We're proud to debut something a little different at Net Friends HQ.

Our newest office addition is a one-of-a-kind kinetic sculpture by Wilmington, NC metal artist Kevin Duval.

Kevin is a machinist, welder, and sculptor whose work transforms industrial materials into living, moving objects. His sculptures are built to be touched and set in motion.

What we love about Kevin's work is how familiar it feels to us as an IT company: bearings, counterweights, and mechanical arms aren't hidden away... they display function.

We're honored to bring Kevin's craft into our space. Stop by and give it a spin!

On May 27, 1999, John Snyder showed up to work at Net Friends for the first time.

This week, he showed up for the 27th year in a row.

To celebrate, our President, Neelesh Patel, surprised John with a custom framed print of their Triangle Business Journal interview... a pretty fitting gift for someone who's helped write the story of this company from the very beginning.

Happy Work Anniversary, John! Grateful for your leadership!

Your internal IT team is talented. So why does it still feel like IT is always playing catch-up? For a lot of businesses, the issue isn't skill. It's bandwidth.

Co-managed IT gives your team a capable partner to share the load, so your people can stop drowning in tickets and start doing the work they were actually hired to do. Curious if it's the right fit? We just published a blog breaking it all down. https://bit.ly/4lYockQ

If you have an internal IT team but still feel like technology is holding your business back rather than pushing it forward, you are not alone. Many growing organizations find themselves in a frustrating middle ground, too large to operate without dedicated IT support, but not quite resourced enough...

If an employee leaves your company today, how long does it take to revoke their access to every tool they use? If your answer is "I'm not entirely sure," it might be time to look at Single Sign-On.
