What Sets Us Apart

A People-first, Tech-second Mindset

We want our tech people to think like business people. The first thing that IT should ask is “How will this technology impact the user’s job, time doing tasks, or the effort to learn a new approach?” Not, “Is the tech cool or fashionable?”

Extensive Documentation

Resilient documentation covers areas like processes and procedures, cybersecurity policies, “how tos” for business applications, new computer checkoffs, new hire and termination checkoff sheets, and more. A secret list of basic passwords and IP addresses is NOT documentation.

Holistic Cybersecurity

All companies and individuals are vulnerable to cyberattacks and a firewall or antivirus software is not enough. Resilient IT bakes cybersecurity into everything from strategy to implementation to support. The industry-leading NIST cybersecurity model is at the core of our pragmatic risk management.

Perfect, you are in the 95% of our user base! Our technicians will listen carefully to your concerns and resolve your technology challenges, whether you’re highly tech-savvy or not. More importantly, they communicate in plain, everyday language, not jargon. We pride ourselves on making technology easy to understand and accessible for everyone.

Many of our clients pay a fixed monthly fee for unlimited support and others pay us using a block-of-hours arrangement. We offer two flexible pricing models: Block of Hours or a Managed Services (flat-fee) agreement. Both options provide the same high-quality support and SLAs. The main difference is that Managed Services allows us to be more proactive, deliver deeper ongoing management, and help you plan strategically. For pricing, please email us at sales@waident.com, and Natalia or John will respond within one business hour.

We are disciplined, process-driven, and a little weird. We focus on your people and your business first, THEN the IT.

We have an on-call team nights and weekends to help. You can always get in touch with us!
