LARAMIE – A managed service provider company, Integrated Computer Consulting, better known as ICC, is forging business partnerships with small to medium Laramie businesses to protect owners and customers from technology issues and cyber security threats.
Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, ICC President Kirk Bane explained the importance of businesses being both technologically protected as well as tech savvy in an increasingly digital world. Bane said smaller businesses especially can often be at risk when it comes to navigating new technologies and threats. In a town like Laramie, these issues affect not only the businesses themselves, but also employees, customers and even the community.
“I think it’s absolutely critical [to have tech exposure] for two reasons. One is to protect their businesses, which is also their livelihoods and the people that work for them and the customers that they’re servicing,” Bane shared. “And [second] that they utilize new tools that are going to prove very beneficial for their organizations.
“We’re really paying attention to the details, and helping them understand what they have, what things are most at risk, and what the options are for resolving those issues,” he added.
These tech and data issues are especially important for local businesses and ICC clients such as Cathedral Home, Laramie Regional Airport, several accounting and medical services in the city, and more.
Vice President of Sales Shaun Bullock is a Wyoming native who was born and raised in Cheyenne and went on to spend some time living in Laramie. He shared that one of the major issues smaller businesses often need help navigating are cloud services and added that this is one example in which technology is only becoming more difficult for average business owners to deal with independently.
“We verify that the data is there, we can actually run backups, and not only run backups, we can also verify that the backups are working in case of emergency when you need them. I think it’s just becoming more and more evolved, and Laramie’s really appreciating ICC coming in and taking some of the burden off its owners,” Bullock said.
Bullock also spoke to the importance of the “Code of the West” for Wyomingites, which extends largely to business practices and preferences with their Laramie partnerships.
“If you say you’re going to do something, you get it done,” he said. “That handshake, and meeting people face to face, and looking them in the eye, giving them your word, I think really resonates in Wyoming, but in Laramie especially.”
