Involta’s mission statement “Driving Transformation through innovative planning, execution and management of Hybrid IT Strategies” is lived out every day through our employees and the services we provide. Expanding that mission to the communities we work in is as important to Involta as using it to drive the work we do. As part of our Sales Kickoff 2019, we dedicated time towards community impact activities. The most inspiring activity of the week was with Sofia Mehaffey and the Meals On Wheels program.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa - Involta, LLC is pleased to announce the acquisition of IT|Lynk℠, an IT managed services firm based in Independence, Ohio.

The average small company spends 6.9% of revenue on IT, midsized companies spend 4.1% and larger companies spend 3.2% of revenue on IT. These percentages have steadily increased over the last few years and all signs point to that trend continuing. Despite these spending numbers, organizations aren’t strategically planning for IT.

Securing our nation’s critical infrastructure may seem a bit “off topic” compared to the previous cybersecurity weeks posted. Involta is the critical infrastructure for clients in almost every critical sector. We provide infrastructure and services for very important vertical markets like healthcare, finance, and communications. Understanding this connection is an important insight to our role in maintaining both our client's and country's critical infrastructure. Here is how the role critical infrastructure plays in your daily routine.

Week 3 of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) has just wrapped up, and we want to shine a spotlight on helping everyone at work — from the break room to the boardroom — understand the importance of online safety. When you are on the job – whether it’s at your corporate office, a satellite location, or onsite with a client ‒ your organization’s online safety and security are a responsibility that everyone shares. And, as the lines between our work and daily lives become increasingly blurred, it is more important than ever to be certain that smart cybersecurity carries over between the two.

Sometimes it is exciting to read about your company in news headlines….sometimes it isn’t. It is not exciting to have your company in the news because something bad has happened and it definitely doesn't sit well when your company becomes part of an public, online list because of that something bad.
