Our Why

JNR Networks was founded in 2005 by husband and wife duo, James and Natalie Riley. From the start, JNR was built with heart and passion to serve people. We think of ourselves as a Business Consulting Firm that specializes in IT. While we handle typical IT tasks (such as procurement, design, implementation, help desk, lifecycle planning, etc.), we bring a rare business acumen to the IT industry. This competency allows us to engage our clients at a deeper level, focusing on their business needs, culture, and beyond, independent of IT. Our solutions often involve IT but are rarely exclusively IT solutions. More often than not, our implementations also touch on HR policy, business culture, strategic initiatives, operational processes, and more.

IT systems need maintenance, including applying patches, cleaning up unnecessary files, and more. We started doing this back in the 90s and called it “Ongoing Maintenance.” Now, marketing has coined it “Managed Services.”

Even more critical than the technical maintenance of IT systems is maintaining business alignment. We do this through regularly scheduled meetings with business leadership to ensure that we remain tuned in to the business needs and can continuously make the necessary course corrections to maintain that alignment.

"Our team is made up of people who are not just doing IT as a job. They are passionate about the technology and people we are able to serve — and we are committed to this posture well into the future."
"We Do IT Different by working with our clients to build technical solutions — where they make sense — that empower people to maximize a business's potential."

Our Mission

IT That Serves Your Business Goals

We think of ourselves as a Business Consulting Firm that happens to specialize in IT. Our solutions often involve IT, but they are rarely exclusively IT solutions — they also touch HR policy, business culture, strategic initiatives, operational processes, and more.

Business Alignment

All IT systems need to align with the needs of the business and the people who use them — first and foremost.

Solid IT Engineering

We combat complexity and design systems to be as simple yet capable as possible — making them stable, supportable, and secure.

Ongoing Partnership

Quarterly business meetings ensure IT stays aligned to your evolving goals and course-corrections happen proactively.

Our Values

Three Values.
One Mission.

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!

Integrity

Integrity has two distinct, but related facets. The first relates to a person’s character, ensuring that there is consistency between what they say and what they do. The second focuses on how objects and systems properly do what they are designed to do and interoperate with other systems in a cohesive fashion so the entire system operates as a unified whole.

Impact

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.

Growth

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.
