IT and Managed Services with a Different Spin
Just the IT basics? If you are only looking or someone to manage the nuts and bolts of your IT, we are likely not the match you are looking for.
Seeking a Strategic IT Ally? Let’s connect. We partner with you – collaboratively developing the big picture while passionately delivering on the technical details.
We Do IT Different We prioritize your vision, mission and goals. We take the time to understand your challenges and work with you to design IT strategies and solutions that align with and advance your business. Beyond the daily IT tasks, we engage in your strategic planning and meet regularly to ensure your IT trajectory is always aligned with your business.
Our Why
We believe that a businesses’ greatest asset is its people. When people are provided with an inspirational culture and powerful tools, the stage is set for a business to maximize its potential. We believe that technology exists as a tool to empower this to happen.
We believe that the IT industry has failed to serve businesses due to a fundamental disconnect between how IT has been delivered and a businesses’ needs. Either IT has been treated as a commodity or the answer to every problem…either way, it is improperly positioned to fulfill its purpose.
We Do IT Different by working with our clients to build technical solutions, where they make sense, that empower people to maximize a businesses’ potential.
Our Values
At JNR Networks, we value Integrity, Impact, and Growth. We believe that something incredible happens when you have personal and professional integrity, while also focusing on having a positive impact. When you do this, things begin to grow!
We see integrity as two distinct, but related things. The first is assessing a person’s character and ensure that there is consistency between what they say and what they do…ensure they are a person of their word. The second is similar, but more related to objects and systems, instead of a person. We value objects and systems that do what they say they will do, as well as integrate well with other objects and systems.
Integrity is a nice concept, but until it is put into action, it sits on the shelf, collecting dust and cannot have impact. We believe that we are designed to do more than have great ideas and philosophies. We are designed to put them into action with consistency and integrity so that we can have a positive impact on those that we have the honor of working with and serving. As such, all of our work filters through an evaluation of its impact…if it won’t have a positive impact, we set it aside.
We see growth as the natural result of doing the right things for the right people for the right reasons. When we do impactful things, with integrity, growth is a natural result.
What Keeps You Up At Night? We Solve for That.
We might not be able to help with your teenager’s late-night curfew breaches, your neighbor’s all-night parties, the political climate, or fears of an economic downturn…so, what do we solve for? We help with what matters in your business.
At our core, we build IT solutions tailored to meet and solve your business needs. We are an IT firm that delivers Manages Services, but think of us as a Business Consulting Firm with a specialization in IT. While we can’t solve every problem that keeps you up at night, we work alongside you to create solutions that address your biggest concerns.
Based on feedback from our current clients, here are some of the questions we’ve helped them address:
1. Am I going to get hacked?
The reality is, hackers are constantly attempting to breach systems, and the odds are significant that at some point, you will get hacked. The real question is whether you’ll know when it happens and how quickly you can shut it down. If a hacker gets in but doesn’t have enough time to cause “detonate”, you avoid a breach, which is the primary concern. We work with our clients to assess their risk tolerance and exposures, then build IT systems that match their business needs. From simple solutions to DoD-level compliance, we offer a range of options to fit various needs, budgets, and risk tolerances.
2. How do I build better efficiency in my business?
Improving efficiency is a journey, and we’re here to walk it with you. On the simpler side, we streamline and optimize your IT systems to ensure optimal uptime and efficiency. We also provide training for your staff to enhance their proficiency using your systems. On a more complex level, we collaborate with you to explore current processes and identify ways, both technical and non-technical, to optimize them further.
3. Am I spending too much (or too little) on IT?
We work with you to understand your business needs, risk profile, and growth plans. From there, we develop a strategic plan that aligns your IT with your business objectives, attaching value and cost metrics to that plan. This way, we all know what we’re spending money on, why we’re doing it, and how different choices (like faster growth or varying risk tolerance) will impact your business and costs.
4. I don’t love my IT but I’m afraid to make changes.
We understand that change can be daunting. That’s why we offer a thorough assessment of your current IT systems and utilization. If your system is great, we’ll let you know. If it needs improvement, we’ll tell you that too. Regardless of our findings, we’ll educate you on what we see, why it matters, and how you can make informed decisions without having to understand all the technical details.
5. Will my IT be able to keep up with my business plans?
Without a strategic plan, no. However, with a strategic plan, your IT should not only keep up with but also drive your business plans. Every decision we make regarding your IT systems is based on a deep understanding of and alignment with your business’ purpose and goals. We meet with you quarterly to reassess this alignment and make adjustments.
6. How do I deal with compliance and regulations without tanking my business?
We get it—compliance and regulatory requirements can seem complex, confusing and burdensome. We’ve worked with various frameworks and have found that, with skilled engineering and business acumen, we can navigate most requirements in ways that optimize and enhance rather than hinder business operations. While there are costs associated with compliance, we find that many requirements offer flexibility, allowing us to implement solutions that best fit your business needs. This is where we make IT serve your business, not the other way around.
