Leveraging Microsoft Azure to Take Customers Into the Cloud Cost Effectively

Leading Managed Technology Services Provider Helps Local Companies Transition From Outdated Servers to the Cloud CHANDLER, AZ – Imagine Technology Group, a leading managed technology services provider (MTSP), is utilizing Microsoft Azure to help small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) transition from outdated IT hardware to the cloud. With products like Windows 7 reaching expiration, along with the servers they operate on, Imagine Technology Group has been proactively moving companies with end-of-life Microsoft products to Microsoft Azure to keep them current with modern business needs. Many business owners have traditionally relied on on-premise servers for data storage, but this method has become outdated with the rise of cloud technology. The tech industry has largely embraced the cloud, and future innovations will incorporate cloud solutions. On-premise servers are not only outdated but pose significant security risks to businesses. Without regular updates and upgrades, they lead to slower performance, while businesses around the world are speeding up. In short, it’s no longer practical for business owners to invest in aging technology. “Unfortunately, on-premise just doesn’t make fiscal sense anymore,” said Mark Lasinis, CIO/VP of Technology at Imagine Technology Group. “While most businesses are expanding and need scalable hardware, cloud servers cater to a mobile workforce and provide secure data access. On-premise has fallen behind. Our customers’ businesses can’t afford inefficiencies, so we’ve been proactive in guiding them through this transition. We’ve been migrating our customers to Azure and will continue doing so to keep them ahead of the curve and, more importantly, profitable.” Cloud servers through Microsoft Azure offer businesses the benefit of regularly updated hardware, ensuring data security and integrity. Azure also addresses the growing demand for secure, mobile data access across multiple locations. With Millennials and Gen Z entering the workforce, this trend is only set to increase. Lasinis further explained, “At some point, owning on-site servers will be like having a coin-operated telephone in the lobby for your employees. How can your top employees perform at their best with obsolete technology like that?” Just as older technologies, like fax machines, have become inefficient and costly, on-premise servers need to be updated immediately. Imagine Technology Group has positioned itself and its clients ahead of the curve, ensuring their customers remain productive, efficient, and profitable through technology like Microsoft Azure. ABOUT IMAGINE TECHNOLOGY GROUP Imagine Technology Group (ITG) is an Arizona-owned and operated company offering customers a single point of contact for all their office technology needs.

Automated Business Solutions Protects Customers from Data Breaches and Cyberthreats with Password Management

Leading MTSP Shares Most Common Cause of Cyberattacks and How to Secure Any Organization CHANDLER, AZ – Imagine Technology Group, a leading managed technology services provider (MTSP), is actively protecting customers from one of the top causes of cyberattacks and data breaches—weak or reused passwords. According to a recent Verizon Data Breach report, “80% of data breaches are the result of poor or reused passwords.” With employees now tasked with keeping company networks secure, the average employee is responsible for managing 191 passwords across their digital life. As a result, 66% of people reuse the same passwords across multiple websites, creating vulnerabilities and contributing to the recent surge in cybercrime. In response, Imagine Technology Group is providing state-of-the-art password management technology to small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in the region. “Businesses are beginning to understand the growing disparity between the vast resources that cybercriminals have and the protections in place for unguarded organizations,” said Mark Lasinis, CIO/VP of Technology at Imagine Technology Group. “We advise every customer to implement password management software. Through an extremely simple, scalable solution, companies can instantly eliminate 80% of cyberthreats facing their organization. The risk reduction compared to the cost makes this a clear choice for any business,” added Lasinis. Beyond improved security, password management software also increases productivity by reducing employee downtime. According to Gartner, “40% of all help desk calls are related to password issues, such as resetting forgotten passwords.” A password management solution can eliminate this costly interruption. Imagine Technology Group’s password management solution offers business owners and employees peace of mind with features like a password vault, a unique password generator, and multi-factor authentication for added security. Additionally, businesses can gain insights from password behavior, security reports, and login reports to ensure compliance and tighten security. “While we’re aware of our bias, the risk of leaving a business unprotected from password theft far outweighs the rewards of implementing a password manager. The cost is minimal compared to the immense value this simple yet crucial IT solution offers businesses of all sizes. We feel a responsibility to advocate strongly for this because our core mission is to keep businesses protected, productive, and profitable,” concluded Lasinis.

