Imagineering

Imagineering Imagineering helps local businesses with computers, internet, email, & cybersecurity. No two clients are the same and are never treated like they are.

In 1996, Dave Hanson founded HOOPS, an accounting software company based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. After many years of dealing with hardware and network security inconsistencies, he was most troubled by their IT support lacking in the most crucial area — customer service. The need for a reliable IT service provider quickly became clear, so Dave purchased Imagineering Computer Consultants in 2007.

In the early days, Imagineering provided basic server and workstation support. While that is still a strength, Imagineering has evolved and offers clients the latest in network security, remotely managed services, and cloud solutions, along with accounting software and business applications, as well as software solutions for manufacturing industries. In 2020, Dave’s son, Josh Hanson, became Owner and President after nearly a decade with the company. Josh is a lifelong Eau Claire resident who is committed to seeing the community succeed, and wants to help businesses grow financially and technologically. Our Mission:
Empower business owners to make their technology everything they can imagine by providing the right technology at the right time. Imagineering’s consultants work with customers to implement solutions specific to their business processes which increase security and efficiency. When a customer asks for help, they won't reach a Helpdesk — they work with a familiar consultant who knows their business and their environment.

Passwords alone are no longer enough.

Cybercriminals have become more sophisticated, and even strong passwords can be compromised.

That is why multi-factor authentication matters.

Adding an extra layer of verification can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your accounts and systems.

A simple extra step can make a major difference in protecting your business.

User: "Nothing changed… it just stopped working."
IT: 👀

Because somehow, something always changed.
A setting.
An update.
A cable.
A "small" adjustment no one thought about.

No judgment—we've seen it all.

The good news?
That's exactly what we're here for.

One of the biggest things we see in growing businesses?

Too many systems.
Too many processes.
Too many "ways" to do the same thing.

Standardization might not sound exciting—but it's powerful.

It leads to:
• Fewer errors
• Better efficiency
• Easier training
• Stronger security

Growth doesn't just come from adding more.
It comes from simplifying what already exists.

When was the last time you evaluated your technology?

Not just when something broke—but proactively.

An IT assessment helps uncover:
✔ Security gaps
✔ Performance issues
✔ Outdated systems
✔ Opportunities to improve efficiency

Most businesses don't realize what's slowing them down until they take a step back and look at the full picture.

That's where we come in.

Downtime doesn't just mean your systems are offline.

It means:
• Employees sitting idle
• Missed deadlines
• Frustrated customers
• Lost revenue

And often—it's preventable.

Many businesses underestimate how much small disruptions add up over time.

The question isn't if downtime will happen.
It's how prepared you are when it does.

Does your IT budget feel a little… reactive?

You're not alone. A lot of businesses end up spending on technology as issues come up instead of having a clear plan in place.

The problem? It can lead to unexpected costs, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities.

The good news is it doesn't have to be that way.

In our latest blog, we walk through a simple way to build an IT budget that actually supports your business and future growth.

The technology that got your business to this point… might not be what gets you to the next level.
As businesses grow, we often see:
• Systems that no longer scale
• Processes built on workarounds
• Technology decisions made reactively

Growth requires more than just adding tools—it requires a plan. A strong IT strategy aligns your technology with where your business is going, not just where it's been.

If growth is on your radar this year, your technology should be too.

IT support starter pack:
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
"Can you send me a screenshot?"
"Is it plugged in?"

We've all been there 😅 The funny part? It works more often than you'd expect.

The real goal, though, is making sure your systems are set up in a way that prevents those issues in the first place.

Less troubleshooting. More productivity.
