If replacing office equipment is on next year's budget, now is the time to start planning.

The businesses that get the best results aren't the ones scrambling after equipment fails, they're the ones who plan ahead. Starting the conversation now means you can budget accurately, evaluate the right solutions, avoid unexpected downtime, compare purchase, lease, and rental options, and schedule installation when it actually works for your business.

2027 may seem far away, but it will be here before you know it. Let's start the conversation today so you're ready tomorrow.

Each year, ABS awards the Alan Albergaria Scholarship in honor of Alan, a friend, mentor, and leader whose kindness and care for his people shaped the culture we still carry today. Alan considered his staff an extension of his own family, and this scholarship was created to carry that spirit forward for the next generation.

This year, we're proud to award the scholarship to Heath and David, children of two of our own employees. Congratulations to you both, we're excited to see where this next chapter takes you.

What should businesses actually expect from a managed IT provider in 2026?

Our latest blog breaks down where managed IT support is heading, AI making threat detection more proactive, cybersecurity shifting from reactive to round-the-clock monitoring, and planning ahead for hardware and software before it becomes a problem instead of after.

A lot of the most valuable IT work happens behind the scenes. If you rarely think about your IT, that's often a sign it's being managed well, not that nothing's happening.

Great turnout at this quarter's sales meeting, goals reviewed, team aligned, plan set for hitting our targets this quarter. Then we headed to Topgolf, where the team's aim at actual targets was questionable.

Turns out hitting quota and hitting the green require two very different skill sets.

Ever had to search for a specific moment on your security footage? You're not alone.

Our partner Coram asked 476 security and IT managers that exact question. Almost half needed more than thirty minutes to find the clip they were looking for, and a quarter needed over an hour. Most of them had good cameras. The time was lost searching, not recording.

We work with Coram because footage you can't find fast isn't actually useful footage. Their free report breaks down the data, linked below.

Every day, confidential documents sit unattended on printer output trays. Everything from payroll records, personnel files, medical information, financial reports, and client records.

For businesses in healthcare, financial services, education, or legal, that's not just a security risk, it's a compliance risk. HIPAA, FERPA, and other data protection regulations don't stop applying just because a document left the screen and hit a printer.

With Secure Print, documents don't print until you're standing there. Only the right person ever sees it. Combined with tools like uniFLOW, PaperCut, or MyQ, you get better visibility into who's printing what, stronger security, and more control over costs.

Have you ever thought about what's at risk on your output trays?
