and coordinating showings.
Upon hearing the news, Moadab remotely shut down the servers and workstations and drove directly to the Genet office. The VP of Operations’ initial question for him was, “Are we backed up?”. Upon hearing confirmation from Moadab, the VP was pleasantly surprised and relieved. He shared with Moadab that, through years of industry experience, he had never gotten that kind of positive response during a downtime situation.
Luckily, the smoke was not fire-related. A leaking AC unit was to blame. Genet was able to get back in the office after just two hours. Had that not been the case,
Solutions Squad equips Genet with remote access to workstations, so the business could have continued as usual albeit, remotely.
Solutions Squad provides Genet with complete business continuity through a Datto SIRIS. Prior to this, the team at Genet used tape backups. One of their reps would take the tape backups home each night, to ensure their data was safe. In comparison, Datto’s SIRIS device requires very little hand holding, which means a lot less data-related stress for both Genet and Solutions.
The reps at Genet work beyond the 9-5 grind, and Solutions Squad is an IT provider with a work ethic to match. Partnering with Datto, which provides 24/7/365 support, is a no brainer.
“Most companies give you a product and they say good luck, but with Datto that’s not the case. Their support goes above and beyond to solve any issues,” said Moadab.
On their relationship with Datto going forward, “It’s good to be working with a company that’s on the edge of technology innovation,” David concluded.

“We speak English not Nerd”

Solutions Squad is a computer services company that won’t blind you with science or overwhelm you with tech jargon.

“My partner and I have been doing this since we were 16,” company co-founder David Moadab said. “Our staff is experienced with both home users and the corporate environment.”

Founded in 1996, Solutions Squad started out as Beach Computers, a provider of hardware, software and repair solutions for both the home and business. In 2001 the company went through a restructuring process that led to them achieving their goal of providing revolutionary web hosting solutions to the industry, and the company continued to grow at an extraordinary rate. In 2005, Solutions Squad entered into its current incarnation through a merger of Beach Computers and other IT and computer related companies to develop the ultimate one-stop-shop.

“Let us deal with it,” is the reassuring company motto used by Moadab. No matter what the challenge, Solutions Squad’s niche is everything technology, so “you just call us and we take care of it.”

During the holiday season there are many challenges that may arise. Individuals that received technology as a gift this year may want to take advantage of Solutions Squad’s expertise to get the most out of their new software or hardware.

And business owners, in this tough economy, need to maximize every dollar and shouldn’t have to waste their time sourcing the technology they need to do their job.

“We already have existing partnerships with global vendors like Microsoft,” Moadab said. “We know where to go, we know who would be able to give the customer a better price and the best service — saving money, and time.”

The “everything technology” that Solutions Squad offers includes; fully managed IT solutions, home and office telephony solutions, audio and video systems, web site hosting and design, CCTV and security systems, consulting and training.

Furthermore, as Solutions Squad’s number one priority is, and has always been, complete client satisfaction a potential customer can always be sure he or she will have the best experience possible when utilizing the company’s knowledge, friendliness and collective staff experience.

Ultimately, “we’re very concerned with customer satisfaction,” Moadab said, and “we have zero unhappy clients.”

Best Information Technology Company

Finding computer guys you can trust is becoming harder and harder. While just about every high school graduate these days considers himself or herself a computer technician, the team at Solutions Squad is busy putting more than 20 years of combined field experience at
their clients’ disposal.

The result is happy clients and rave reviews. Whether it’s a systems upgrade, new office network design and implementation or simply a performance tune-up, the staff hits the ground running.

This one-stop technical solutions company provides on-site, affordable, reliable and friendly service. Solutions Squad will coordinate with multiple vendors on a variety of technology-related services, and manage projects so you don’t have to, successfully alleviating the technical stresses of operating a business.
