In This Period Of Economic Crisis, Maybe It’s Time You Took A

Closer look At What You're REALLY Getting For The Money You're Spending On IT Services And Support

 

"Daniel provided an alternative quote of what was actually needed versus what our supplier wanted us to buy. This then gave us the leverage to get a better deal which saved us more     than $24 000!"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            -   Phillip Rashleigh, Director,  DSL Logitics

  If someone could prove to you that tens of thousands of dollars were being unintentionally “stolen” from your organization – while simultaneously exposing you to hard losses that could stack up to the millions – wouldn’t you want them to tell you about it?   My name is Daniel Watson, Vertech IT Services. On the surface, we appear to be “just another” IT firm, but what we really deliver to CEOs like you is a profit-centric approach to IT. Our deliverable is MONEY, EFFICIENCY and peace of mind (SECURITY). Our approach is unique: We ensure your IT systems and investments actually drive profitable growth and shareholder value, not just “make your computers work.”   We are a leader in efficient, responsive IT services and support, with dozens of high rating reviews on google, and we are the only IT company in Auckland that offers a money back Cybersecurity Guarantee. We currently serve over 74 businesses in Auckland and have a solid reputation for service built on over 10 years’ experience. But that’s not all we do. We are also the preeminent experts in cyber security – second to none in our thorough understanding of how to protect networks from data loss, ransomware, cloud technologies, etc. I do realize that my opening claim may seem “sensational”, and that you’d be tempted to ignore this claim thinking I’m just another crackpot consultant looking for a paycheck. Maybe you think, “we’re fine.” It’s natural to insist, “Not in MY company,” or to think your IT team or company has you covered. But I can assure you of this: Like Sherlock Holmes, I have never failed to find significant and preventable losses that were occurring in the companies I’ve audited – and it’s my firm belief that right now, this very minute, such losses are occurring in YOUR organization. You ARE being underserved and left unprotected. If you have even a sneaking suspicion that even some of this is true, at what point would it be irresponsible to be “too busy” to investigate it? I’m So Confident In My Ability To Demonstrate How You’re Being Underserved That I’ll Guarantee It Because I’m so confident in what we do, I’m willing to make you the following good-natured bet: If I am unable to satisfactorily demonstrate how we can improve your bottom line through lower IT costs, improved efficiencies, better workflow and higher productivity, as well as reveal inadequate cyber security and compliance protections, then I’ll donate $200 to the charity of your choice. It’s that simple. Why would I do this? Two reasons. First, I know your time is extremely valuable and you don’t have time to mess around with companies that don’t have anything of value to offer. By putting my money on the line, you can see how serious I am about not wasting your time. Second, with the economic crisis caused by COVID-19, it’s more critical than ever to watch every penny. I’ve spent the last 10+ years perfecting our ability to deliver profit-focused IT – and we’re really good at it. That’s why I simply want the opportunity to prove ourselves.

