“We were lucky enough to find ETS years ago when our current IT company couldn't help us anymore. They are an amazing company with an amazing team. They are very organized and know their field. We have many different software programs that integrate with our main software, and we never have a major issue. It has been wonderful having a company that is so dependable, especially in the IT space where so many companies don't know what they are doing. We happily get to focus on our work rather than the latest IT issue. If you are looking for a company, give ETS a call, you will be so happy you do! :)”

Cybersecurity Can't Just Be "Set It and Forget It"...
Effective Cybersecurity Requires Ongoing Management and Strategy
Brian Arredondo
President, ETS
Most small companies own the right products by now. A firewall, antivirus, maybe multi-factor on email. What almost none of them have is a person whose job is to look.
How long could an intruder explore your network before you noticed?
We strategize, monitor and manage your security at a foundational level, not as an upsell sitting on top of the help desk. Alerts get read by an engineer inside thirty minutes answer to the same team as the firewall, and identity sits with us too. When something does happen, the response plan is already written and it names who gets called.
Talk to ETS about it. One call to (702) 874-3767 gets you in touch with an engineer who will walk through your current setup and tell you plainly which parts of it nobody is actually taking care of.

What Clients Say About Us
Fast, Reliable Support Around the Clock
Working with ETS for about a year now, I've had a great experience every time I've contacted them for support and during our new product implementation. They have been flexible when needed and quickly responsive each time we've reached out for support. Employees are great to work with, very respectful and courteous, and at understanding our issue fully before providing possible solutions. I appreciate this company and their employees.

I could not be happier with ETS. They are always just a phone call or e-mail away to handle our IT issues 24/7. Most of my tickets have been answered AND completed within an hour. Brian has gone above and beyond to make sure we understand our options and how they are going to be implemented. ETS has exceeded my expectations. No question or project is too small or too big for them. You may also think to yourself “Do I need an IT solution?” and the answer is YES and the company is ETS.

What Happens to Your Applications When Windows 10 Support Ends?
What Happens to Your Applications When Windows 10 Support Ends?
Mark your calendars: October 14, 2025, is the official end-of-life date for Windows 10. After this date, Microsoft will no longer offer security updates, bug fixes, or technical support. But what does this mean for your business applications and productivity tools?
If your business is still running on Windows 10 after the cutoff date, it’s not just the operating system at risk — your critical business applications could be exposed to serious vulnerabilities. Let’s explore the potential consequences and the steps you can take to protect your business.
1. No More Security Updates = Major Vulnerabilities
When Windows 10 support ends, there will be no more security patches. This leaves your business exposed to cyber threats such as hacking, ransomware, and data breaches.
What This Means for Your Applications:
Higher Risk of Data Breaches: Without security updates, your applications will be more susceptible to cyberattacks.
Compliance Issues: If your industry is regulated (such as healthcare or finance), continuing to use Windows 10 could lead to compliance violations and potential fines.
Productivity Disruptions: A cyberattack on unsupported systems can halt business operations, affecting productivity and revenue.
2. No More Feature Updates = Compatibility Issues
Software vendors will gradually stop supporting Windows 10 as they release new versions of their applications. This results in compatibility issues, which could hinder the functionality of your business applications.
What You Could Face:
Frequent Crashes and Glitches: Your applications may become unstable or fail to run altogether.
Feature Limitations: You may miss out on new features only available on supported operating systems, such as Windows 11.
Security Gaps: New updates that include essential security patches won’t be applicable, increasing the risk of cyber threats.
3. No More Technical Support
After October 2025, both Microsoft and third-party vendors will stop providing support for Windows 10. This will affect both the operating system and any software applications running on it.
Here’s What You Can Expect:
No Technical Support: If problems arise, there will be no official support for software running on Windows 10.
Lack of Integration with New Tools: Modern tools will only be optimized for newer versions like Windows 11, causing integration issues.
Limited Hardware Compatibility: New hardware may not be compatible with Windows 10, leading to hardware upgrade limitations.
4. Performance and Productivity Will Suffer
As technology advances, legacy systems like Windows 10 will struggle to keep up. Running outdated systems can cause significant business disruptions.
How It Impacts Your Business:
Slow Performance: Applications may run slower on outdated operating systems, affecting employee efficiency and productivity.
Increased Downtime: Frequent crashes and glitches lead to costly downtimes.
Higher Maintenance Costs: Keeping outdated systems functional could increase IT expenses, cutting into your bottom line.
5. What Should You Do Next?
To ensure your applications continue to run smoothly after Windows 10 support ends, consider the following steps:
1. Back Up Your Data
Make sure all critical data is backed up securely to avoid any loss during the upgrade process.
2. Upgrade to Windows 11 or Replace Your Devices
Check Compatibility: Use Microsoft’s PC Health Check tool to determine if your devices meet the Windows 11 system requirements.
Plan for Upgrades: If your devices are incompatible, budget for new hardware to ensure your systems remain secure and efficient.
3. Partner with a Trusted IT Provider
Expert Guidance: Work with an experienced IT provider, like Empowering Technology Solutions, to get recommendations for the best upgrade path for your business.
Smooth Transition: We can help you transition to a newer system with minimal disruption and implement security measures to protect your data during the upgrade process.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
Windows 10 support ends soon, and waiting until the last minute could leave your business vulnerable to security risks, lost productivity, and compliance issues.

What is Managed IT, and how can it benefit my business?
Managed IT involves outsourcing your company’s IT needs to a professional team that proactively monitors, maintains, and secures your IT infrastructure. With Empowering Technology Solutions’ Managed IT services, you get 24/7 support, proactive security, and regular updates, allowing you to focus on growing your business while we handle the technical details.
What is Co-Managed IT, and is it right for my company?

This solution is ideal for businesses that want a hybrid approach to IT management.
Our last provider sold us a firewall. Doesn't that mean we're secure?
It is one part, and on its own it is the part attackers plan around. The gap is usually that nobody reads what the tools report, which is the job rather than the purchase.
You Deserve A Higher Quality of IT Support...
Most owners find out how thin their security was on the day it fails, and how slow their IT company is on the same day. You can find out now instead, on a call that costs nothing, from somebody who will say it plainly.
