Amazing Spaces® Storage Centers, along with their clients, business partners, and neighbors, came together to raise $20,000 for the American Heart Association in celebration of the opening of Amazing Spaces' 7th property, serving the Greenway, Upper Kirby, and River Oaks communities. "One of our operational pillars is to give back to the communities in which we service," discusses Kathy Tautenhahn, President of Amazing Spaces. "The American Heart Association is an invaluable organization to so many, and one close to Amazing Spaces: my late husband and co-founder of Amazing Spaces, Scott Tautenhahn, had a history of overcoming a life-threatening heart condition. It only felt right that we align with a charity that he was passionate about and believed in."

Identifying and quantifying risk is an important part of business operations in a constantly evolving IT landscape. Being able to document and share the risks with a key group of stakeholders helps the decision-makers determine if action is required or if they are willing to accept a risk. Even in circumstances or projects where multiple risks have been identified, they may never become actual issues. As a premier Houston IT consulting company, AVATAR Managed Services recommends a proactive IT strategy and a robust planning process to minimize risk. Considering each aspect of managed IT service support and how it can be applied to a unique business scenario can help to minimize the number of outages and incidents, which in turn can improve the company's reputation and make the IT spending budget more predictable. Discerning customers expect and demand accountability when they enter into a business transaction or relationship that entails disclosing personal information. Privacy Acts and Data Security Standards are increasingly regulated to protect consumers. As Houston cybersecurity solution providers, AVATAR understands how catastrophic a data breach or cyber attack can be in terms of time lost, escalating costs to resolve an urgent issue, stress, and reputational damage. Whilst prevention is always preferable, having a documented plan that is well understood and familiar to all employees in case something happens, is important. Cybersecurity threats vary and can present in many guises, from an attack on database information to stealing personally identifiable information or passwords to malicious attempts to undermine a business through physical attacks or the introduction of malware into a critical system. As more industries mandate minimum requirements for cybersecurity, there is a need to document and record the precautions being taken as well as merely integrating the measures into the systems. In addition, when systems comply in terms of software, hardware, or network components, there must be staff awareness and compliance around who uses the systems, who is granted access to the systems, who can make changes to the system, and how the day-to-day operations are carried out. AVATAR Managed Services have the experience to help solve more than the questions around which technical building blocks need to be put in place, their philosophy is to support the business as a complete system, with consideration given to training, operational procedures, contingency plans, disaster recovery plans, risk management, budget planning, upcoming challenges, and upcoming opportunities.
