The Challenge

The client was looking for more than just an IT provider to "put out fires." Their organization needed a reliable partner who could provide consistent, long-term support—someone who could resolve recurring issues at the root, help guide IT decisions, and future-proof their infrastructure as their business evolved.


The Solution

ZATIS partnered with the client to transition from break-fix IT to a proactive, strategic approach. This involved:

  • Conducting a full IT audit to identify system bottlenecks and vulnerabilities.

  • Implementing a centralized helpdesk system for faster response times and accountability.

  • Performing root cause analysis on recurring issues—such as unstable VPN connections and printer network conflicts—and implementing permanent fixes.

  • Rolling out planned maintenance schedules and security patching routines to avoid unplanned downtime.

  • Providing executive-level consultations every quarter to align IT upgrades with long-term business goals.

Over time, ZATIS became an extension of the client's leadership team, helping with vendor negotiations, compliance preparation, and tech budgeting.

I've been a Co-founder, Founder, CEO, and serial entrepreneur since the age of 18. My mother always said I was the kid that was going to make it big and buy her a house someday. While not exactly my story, she raised me to believe strongly that if you believe it and can conceive it, then you can achieve it. I've become passionate for Christ and ensuring IT gets done right. Nowadays, it is critical for companies to keep up-to-date on Cybersecurity, keeping clients and their organization safe in today's Internet-driven environments.
