20+ Years Making IT Delivery Safer and Easier
Ed recalls, “When Sagacent came into existence, many IT partners were overpromising and underdelivering. They weren’t built with the right mix of staff and technology to deliver the great service small businesses needed to be safe and secure. Instead of receiving the reassurance of comprehensive protection, they were left exposed. I saw this as a critically needed service for SMBs and a great business opportunity for Sagacent.”
As technology has evolved, so have the challenges companies face. Fast forward to 2006, and the importance of IT management and cybersecurity has become increasingly clear. Organizations have recognized that they stand to lose a great deal if they neglect these areas. In light of this, Sagacent has adapted its mission to focus on providing world-class cybersecurity and risk mitigation solutions tailored to the unique needs of its SMB clientele.
With an enhanced knowledge base, comprehensive security offerings, and a customer-centric approach, Sagacent has established itself as the go-to partner for SMBs navigating the intricate and often bewildering IT landscape. We aim to help businesses avoid the pitfalls of potential IT disasters, ensuring that they remain secure, compliant, and resilient.