Here Are A Few Of The Ways Money Is “Unintentionally” Exiting Your Organization

Grossly Inadequate Data Compliance And Cyber Security Protections When a cyber-attack happens, the losses stack up and multiply. First, there’s an instant loss of productivity. At best, you’re crippled. In the worse cases, you’re completely shut down, unable to transact, unable to deliver promised products and services to clients and unable to operate. In other cases, thousands if not millions of dollars are drained directly from your accounts without any chance of recovery. Then you’ have the loss of critical data, reputational damages, potential lawsuits and government fines. The epicentre of this disaster lands DIRECTLY on YOUR desk for YOU to deal with – a problem that WILL significantly undo your best laid plans for growth and progress. Yet despite this, we have found 9 out of 10 companies that we’ve audited are GROSSLY unprepared and unprotected from a ransomware attack or other major cyber security event EVEN THOUGH they have invested heavily in IT staff and resources. Before we showed them irrefutable evidence of these inadequacies, the CEO was convinced his “IT team had it handled.” A ticking time bomb they didn’t know was “live” under their seat. Chronic IT “Glitches” And Downtime As the saying goes, “Overhead walks on two legs.” Any CEO knows that unproductive, distracted workers not only kill profitability, but increase the chances of mistakes, missed deadlines, sloppy work and low morale. A frustrated team is not a productive one. Yet we find that most CEOs don’t realize just how often their employees are being interrupted and distracted due to recurring IT failures because it’s “hidden” from them. Many are shocked to discover their employees are dealing with chronic IT problems that are constantly getting in the way of serving clients, closing sales and doing their job, forcing them to stop what they are doing, re-doing the work they just spent hours doing, or possibly NOT doing what they are supposed to do. Just one hour of this a day adds up when multiplied over an entire year and your entire workforce. We resolve ALL of this. “Maverick” Spending, Poor Utilization And Undisciplined Planning Many companies we’ve audited have a mishmash of patch-work technology pieced together like an old quilt. A “Frankenstein” monster lumbering along. Nothing matches, nothing works as efficiently as it should and the entire IT system is awash in inefficiencies, duplicate and redundant resources and outdated technologies. Over time, pieces are added like band aides instead of being elegantly designed as a whole to maximize productivity and lower the total cost of ownership. Our approach is to eliminate ALL of this and ensure a well-crafted plan is put in place to maximize productivity, security and efficiencies. Curious? Let’s Schedule A Brief 10-Minute Call To Discuss The next step is simple: call my office at 09 972 0367  OR set up a meeting by clicking on my calendar HERE to schedule a brief 10 to 15-minute initial consultation. You may also send me an e-mail to daniel@vertech.co.nz. On this call we can discuss your unique situation, any concerns you have and of course, answer any questions you have about us. If you feel comfortable moving ahead, we’ll schedule a convenient time to either:

1. The Free Quick "Hands Off" systems check - This cyber security consulting is suitable for a smaller business with limited complexity where the owners are already aware there a some problems to be fixed. We send out two team members for an hour, one to interview the main technical point of contact or decision maker in the organisation and another to visually inspect the network, systems and passively obtain information through various means. A simple traffic light report is generated and Vertech's remediation/mitigation costs provided. Due to resource constraints we can only provide a small amount of these per quarter however to apply please fill the form below and we shall contact you to discuss.

2. The Paid "Thud Factor" Full Risk Assessment & Report - Costing upwards of $2500 depending on your company size and complexity we will conduct a formal assessment utilising the CIS/SANS 18 v8.0 Security Framework to examine your environment from within & without whilst looking at factors such as People, Processes and Protections. We interview the management as well as staff, run credentialed vulnerability scans internally and external scans against any public facing systems such websites & firewalls. The information is gathered into a final report where the risks are prioritised by priority and potential impact to the business with the mitigation strategies and estimated costs provided such that you can hand the plan to your inhouse or existing IT provider to resolve.

This Assessment can be conducted 100% remote with or without your current IT company or department knowing (we can give you the full details on our initial consultation call). At the end of the Assessment, you’ll know:

• Where you are overpaying (or getting underserved) for the services and support you are currently getting from your current IT company or team.
• Whether or not your systems and data are truly secured from hackers and ransomware, and where you are partially or totally exposed.
• If your data is actually being backed up in a manner that would allow you to recover it quickly in the event of an emergency or ransomware attack.
• Where you are unknowingly violating regulations such as PCI-DSS and the Privacy Act 2020.
• How you could lower the overall costs of IT while improving communication, security and performance, as well as the productivity of your employees.

Fresh eyes see things that others cannot – so at a minimum, our free Assessment is a completely cost and risk-free way to get a credible third-party validation of the security, stability and efficiency of your IT systems.

At The End Of This Assessment, One Of 3 Things Will Happen

Option 1 is that you’ll love the plan we provide (and may be shocked by what we uncover) but may decide to implement it on your own. If that’s the case, we’ll wish you the best of luck and hope you’ll keep us in mind for future projects. Option 2 is that you’ll love the plan and will want my team’s help in implementing it. If that’s the case, we’ll knock it out of the park ... and that’s a promise I’ll guarantee. Or finally, in the unlikely and unprecedented event that you feel like you wasted your time and have NOT demonstrated, to your satisfaction, how to lower your IT costs and dramatically improve your situation, we will send a check for $200 to your charity of choice, no questions asked. Think about it: the “worst” that can happen is you get $200 to your favorite charity for having an independent, credible third party validate the security, efficiency and stability of your IT systems. To get started, please set up a meeting by clicking on my calendar HERE to answer your questions and see if you’d like to proceed.

Yours sincerely,

Daniel Watson Managing Director Vertech IT Services 09 972 0367 daniel@vertech.co.nz
