JMARK 120 People Eager To Make All Your I.T. Dreams Come True (In case you’re counting heads, we really do have 120 employees, but the rest were too busy taking care of clients to pose for a picture!) OUR STORY OUR VALUES OUR CULTURE OUR AWARDS OUR TEAM – OUR STORY STARTS WITH SERVING YOU – There is one simple, fundamental truth at the heart of everything we do at JMARK: nothing we do is about us; it’s about you. The services we provide only matter because they make your company more secure and help you increase profits and growth. Read on to learn more about our culture and values– including our “People First, Technology Second” philosophy– and how those things bring value to your business and increase the velocity of your success. WE’LL ARM YOU WITH THE TOOLS TO SURGE FORWARD. JMARK was formed in 1988, and even thirty years ago it was clear that bad technology can decrease collaboration, reduce productivity, decrease morale, and ultimately increase costs and decrease profits. So we have made it our mission to give you the tools to get more things done more efficiently. When you have the right tools and support, you can grow more quickly, with fewer resources. Your employees collaborate better, productivity increases, and employees are happier and more satisfied with their work environment. In turn, this reduces costs and increases profits. And that’s when you begin to maximize business growth speed up the velocity of your business success. BREAK FREE FROM THE STATUS QUO AND BREAK OUT OF THE PACK It’s easy to get stuck. Many organizations have so many things on their plate that there is no time or energy to figure out how to move forward. So you settle in a pattern of accepting a less-than-ideal state of the business. Unfortunately, this creates a downward-spiral for your organization. No progressing means it’s easier for competitors to pass you by. But when you have technology that is appropriately applied and expert strategic advice to go along with it, then you can take steps to reduce stress, leave stale tactics behind, and get your business moving towards renewed success. At JMARK, we’ve never been content with just “getting by,” and we don’t think you should have to be either. GET IN FRONT; AND STAY THERE Too many businesses believe that being in good shape today means that all you need to do is just “maintain” and then you’ll still be good down the road. But in today’s cutthroat environment, staying in place means falling behind. You must implement proactive strategies that ensure customer loyalty and continued growth if you want to outpace the competition. Innovation is a competitive advantage. I.T. is a strategic tool that can help you get in front and stay there. At JMARK, it’s not just about helping you keep up. It’s about making sure you gain (then increase) a lead on everyone else. COMFORT IS GOOD; COMPLACENCY LEADS TO TROUBLE No one wants to believe bad things could happen to them. Whether it be a disaster, security breach, the loss of a key employee, or any other of a million different scenarios. But bad things happen. Whether you’re prepared or not. This is why complacency is so dangerous, because it convinces you that you don’t need to be prepared for the worst. Then, without warning, the status quo changes and you’re suddenly in big trouble. It’s for this reason that JMARK helps you put proactive plans and redundant systems in place to ensure the continuity of your business and its continued success. With JMARK by your side, you can feel comfortable that the odds of survival and success are in your favor. WE TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED, LEAST OF ALL THE SAFETY OF YOUR BUSINESS We’ve seen a lot of companies who think that if everything works when they turn it on, then all is good. Is this you? Do you ever consider the problems that could exist in the background of your technology? Are you blissfully unaware of the dangers that might be lurking in your network that could backfire and cause massive problems? If so, it’s probably because you’ve been conditioned to see I.T. as a reactive process, simply fixing stuff after it breaks, or defending against attacks when they occur. But at JMARK, we don’t believe in sitting by the sidelines waiting. So we give you proactive security and support. This means processes for active I.T. management, including ongoing monitoring and maintenance to identify and remediate dangers. And if trouble does appear, we give you a clear understanding of current risks and the plan to remediate them. PLAN TODAY AND CONQUER TOMORROW The single biggest problem we see with most company’s approach to I.T.? Technology is looked at as an expense and not as a catalyst to achieve organizational objectives. No one is planning ahead or paying attention to the impact of technology on future initiatives or growth. This type of shortsighted approach only results in holding your organization back when technology could be pushing you forward. But JMARK is not about to let you stay stuck in first gear. Our job is to help you create and implement a strategic technology growth plan. This includes a 5-year budget, quarterly and annual strategy meetings, detailed reporting of progress on inititatives, a hardware refresh plan, and more. Regardless of whether “tomorrow” is only a day away, or years down the road, by the time it arrives, you’ll already be looking toward the day after that! ONE MAN JUST CAN’T DO IT ALL ANYMORE The days of the I.T. jack-of-all-trades are gone. Technology is becoming both more broad and more specialized at the same time. Technology plays a part in almost every aspect of business operations these days. To build a strong, secure network, you need to have a