Pollinators like bees are essential to global food production, but their populations are shrinking due to habitat loss, climate change, and pesticides. To address the crisis, scientists are developing tiny bug-like drones, some modeled after bees, others after ladybugs, that can autonomously pollinate crops. These “pollibots” are already being tested in greenhouses, where they delicately

Detect – develop and implement the appropriate activities to identify the occurrence of a cyber security event. Respond – develop and implement the appropriate actions for a detected cybersecurity event.

Similar to air, water, and food for your body, you need to get this right to survive. Nothing else will function properly without the proper Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) of your IT infrastructure. Baroan Technologies has invested seven years of research and development. This focused work evolved into a software company that has hundreds of other managed service providers (MSPs) utilizing the software solution that was created within Baroan Technologies. Working with these MSPs (and IT departments), we found a common theme. A tool is purchased, the standard templates provided are installed, the software is “turned on,” and the service provider or IT department is flooded with alerts. Eventually, the IT team turns the alerts off because they can never address the flood, and they miss critical alerts. They end up using the software for remote access and some basic features. However, they are not monitoring and maintaining as they should. We have addressed every nuance and detail related to RMM, starting with our Smart Monitors. Instead of applying static templates that quickly become obsolete, our Smart Monitors detect what you have and dynamically make the adjustments. Any MSP that purchases an RMM tool needs to create hundreds of scripted procedures. Most MSPs don’t have the time or necessary talent to do so, and the development never happens. Our program www.mspbuilder.com includes hundreds of dynamic scripts and procedures that evolve with each update. Each software tool we add to the suite of tools we use to maintain your network requires training, time, talent, and money to do it right. After we vet out a support tool, we select one of our Level Three engineers to become the expert in that software. They do the training, gain experience, and then they pass that knowledge onto the rest of the team. We also invest in professional services from the software vendor of the tool to review our installation and our use of the tool to make sure we are doing everything correctly and maximizing capabilities. Some examples of the suite of tools we use:
The following is a high-level list of tools employed for your safety.
Baroan Technologies adopted RMM very early in the history of MSPs and has invested heavily to make sure you have your air, water, and food to function properly. Remember that payroll is the biggest line item on the Profit & Loss statement for most businesses. Having your people wasting time looking at a “spinning wheel” preventing them from working or being on helpdesk calls about performance is a huge cost that adds up minute by minute. The dollars add up very quickly.
