45 years. On the Washington, MO riverfront. With wine.

If you know, you know. 🍷

The Washington Art Fair & Winefest is back May 15–17 and we could not be more ready. This is one of our favorite weekends of the year — great artists, local wineries, the river, and the whole community showing up together.

If you're in or around Washington, don't miss it. We'll see you there.

Mom told you to eat your vegetables, call more often, and back up your files.

She was right about all three.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in the St. Louis area — especially the ones running businesses, keeping the lights on, and making sure everyone around them has what they need.

We see you. 💐

Give STL Day is tomorrow. 💙

St. Louis nonprofits raised over $6.5 million in a single day last year. This city shows up when it counts.

If you've been meaning to support a local cause — food banks, shelters, youth programs, arts orgs — tomorrow is the day. Every dollar goes directly to organizations doing real work right here.

We're rooting for every St. Louis nonprofit in it. Pick one and make it happen.

May the 4th be with you — and may your backups be, too.

Darth Vader was just an old server that nobody wanted to replace. Don't let your business run on the Dark Side of IT.

May the 4th is our favorite unofficial holiday. We might be slightly biased.

Which side are you on: Jedi-level backups and proactive IT, or winging it and hoping nothing crashes? 🙂

Union, MO is running for a great cause this Saturday. 🏃

The Run for Love 5K on May 2 benefits the Franklin County Foster Closet — supporting local kids who need it most.

This is our hometown. We love seeing it show up for each other.

See you at the finish line, Union. 💙

That earthquake this week? Your server room felt it too.

A 4.0 hit SE Missouri — enough to rattle shelves, shake cabinets, and jostle the hardware your business runs on.

Physical servers, hard drives, on-site backups — they're not built for shaking.

When did you last check where your backups actually live?

If the answer is "...I think on-site," it might be time for that conversation.

From rotary dials to smartphones to VoIP systems that live entirely in the cloud — the office phone has had quite the glow-up. 📞

Happy National Telephone Day! We're feeling nostalgic. Somewhere in St. Louis there's a business owner who remembers untangling a coiled cord just to call a vendor across town.

Now we manage entire business communication setups from anywhere. Times have changed.

What was your first office phone? Drop it in the comments. 👇

Your password is Company2024! isn't it. 😅

No judgment — about 34% of people reuse the same password across multiple accounts. You are definitely not alone.

May 7 is World Password Day, and we'll just leave this here: STR includes 1Password in every managed IT plan. One secure vault for your whole team. No sticky notes. No 8am "forgot password" spirals.

Be honest — how many passwords do you have written down right now? 👇

Quick question: does your IT company actually know your name?

Not your ticket number. Not your account ID. You.

STR is small enough that we know your name, your team, and honestly — which printer you secretly want to throw out a window. 🖨️

We've been doing this since 2006 out of Union, MO, and we cover businesses all across the St. Louis metro. Close enough to show up. Small enough to actually care.

That's what IT is supposed to feel like.

STR Technologies is a managed IT provider in Union, MO serving St. Louis businesses. No contracts, flat monthly fees, real humans answering your calls 24/7.

Six months ago, Windows 10 officially hit end-of-life. No more security patches. No more support.

A third of business computers are still running it.

That's not a scare stat — it's just where a lot of small businesses are right now. Upgrades fall through the cracks. Nobody flagged it. The computers still *work*, so it doesn't feel urgent.

Until it is.

If you're not sure where your computers stand, we can check for free. Takes about 15 minutes.
