Get Started

All Inclusive IT Support

Unlimited support along with continuous monitoring and management of the infrastructure makes this a “set it and forget it” solution for professional organizations.

Managed Services Agreement

Covering unlimited maintenance of the entire organization including all users, all sites and all equipment, Managed Services Agreement customers enjoy the easiest and most manageable IT solution in the industry.

Supplemental Managed Services Agreement

Designed for companies that already have an in-house IT support organization, Supplemental Managed Services Agreements provide many of the same benefits as the standard MSA.  The difference is that Bluebonnet Technologies can provide an escalation point, take over only specific responsibilities or just be extra hands.

Managed Backups & Disaster Recovery

Regardless of what your backing up, why, where it’s coming from, where it’s going or how long you need to retain it, Bluebonnet’s managed backup and disaster recovery solution will keep you safe.

Onsite Backups

Utilizing the latest in destination agnostic backups, we can back your data up to your SAN or NAS, to server attached storage at your remote facility or even to tape.

Offsite Backup

No complex inhouse storage infrastructure? No problem! From ultra inexpensive cold archive storage to keep your opex down to high performance redundant solid state storage, we work with most of the big storage providers including AWS, Google and Azure.

Disaster Recovery

We understand that the only thing less useful than no backup is a backup that can’t be used when the time arrives.  To that end, we routinely do test restores to provide the utmost in confidence that your data backups are always good to go.

System Security & Cybersecurity

A multi-tiered approach is the only way to effectively combat a multi-tiered threat.  Specifically, special attention must be paid to infrastructure security, endpoint defense and user behavior.

Infrastructure Security

Next generation firewalls, managed networking appliances and up to date hardware are all critical to infrastructure security, but the most important security tool at the infrastructure level is experience.  The best pieces of equipment do nothing without configurations driven by years of lessons learned “in the trenches.”  

End Point Defense

Using only the best anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spyware and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution is a key element to providing the best protection possible against the most common infiltration point.  This is even more true in a post-COVID world where Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and work from home environments are more common than ever.

User Behavior

Easily the least secure and most often exploited part of any environment are the users.  To that end, phishing training, dark web monitoring and recurring user training are all core pieces of Bluebonnet Technologies’ wholistic security approach.

Data Networking Management

As the core piece to any enterprise communication environment, the monitoring, configuration and performance of the data/voice network are of critical importance.  

Monitoring

Due to it’s relative obscurity from most users, the monitoring of the network is often the first indication of equipment failure, service outages and security incidents.  So, the monitoring of your organizations’ network from the edge to the end point are heavily concentrated on.

Configuration

The only difference between a well-functioning, secure and net-positive network and one that is a constant point of frustration and worry is always (or at least often) a correct configuration.  Typically, the type of equipment that provide the best of all of the above, require configurations that aren’t present out of the box. 

Performance

General performance is the aspect of a company’s network that is most often identified by the users and customers.  But, maintaining that performance by way of software updates, configuration changes or equipment refresh is much less intuitive and often requires a knowledgable technology partner to keep your company doing what it does best.

Unified Communications

In today’s business environment, having a phone number that rings a single persons desk is never enough.  Customers expect robust telecommunications functionality, secure email, etc. and employees expect to be able to interact with customers anytime, from anywhere and on any device securely.

Email

Whether you are a physician trying to communicate with a patient or an attorney trying to send critical documents to your client, email is the communication method that drives business in the 21st century. As such you should be able to rely on your email whether it’s in the cloud, on premises or a mix of the two.

Phone

Voice communication in a way that works with your business and is reliable, remains one of the most imporant parts of business and thus not to be left to people without significant backgroud in the technology.  It doesn’t matter if you have a standalone cloud solution like Vonage, 8×8, Spectrum, etc., an on premise solution like 3CX, Avaya, Shoretel, Cisco, etc. or an integrated cloud solution like Webex, MS Teams, etc., we can provide state of the industry functionality from any of them.

Employee Use

None of the benefits of the best communication suites matter if employees can’t communicate with customers effectively.  Bluebonnet Technologies can either facilitate the proper function of your current solution or help you build one that will achieve your needs regardless of platform.