Why Multifunctional Printers and Copiers May Work Best for Your Company

Why Your Business Needs Multifunctional Printers and Copiers Businesses thrive on smooth operations and well-functioning equipment. While computers, servers, and internet connectivity are essential for transferring and processing data, one thing that often gets overlooked is the importance of documentation. Despite the digital era, many business aspects require tangible, printed documents. That’s where efficient printers and copiers come in. While solo printers get the job done, multifunctional printers and copiers can significantly boost your business efficiency. Wondering how? Let’s explore why multifunction printers (MFPs) are a game-changer for your company’s productivity. 1. Space Saver Offices can easily get cluttered with documents, equipment, and files. Adding solo printers, copiers, and scanners to the mix can make things worse, taking up even more valuable space. A multifunction printer combines all these tasks—printing, copying, scanning, and even faxing—into a single compact unit, freeing up more room in your workspace. So instead of multiple bulky devices, you’ll have one streamlined solution that simplifies your office layout. 2. Lower Operating Costs Solo printers and copiers might seem like a smart purchase at first, but their ongoing costs can quickly add up. Each piece of equipment requires its own supplies, maintenance, and repairs, not to mention multiple service teams for upkeep. With a multifunctional printer, you reduce the number of machines needing maintenance, thus lowering your overall operating expenses. Additionally, fewer machines mean lower energy consumption, reducing your power bill and your company’s carbon footprint. 3. A Controlled Print Environment Managing multiple printing devices across different teams can lead to confusion, wasted supplies, and increased costs. A multifunction printer provides a centralized print environment where every task—printing, copying, scanning—goes through one device. This allows businesses to monitor printing activity more effectively, assess usage, and control costs. The centralized system also enhances security, as it is easier to track who is accessing and printing sensitive documents. 4. Better Document Management In the past, printers needed to be physically connected to computers to print and scan. That’s no longer the case with multifunction printers. These devices allow users to connect from any device, including mobile phones and tablets, making it easier to manage documents on the go. Whether you need to print from your phone or scan to the cloud, MFPs make the process seamless and more efficient. 5. Efficient Memory and Storage Many multifunction printers come with built-in storage, allowing you to store frequently used documents for quick access. This is a huge advantage for businesses that handle large volumes of documents, as you can keep important files stored securely for future use. This memory capability ensures your workflow continues smoothly without constantly needing to reload or rescan documents. Why Choose ITG for Your Printer and Copier Needs? Different businesses have different documentation needs, and we at ITG understand that. That’s why we offer a variety of multifunctional printers and copiers tailored to meet your business requirements. Our range of equipment allows you to choose the right printer or copier based on your workflow, volume, and office size. What sets us apart is not just our selection but our outstanding support. We provide instant maintenance and repair services whenever needed, ensuring your operations stay uninterrupted. If you’re in search of a printer or copier that will boost productivity and save costs, let Imagine Technology Group (ITG) guide you in selecting the perfect solution for your evolving business needs. Contact Us Today!Let us help you find the perfect multifunction printer or copier that meets your needs. Reach out to our team of experts, and we’ll assist you in choosing and maintaining the right solution for your business. Businesses, to keep booming, require a lot of efficiently working machines. While computers, CPUs, and good internet connectivity along with other machinery efficiently receive and send data, do you know what is essential? The ability to document all this sent and received information. Documentation is an integral part of business, and there are some aspects which only can be read when on paper. Every company requires efficient printers and copiers to do the job. While solo printers are worth it, do you know that multifunction copiers and printers will increase your business efficiency tenfold? Don’t believe us? Then read on why multifunction printers are beneficial for the productivity of any business below. Why Having Multifunctional Printers and Copiers at Your Company Works to Your Benefit Having multifunctional printers and copiers in an office is the smart thing to do. This is because the newly designed technology is not only efficient but works in your favor in more ways than you can imagine. Saves you Space In a busy workspace, things already seem to overflow, there might be files upon files on workers’ desks, but other parts will look seemingly busy too. In such situations, the best thing to do is to buy equipment that takes up a lot less space and gives better results. Buying a multifunctional printer and copier is the best thing to do. Why? Well, solo printers and scanners will do their jobs but will hoard up space separately. While a multifunctional printer and copier will do the same job through single equipment while simultaneously taking a lot less space than their solo counterparts. So convenient, right? Lowered Operating Costs Hoarding space is not only what individual or solo equipment does; their costs add up to be even more than you imagine. Consider having an office with a bunch of individual equipment for printing and scanning. Each machine will require paper, ink, maintenance charges, spare parts and service teams. All this together will add up to a hefty amount. So why go on loss when you can take a much more innovative approach? Setting up multifunctional printers and copiers will help you get all prints and scans through one machine. When the time for maintenance and repair arrives, only one or two pieces of equipment will be what you need to fix. This consequently will save you a lot of money.

