Local IT support from a team based in Englewood
Most IT companies that list Englewood on their website are driving in from Sarasota, Fort Myers, or another state. We live here. The Network Gurus is a veteran-owned managed IT provider based in Englewood and a member of the Englewood Chamber of Commerce, and Englewood businesses get the shortest drive time we have.
That matters for the kinds of businesses that make up Englewood: medical and dental offices around HCA Florida Englewood Hospital, professional offices and shops along Dearborn Street and SR-776, marinas and service businesses near the beaches, and the growing communities in Rotonda West and Placida. Few of them have anyone on staff whose job is IT, and none of them can afford a slow Monday.
What's included for Englewood clients
- Unlimited help desk, remote and on site, for every user
- 24/7 monitoring of workstations, servers, and network equipment
- Security built in: endpoint detection, email security, enforced MFA, staff training, and a managed WatchGuard firewall
- Microsoft 365 administration and licensing review
- Tested, immutable backups with a written recovery plan
- Cloud phone systems that keep working when the office doesn't
- Quarterly planning and budget reviews
- A client portal showing every ticket, asset, and recommendation
Hurricane readiness on the barrier islands and the mainland
Englewood sits between Lemon Bay and the Gulf, and every business here has a storm plan whether it's written down or not. Ours is written down. Before a storm we verify every managed client's backups, confirm cloud failover for phones and email, and check in by phone. Afterward, we're on the road the moment it's safe, starting closest to home.
Compliance for Englewood practices and dealerships
Medical and dental practices fall under HIPAA. Dealerships and other businesses that arrange financing fall under the FTC Safeguards Rule. CPA and tax firms fall under IRS Publication 4557. The controls those frameworks expect, from MFA and encryption to audit logging and tested backups, are part of our managed plan, and our Compliance add-on adds the assessment, documentation, and evidence file.
