SMBs face the same expectations for productivity, commu- nications, and security. Customers notice when tech gets in the way. With evolving threats, SMBs face the same cybersecurity demands, driven by regula- tion, cyber insurance requirements, and contracts.

SMBs need produc- tive, secure, and affordable IT and services to thrive and grow. ese needs span their infrastructure, applications, cloud services, AI usage, and security. Finding a partner, however, is an uphill battle.