Imagine Technology Group Leverages Powerful Artificial Intelligence Anti-Phishing Technology to Keep Email Inboxes Safe

Leading MTSP Shares Why Email Is an Easy Way to Destroy a Company’s Network CHANDLER, AZ – Imagine Technology Group is protecting businesses with their innovative new AI (Artificial Intelligence) anti-phishing technology which is designed to protect businesses from cyber attacks through the most prevalent tactic, email phishing. Phishing is the fraudulent practice of sending emails purporting to be from reputable companies in order to get individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers or even company data. Business owners have been hearing about the substantial increase in cyber crime in recent years. Many of these attacks successfully breaching major infrastructure systems and gaining mainstream media exposure (while some cyber criminals prefer to target larger organizations). Many of those organizations have responded by investing heavily into cyber security solutions to fortify their defenses to such a high level that they become less appealing targets. As those larger companies form a stronger “barrier to breach,” cyber criminals have shifted their focus to smaller businesses who possess very weak infrastructure and little to no cyber security. Imagine Technology Group is taking a stand against these threats by deploying new AI-based solutions, like their anti-phishing technology, to protect the inboxes, identities and futures of small businesses. “Unfortunately, human error is one of the leading reasons that a business is affected by cyber crime,” stated Mark Lasinis, CIO/VP of Technology of Imagine Technology Group. “While employee education and awareness training is always beneficial, after protecting SMBs for years, we’ve found that one of the fastest, most effective and easy-to-implement ways to minimize organizational risk significantly is to limit employee access to phishing emails in the first place. When you automatically filter out suspicious-looking emails from ever reaching your employees you remove the possibility of human error altogether. One of the reasons an AI-powered solution is so important here is because your app is constantly learning from the aggregate data, becoming smarter and more efficient every second that you have it turned on. We generally explain the difficult to quantify, yet unmistakably powerful capability of AI by asking people if they’ve ever played chess against their computer on the ‘Hard’ level. How many times have you beaten it on “Expert” mode. That’s basically what our cyber security solutions are all focused on achieving for our customers.” It turns out that the data supports Imagine Technology Group’s approach. According to Accenture, “43% percent of cyber attacks are aimed at small businesses, but only 14% are prepared to defend themselves.” From a business owner’s standpoint, the risk simply outweighs the reward. Most organizations (60%) go out of business within 6 months if they haven’t implemented some type of AI, according to Inc.com. Fortunately, the costs to secure your organization are nominal in comparison to the liability they instantly eliminate. Not to mention the “peace of mind” that business owners gain by addressing this directly. While phishing is the most common form of attack it’s also prudent to ensure that your cyber security solution also protects you from malware, data loss, anomalies, and other methods of cyber attack. “Another key differentiator to look for in any malware or phishing defense tool you want to use is to make sure that your defense system is one that is invisible to hackers. You want to add in as many layers of security as you can to increase the amount of friction a hacker must endure to breach your company. This increases their likelihood of just looking elsewhere for a weaker infrastructure to target. However, each organization has different risk factors, budget considerations and levels of exposure, all of which must be tailored to fit the organization’s needs in the most appropriate manner,” closed Lasinis.

