Managed Services Audit Program

Alexander Muse , June 9, 2008

Earlier this year we launched something we call our ‘Managed Services Audit Program’.  The program is designed for business owners who employ their own in-house IT staff.  To start our engineers will install our network monitoring device within the business owner’s network.  The alerts and notifications will be delivered to the business owner’s IT staff via email or SMS.  Next we set up our online backup service (up-to 100GB of backup) offering the business owner’s IT staff access to the same tools we offer to our fractional IT clients.  Finally, we conduct a complete audit of your systems each quarter, providing the business owner a third-party’s opinion of your IT infrastructure.  All of this for $5,000 per year (paid in advance).  To summarize:

• Network and System Monitoring
• Online Backup (on-site and remote storage of data)
• Quarterly audit of IT infrastructure

Businesses who purchase our Managed Services Audit Program can switch to our fully managed fractional IT solution at any time and we will waive our installation fees.  Contact Scott Ryan at 214.550.2010 if you would like to schedule a meeting to discuss our Managed Service Audit Program.

Hanging out with Rocky Bleier

Scott Ryan , April 17, 2008

Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to hang out with a living legend, Rocky Bleier. Rocky was drafted by the Steelers after graduating from college only to be drafted by the Army a year later. Rocky was injured in the Vietnam War and upon returning was told he could not play professional football due to his injuries. The attached article is the contents of the June 9, 1975 Sports Illustrated cover article on Rocky’s experience in Vietnam. His
experience was so remarkable a book written and a made for TV movie titled “Fighting Back” was made to immortalize his accomplishments. Post Vietman he fought his way back onto the Steeler’s and helped lead them to 4 Super Bowl titles as a running back for them. I was fortunate enough to book him to speak at the Dallas Roundtable, pictures available here http://www.dallasroundtable.org/
