Empowering Modern Business: Digital Tools and Autonomy

In today’s digitally connected world, the tools you use to communicate, collaborate, and conduct business play a pivotal role in your success and security. From emails that reflect professionalism to voice communication systems that streamline operations, and from seamless WiFi connectivity to robust cloud solutions, the choices you make can determine your business’s efficiency and autonomy. Dive in to learn about the tailored solutions we offer that not only prioritize functionality but also safeguard your data ownership and privacy.

Email

Utilizing a personal email for business affairs is akin to using your individual bank account for professional transactions—it not only appears unprofessional but can also lead to complicated and messy situations. Many big-tech companies profit significantly from selling business email accounts, even though producing and operating them essentially costs nothing. Our email solution offers a distinct advantage in this regard. You retain full control over your user accounts, and what’s even better is that it comes as an integral part of your website hosting package, ensuring you get value without the unnecessary expenses.

  • Branded email address, for example: name@domain.tld
  • Seriously secure email access
  • Complete management of users
  • 100% data ownership

Phone

We are wholeheartedly confident in our ability to revolutionize nearly any business model. By leveraging the efficiency and cost-saving benefits of Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) services combined with a phone box system (PBX), we ensure a seamless communication infrastructure that not only reduces expenses but also upholds and respects your company’s autonomy.

  • In-house Phone Box System (PBX)
  • Auto-dialer: dials numbers automatically, so you spend more time selling and less time dialing!
  • Unlimited extensions, voicemail-to-email, music on hold, call parking, call center, call queues, and many other features!
  • 100% Data Ownership

WiFi

For many rural Alaskans, offering free WiFi is perceived as a lavish amenity. However, after extensive research, we discovered that businesses that offer free WiFi see an increase in the duration of customers’ visits and a rise in the average transaction value. To cater to this need, we’ve introduced a WiFi solution tailored for both personal and business use. Our system is built with a deep respect for individual freedom and autonomy, and it’s underpinned by some of the most advanced hardware available in the market today.

  • 100% Data Ownership
  • In-house Administration System; no 3d party has control or access to your network’s data.
  • Secure segment networks for guests and employees
  • Pretty fly for a wifi…

Cloud

We harness the power of one of today’s most widely adopted on-premise file share and collaboration platforms. This platform empowers users to access their files and collaborate across various devices, ensuring that their data always stays under their direct control. It’s time to reclaim ownership of your data. Say no to big-tech giants that mine your photos and documents for advertising agendas—because frankly, that’s an unsettling intrusion into your privacy.

  • A self-hosted productivity platform that keeps you in control
  • Know where your data is, who has access and how it is used
  • Facilitate secure collaboration and communication
  • Multiple plans to choose from, including the option for us to deploy and manage an in-house solution

In sum, our comprehensive suite of services aims to redefine the standards of digital communication and collaboration for businesses. Whether it’s projecting a more professional image with a branded email, ensuring seamless communication with top-tier phone systems, providing high-speed and secure WiFi solutions, or offering unparalleled control with our cloud platform, we’re committed to delivering excellence. It’s more than just offering tools; it’s about empowering businesses with the autonomy they deserve in this digital age. Choose to be in control, and let’s redefine the future together.
