About Rick Walsh

I am part of a team that helps IT professionals understand, deploy, and optimize Microsoft365 licensing and its associated platforms. The move to M365 and Azure consists of two difficult hurdles: how to deploy it, and how to manage it. My team completely removes the first hurdle by deploying it for you with a slightly-tailored but methodical approach, and then teaches you how to manage it, all the while ensuring you aren’t paying for licensing you don’t need. We then stay by your side with Level 2, US-based, 24x7 support and can provide ongoing IT and end-user training. My other area of focus is enabling IT professionals in medium-sized businesses to affordably provide 24x7 network security monitoring and remediation for their employer’s business. The days of “we can’t afford security” are over, as well are sleepless nights wondering if your network is being hacked. As a SOPHOS Platinum Partner, we offer peace-of-mind that I like to call “sleep-as-a-service”. Please reach out to me via my contact information and let us help you do this right the first time.

   My strong technical background and 18 years of experience in the IT reseller community allows me to custom-tailor data center solutions for my clients, whether in the cloud or on-prem.
