RKON's IT Services Methodology:
From Private Equity to Mid-Market

IT Advisory

Due diligence is necessary to review IT environment, security risks, and cost inefficiencies with a road map for execution.

IT Execution

Most IT fails in the execution stage. This leads to higher costs, lost productivity, and increased risks for your organization.

IT Outsourcing

Merging into one local point of IT operations, or OneOps, helps ensure you are running a secure and compliant IT solution.

Now more than ever, IT transformation is a strategic enabler to business growth. By partnering with RKON, organizations will benefit from a single point business partner delivering high-performance, secure, and scalable Managed IT Services, allowing management to focus on driving business goals, instead of outages and inefficient IT processes.

From advisory to execution, and management, RKON will assess your current information technology infrastructure, roadmap the implementation process, and work with you as we integrate into your system improving technology capabilities, security, and ensuring IT compliance meets industry standards. We have a team of proven IT experts recognized across the industry for their experiences, in-depth knowledge, and track record of driving organizational impact. Together we will transform your IT infrastructure into a Quiet IT environment that is designed to help lower IT costs, mitigate risks, support business growth, and protect your business and customer data.

Give us a call, or fill out our contact form for more information on how we can transform your organization’s IT Infrastructure from a liability to a secure and cost-effective solution for your business and your customers.

What Companies Are Saying

Our organization was bought by a Private Equity Firm as a carve-out from our parent company. RKON was able to seamlessly execute a migration plan well in advance of the TSA and with zero downtime and business disruption. The RKON team even took ownership for things outside their scope to ensure success.

– CIO of High Growth Carve-out

RKON’s steadied and thorough approach to vulnerability management has greatly strengthened our security posture across our entire systems and network infrastructure. In particular, RKON’s vulnerability reporting, complete with remediation guidance, has become a cornerstone of our comprehensive security program.

– Director, Systems & Infrastructure, Worldbook

With RKON, we are buying peace of mind … knowing that our applications are always up and running and we have disaster recovery from our off-site location as well as our main site.

– President, Sciengistics, Inc

..the RKON Cloud has proven to be one of our best decisions.

– Ronald Kruczynski,
CFO, Paper Source

I needed to let you know the fantastic job your guys did with assisting me with getting a couple of our remote users working with the Netscaler VPN and H.323 protocol. I worked with the Netscaler team as well as the Checkpoint team. I really saw the value of having support for both products from one vendor.
