Today we’re giving a big shoutout to Zach, one of our go‑to Technical Analysts at Open Tier Systems! He recently celebrated 2 years as an Open Tier employee and today is his birthday!👏
Zach has a rare ability to take complex technical issues and turn them into solutions that actually make sense to clients — clear, relatable, and always high quality.
Our team and clients appreciate how approachable he is, how clearly he explains things, and how focused he is on delivering solutions that truly work — not just technically, but practically.
Thanks for all you do, Zach. We’re grateful to have you as part of the Open Tier team! 💙

At Open Tier Systems, we believe cybersecurity shouldn’t feel like a black box.
We’re committed to educating our clients—and the small business community—on the tools we rely on, why they matter, and how they protect real businesses.
That’s why we’re hosting a free 30‑minute webinar explaining endpoint protection and why securing business computers is so important today.

We’ve been hearing the same question a lot lately:
“Claude or Copilot?”
Here’s the update many teams haven’t heard yet — Microsoft Copilot now supports Claude.
✅ Model choice
✅ Enterprise‑grade security
✅ AI built directly into Microsoft 365
No more jumping between tools or risking unmanaged AI usage.
The real win isn’t which model you pick — it’s using AI safely and strategically.

Golf outing… or ski lift? ❄️⛳️
Freezing temps didn’t stop Brian McCarthy from getting out to the Villanova Sports Properties golf outing with our EOS partner Kevin Michals. Cold hands, good conversations, and a great reminder of why we value our partnership with Villanova and the EOS process that keeps our leadership team aligned year‑round.

Proof that the best connections happen—even when spring forgets to show up.

Behind every great technology experience is a team making sure it actually makes sense for the business.
That’s exactly what our Client Success Team does.
They’re the dedicated bridge between our clients and our technical teams — translating business goals into clear technical action, and breaking down complex tech decisions into practical, real‑world outcomes.
They make sure:
✅ technology aligns with what matters most
✅ clients always have a consistent, trusted point of contact
✅ progress stays focused on business impact, not just tickets and tools
Technology works best when people understand each other. Our Client Success Team makes that happen — every single day.
We’re incredibly grateful for the role they play in helping our clients move forward with confidence.

This event wasn’t about turning 20 — it was about trust. 💙 (and yes, really good bacon!)

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to trust Open Tier Systems with the technology that supports your business, your people, and your customers. That trust means everything to us.

As Brian McCarthy shared, what we’re truly celebrating is 20 years of partnership built on care, accountability, and showing up — especially when it matters most. We’re grateful for our clients, partners, and team who make this possible every single day.

We’re excited to keep growing together, continuing to improve, and helping businesses embrace technology in ways that make work easier and more human — not more complicated.

Thank you for being part of our story. If you took photos, we’d love to see them in the comments!

“We’ve got a guy for IT.”
Most small businesses do.
And most of the time, it works… until it doesn’t.
When IT is owned by someone who already has a full-time role, the real risk isn’t skill—it’s capacity. Security planning, documentation, redundancy, and long-term strategy often get pushed aside.
In this case study, we share how a growing creative firm recognized that risk early—and how a co-managed IT approach gave them backup, strategy, and peace of mind without replacing their internal leader.