Auditing & Regulation Compliance

Publically traded companies and those in the medical, legal, and financial industries have very specific requirements regarding information technology processes and procedures.  Your technology partner should understand these requirements at least as well as you do.

Medical

With the medical industry being one of our core competencies, Bluebonnet Technologies is well versed in HIPAA, HITECH, Meaningful Use and many other regulations/guidlines that must be followed by many healthcare providers.

Legal

Especially considering the recent changes to rule 21a, technology performance is more imporant to law firms now than it ever was.  Bluebonnet Technogies is well versed in meeting this sort of business critical need from litigatigation support, to case management platforms to email platforms that can be relied on.

Financial and Public Companies

Whether you recently did an IPO and are concerned about Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, need your financial advisory practice to comply with GLBA or have a growing ecommerce aspect to your company and are concerned with PCI, Bluebonnet Technologies has done it before and can help your organization.

Cloud Services Management

Despite the many benefits of present day cloud services, migration, integration and configuration still present challenges that Bluebonnet Technologies is uniquely positioned to help you solve.

Migration

Typically the most complicated and daunting aspect of moving services to a cloud based environment is the initial migration.  Fortune 500 companies and SMBs alike often share this stuggle due to the sheer complexity of the migration and the various considerations surrounding the impact of such a move.  We have executed successul cloud migrations for both and are well versed in how to maximize cloud benefits while minimizing the impact on day-to-day operations.

Integration

What happens if not all of your organization’s services can move to the cloud or there is a business need to have a hybrid environment?  Let our experts help integrate cloud and on premises services in to a unified offering that gives employees, customers and the bottom line the best of both worlds.

Configuration

Whether you’re already in the cloud or  trying to move authentication, collaboration or even your entire infrastructure to the cloud, it will only be as good as the applied configuration. AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google and many other platforms all require unique expertise to guarantee the best possible experience and security from their environments.  The  experts at Bluebonnet Technologies can help to ensure the best possible outcome from the use of these cloud services. 

Virtual CIO Services

Typically a privilege of only the largest enterprises, a Chief Information Officer provides both operational oversight and strategic planning for an organization’s IT envrionment.  By leveraging state of the art Remote Monitoring and Mangement (RMM) technologies and industry best practices, vCIO Services provide the same benefits at a fraction of the cost.

Life Cycle Management

Neither software nor hardware should be considered perpetual assets.  However, as the largest IT operating expenses behind payroll, they also need to be planned and managed in the most efficient way possible with goal being to maximize productivity and maintain regulatory compliance while minimizing overhead.

Processes and Procedures

Often the most overlooked aspect of IT in both large and small companies alike, the lack of effective processes and procedures typically represent a significant optimization opportunity and a significant security risk.  By generating and maintaining standardized processes for what to do when someone joins, leaves or moves within the organization, accptable use policies, recurring training schedules and various other similar processes, Bluebonnet Technologies vCIO services help ensure your organization is always getting the most of its IT investment.

Strategic Planning

How does your company plan to comply with the new regulations that are coming out next year? What is your plan to account for the anticipated growth in your organization? How can you guarantee a functional disaster recovery plan within the confines of the budget set by the board? These are all examples of the types of long term strategic challenges addressed by Bluebonnet Technologies vCIO services.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

From file storage to user authentication, gone are the days of needing complicated onsite server farms to achieve basic IT functionality.  Now, most requirements can be met via cloud services at a comparable or lower operating cost and with none of the large expenses or special environmental concerns like power, HVAC, etc.

Microsoft 365

As a Microsoft partner, Bluebonnet Technologies can provide cloud based email, file storage, voice communications, user authentication, application licensing and various other services all through the Microsoft 365 cloud environment at or below retail pricing.

Cloud Compute and Storage

Through the use of various cloud servies providers like the Amazon Web Services platform, we can provide exceptionally scalable and flexible solutions for server usage, data accessibility, data archival, application hosting, etc. Additionaly, a high degree of pricing granularity is available by customizing performance, availaibility and retention requirements. 

Centralized Management

Through the utilization of our various partnerships, Bluebonnet Technologies can act as your organization’s “singe pane of glass” by handling all management tasks on your behalf.
