Delivering IT Services for Olathe (Right in Our Own Backyard)
By Dave Warner, Systems Engineer at Cenetric
Olathe is the place to be in the Kansas City metro these days. From the upcoming Kansas City Chiefs headquarters and training facility to downtown revitalization projects to an all-abilities amusement park, there’s a lot of exciting development going on. Olathe businesses are definitely booming, and we love to see our hometown experiencing so much growth.
Whether you have a small business in Olathe or an enormous operation, you’re going to have technology needs as you see your own growth. So often businesses think they only need IT services when there’s a problem, but there’s a lot that managed IT services providers like Cenetric can do to prevent problems or just make your daily work more efficient.
Getting Olathe businesses the IT help they need
We’ve been located in Olathe for more than a decade, and we love working with other Olathe businesses (and not just because the commute is short).
For instance, we’ve helped churches like Blue Valley Baptist Church be more agile and flexible in their operations. Seeking to reduce the costs and inconvenience associated with their on-premises servers, Blue Valley Baptist reached out to Cenetric for help.
Our team moved the church to a cloud server, as well as migrated all their server-based applications to web-based solutions. We also moved all their local workstations away from traditional Active Directory to a cloud-based device management and user authentication system.
These transitions empowered the Blue Valley Baptist team to do their work more easily from anywhere, whether that’s from home in Kansas City or at a mission site in Kenya. They operate more securely wherever they might be with modern security features every Olathe entity should have, like multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and risky sign-in detection algorithms.
We’ve also helped the Olathe Chamber migrate from their on-premises email server to Office 365. The chamber was facing an IT conundrum many other organizations do: Replace an end-of-life on-premises server or move to the cloud? They opted for the cloud, giving them a lower-cost solution that’s more secure and needs less maintenance.
Speaking of the chamber, our team members are regular attendees of their periodic IT Roundtable events, where various IT leaders across the city come together to discuss potential outreach programs or ways we can assist the community as a whole. We value being involved in our city and supporting other businesses as they grow.