Imagine Technology Group – The Best Cloud-Based Service Provider in Business

Embrace the New Era of Technology with Cloud-Based Services As technology evolves rapidly, so do the challenges of managing and securing critical business data. While traditional methods like storing data on hard drives or other hardware devices might seem reliable, unforeseen circumstances can lead to data loss, leaving businesses vulnerable. What’s the modern solution to this problem? Cloud-Based Services. What Are Cloud-Based Services? Cloud-based services allow companies to securely store and manage their data on remote servers accessible via the internet. This enables employees to access company data from anywhere, at any time, making it a seamless and flexible solution for today’s dynamic work environment. Many businesses have already adopted cloud-based solutions for their data storage and management needs, and it’s time for your company to consider this modern approach. Here’s why cloud-based services can revolutionize your data management. 1. Anywhere, Anytime Accessibility Storing data on hardware restricts access to a single device or location. With cloud-based services, your data is stored on an online server, meaning you can access it from any location or device with an internet connection. Whether you’re working from the office, at home, or on the go, your data is always just a click away. 2. No More Hardware Hassles By transitioning to cloud storage, your reliance on physical hardware diminishes. This eliminates the need for regular hardware maintenance, reducing the risk of malfunctions or system crashes that could compromise your data. With cloud services, your data is securely stored and managed online, with dedicated service teams ensuring smooth operations. 3. Predictable Budgeting One of the most significant benefits of cloud-based services is cost predictability. Unlike hardware, which can be expensive to maintain and upgrade, cloud services offer flexible pricing plans tailored to your company’s needs. Your service provider will work with you to establish a budget and storage plan that fits your business requirements. This way, you receive top-notch data security without breaking the bank. 4. Enhanced Business Connectivity Cloud services improve overall business efficiency. By storing data in a centralized, easily accessible location, employees across your organization can collaborate more effectively. Data retrieval becomes faster, and processes run smoother, allowing your business to operate seamlessly and improve productivity. This enhanced connectivity helps companies meet customer demands more quickly and efficiently, driving better results. 5. No More Lost Files Storing files on hardware can lead to potential risks, including file loss due to system crashes or breaches. With cloud storage, these risks are minimized, as your data is regularly backed up and protected against external threats. This ensures that your most important files are always safe and accessible, giving you peace of mind and security. Why Choose Imagine Technology Group for Your Cloud Services? When it comes to choosing the right cloud service provider, Imagine Technology Group (ITG) stands out for its experience and customer-centered approach. With over 150 years of combined experience, ITG has helped numerous firms securely store and manage their data through tailored cloud solutions. Our services offer easy access to data, budget-friendly pricing, and a commitment to security, ensuring your business’s data is always safe and accessible. If you’re ready to move your business forward with cloud storage but are unsure where to start, ITG can provide the expertise and solutions you need. Our clients’ rave reviews and successful experiences speak for themselves, and we look forward to helping you transform your business with cloud services. Contact Us TodayIf you’re ready to experience the benefits of cloud-based services, don’t hesitate to reach out to Imagine Technology Group. Let us help you make the switch to a more secure, efficient, and cost-effective way to manage your data. The new era of technology is moving quickly, and drawbacks are emerging quickly. While storing and securing data in hard drives and other hardware is easy, there are times when this data can be lost because of certain unseen circumstances. So, what do you do in such situations? Well, you can switch to a modern solution this new era of technology requires. What is it? Well, it is called cloud-based services. What are Cloud-Based Services? Cloud Services are companies that provide a cloud platform that can hold your company’s data quite efficiently. Not only this, but the services are efficient enough to withhold data and give your employees access to all the data from wherever they are. Cloud-Based Services is trending because of the impressive features they boast, and many companies have adopted them. If you are a company that still uses hardware to store its data, it’s about time you switch to better technology. Here are some of the reasons why switching to cloud-based services and integrating your laptop and desktop will help you in many different ways. Gives Accessibility Anywhere, Anytime While sorting data in your computer’s hardware restricts you from accessing it from only that particular computer, the cloud-based service does give you a freer hand. Your data will be uploaded to an online cloud server with cloud-based services. Hence, you can access your data from anywhere, whenever you want. No More Hardware Problems Now that your data will be uploaded online with cloud services, there is no need for you to maintain your hardware. So, you can get rid of your hardware or free yourself from any problems which come along with it. Data on the cloud will be secured, and your service team will ensure that there remains no faulty error whatsoever. Predictable Budgeting The best part about cloud-based services is predictable budgeting. While hardware’s hard to carry and expensive to maintain, the data on the cloud can be allocated at a much lower price. Your service company will discuss your demands and your budget with you. Then they will meet you in the mid-line and deliver you the best quality data security and storage system within your price range. This is one of the best things about cloud data storage, that not only is your data secured, but it also is allocated and maintained depending on your