deep knowledge of multiple, complex, ever-changing systems. In today’s I.T. environment, it is vital to have the skills, experience, industry knowledge, ongoing learning, and resources to stay abreast of all the ins-and-outs of technology. That’s why JMARK has spent years building a superstar team with all the certifications, resources, skills, specialized knowledge, experience, and tools to proactively maintain and secure your business. Our 85 technicians and award-winning leadership teams become your partners in I.T. and business success! MORE THAN SUPPORT: TEAMMATES, PARTNERS, AND ALLIES Finding and retaining good I.T. talent is becoming very hard for most businesses. The unemployment rate is dwindling, so experienced, knowledgeable techs have their choice of jobs. Because of abundant opportunities, they can demand higher pay and are often recruited away from rural areas and smaller towns. When you outsource part or all of your I.T. to JMARK, this is no longer a concern. We’ve built and refined our systems to work for your business, no matter what you need. We’ll work with your internal I.T. staff to redirect them to more strategic, hands-on priorities while we handle the mundane tasks. Or we can do it all for you, freeing up more of your resources for development and growth initiatives. Leave all your I.T. tasks to us and focus on what you are good at: running your business. REDUNDANCY MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD IN I.T. Redundancy can be technical: backups in your systems and configurations to keep your network steady, secure, and continuously available. But redundancy is also vital for your human technology resources too. No one wants to consider or contemplate it, but the truth is that bad things happen. What would you do if your I.T. provider suddenly went out of business? If your I.T. person was called up for military service; or wanted to take a vacation “off the grid”? Worse yet, what if your I.T. support unexpectedly passed away? We have seen all of these situations occur and result in a negative impact on a company’s ability to operate. That’s why redundancy is built in to all of our services. So you know you will have a resource from JMARK available when you need it. We’re here to suppor you– always! STAY SAFE IN A THREATENING WORLD In an I.T. landscape where new threats, risks, and vulnerabilities arise on a constant basis, how do you keep up? There is a world full of bad guys who never sleep, and never stop looking for ways to break into your system. Many smaller businesses, or those that exist in smaller towns and out-of-the-way regions, think that they are “off the radar” and not a target for cybercrime. This is dead wrong. Hackers are looking for the easiest targets they can find. That’s why JMARK puts a whole team of experts in your corner. It is our job to understand the dangers and prepare your technology to withstand them. We cover the risks and liabilities that can hurt your business, including security, backup, compliance, and policy management. You’ll also get ongoing strategic consultation to help you stay alert and informed. Move forward with confidence because JMARK has your back! IT’S ALL ABOUT PLANNING TO SUCCEED When I.T. is not structured properly, costs can skyrocket as problems arise and small bandages are applied that only serve to temporarily fix the issues. On top of this, your business also spends more in opportunity costs as employees struggle to remain productive within this type of immature I.T. environment, where disruptions are constant. We’ll help you put a strategic I.T. plan in place, designed to match your current and future needs. Spending becomes consistent, making it easy to plan and allocate for both unexpected trouble and future growth. You can also avoid many problems because you’re maintaining healthy equipment rather than fixing problems when they pop up. With this type of forward-thinking approach, the money you allocate to I.T. is an investment in future success instead of just a temporary fix. WE’VE GOT ALL THE DETAILS WORKED OUT, SO YOU GET THE BENEFITS WITHOUT THE STRESS We all fear change. Mostly because we’re afraid of the stress it will bring into our lives. How often do we remain in an imperfect situation simply because it’s familiar? The problem is, when it comes to I.T., this fear of change can lead to stagnation for your business, as well as increased risk, decreased productivity, decreased profits, unhappy employees, and a whole slew of other troubles. But changing I.T. providers does not have to be a painful situation. Over the years, we’ve seen too many good companies struggle, so we made it a priority to make onboarding with JMARK a smooth procedure. We’ve got an entire team dedicated to welcoming you aboard and processes in place to make sure everything gets done quickly and efficiently. We’ve worked out all the kinks so that joining with JMARK happens with minimal downtime to your employees and operations. Which means less stress for you, and a huge relief for your employees.

We know that excellence only occurs when we are also living up to the other five core values. FUN At JMARK, hard work and fun are not mutually exclusive.

We hope that every interaction we have, whether between coworkers, our partners, or our clients, leaves the other person with a smile on their face and a spring in their step. I.T. makes us happy, and we want everyone else to feel that joy as well. At JMARK, we understand that it is the people that enable a business to be great.

We ensure that our tools and solutions meet the needs of the people we serve, and not the other way around. With every device or user we support comes a tremendous responsibility.