Imagine Technology Group Leverages Latest Technology to Manage Networks with Apple Devices

Leading Managed Technology Services Provider Protects IT Networks that Rely on Apple/Mac Products CHANDLER, AZ – Imagine Technology Group, a leading managed technology services provider (MTSP), announced that the company is now helping businesses securely manage their Apple devices, Mac OS, iPads, and iPhones with a cloud-based managed IT services tool. Imagine Technology Group’s investment in sophisticated software solutions allows the company to efficiently monitor, manage, and secure Apple devices, including laptops, desktops, servers, and tablets that rely on Apple or Mac OS. This capability is especially crucial as more organizations transition to fully remote or hybrid workplaces, which require more stringent security measures and greater flexibility. While Apple products are widespread in the modern workplace, particularly in creative industries that demand rapid innovation, IT companies have often been hesitant to offer technical support for Apple-related devices due to the lack of suitable tools for their safe, efficient, and robust utilization. However, Imagine Technology Group now has the ability to streamline any IT network, not just those based on Windows/PC, to provide greater efficiency and security. This means that creative industries can now access the high-level network security expected from their IT partner without compromising the functionality needed for innovation. “What’s really exciting about this is the simplicity of the back-end. Our solution simplifies the monitoring, management, and continual optimization required to maintain Apple devices at a very high level,” stated Mark Lasinis, CIO/VP of Technology at Imagine Technology Group. “Our team can seamlessly manage and secure all Apple devices within our customers’ organizations. This will result in better-maintained IT systems, increased performance, and a boost in productivity across the board while addressing cybersecurity concerns. We’re excited to deliver unparalleled IT security, faster networks, more productive staff, and ultimately increased profits for our Apple-oriented customers,” concluded Lasinis. Through this partnership, Imagine Technology Group can assist SMBs in deploying new devices in less than five minutes, using automated device enrollment and onboarding for end users. Once deployed, these devices will be proactively monitored for issues, with automatic remediation to prevent downtime—meeting the expectations of users who depend on reliable technology. This is essential for organizations that lack the time or resources for enterprise-grade IT management but still require proactive, preventative solutions that enhance over time without exposing the organization to unnecessary risks. Additionally, while productivity and security improvements are clear advantages for SMBs across all industries, Imagine Technology Group can now ensure compliance for industries with specific IT standards that companies must follow. “We’re excited to offer a truly robust IT management solution for our Apple clients,” commented Lasinis. “This will open the floodgates for more creativity to be unleashed in any organization that wants to benefit from Apple’s design-oriented devices.” ABOUT IMAGINE TECHNOLOGY GROUPImagine Technology Group (ITG), an Arizona-owned and operated company, provides its customers with a single point of contact for all their office technology needs.
