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.

Not every cyberattack looks suspicious.

Business Email Compromise attacks are designed to look like legitimate messages from someone you trust, such as a coworker, vendor, or company leader.

The request might seem routine:
• Update payment information
• Send a wire transfer
• Purchase gift cards
• Share sensitive information

That is why verification matters.

If a financial or sensitive request seems unusual, confirm it through a second method before taking action. One quick phone call could prevent a very costly mistake.

Business improvements don't always come from major technology upgrades.

Sometimes it's the small changes that make the biggest impact.

A faster login process.
A better workflow.
A system that integrates with another platform.

Over time, these improvements save hours, reduce frustration, and help your team work more efficiently.

Technology should make your work easier, one improvement at a time.

If your business relies on technology (and most do), one question matters more than you might think:

What happens if your systems go down?

Whether it's a cyberattack, hardware failure, or even a power outage, downtime can bring operations to a halt and impact your bottom line.

The good news? With the right disaster recovery strategy in place, your business can recover quickly and keep moving forward.

We break down what every business should have in place—and where many fall short—in our latest blog.

Every virtual meeting has at least one person saying:
"Can you hear me?"
"You're on mute."
"I think your camera is frozen."

Technology keeps us connected... most of the time. 😄

Technology issues don't always happen during a convenient time.

When they do, having a trusted local IT partner can make all the difference.

At Imagineering, we work alongside businesses to provide responsive support, proactive solutions, and technology strategies that help organizations stay productive and secure.

Because great IT support is about more than fixing problems. It's about building long-term partnerships.

Cyberattacks and technology issues can happen to any business.

The question is not whether you'll face an unexpected IT issue. It's whether your team knows what to do when it happens.

An incident response plan helps your business:
• Minimize downtime
• Reduce confusion during an incident
• Protect sensitive information
• Recover more quickly

Having a plan in place today can make all the difference tomorrow.

Technology impacts more than productivity.

It impacts employee experience.

Slow systems, outdated tools, and constant technical issues create frustration that affects morale and efficiency.

The right technology helps employees do their best work and spend less time fighting with systems.

Investing in technology is also investing in your team.

User: "I know my password. I've used it for years."
System: "Incorrect password."
User: "Well now I'm questioning everything."

We've all been there. 😅 The good news? Password resets are a lot easier than recovering from a security breach.

Pro Tip: Password managers eliminate the guesswork and keep you secure.

A firewall does more than just protect your network.

It acts as your business's first line of defense against cyber threats, helping monitor network traffic, block malicious activity, and keep sensitive data secure.

But not all firewalls offer the same level of protection.

Modern solutions provide greater visibility, advanced threat detection, and stronger security to help businesses stay ahead of evolving cyber risks.

In our latest blog, we explain why firewalls are an essential part of a layered cybersecurity strategy and what to look for when protecting your business.

Many businesses add software and systems as needs arise. Over time, those tools can become disconnected, inefficient, and difficult to manage.

A technology strategy helps ensure your systems work together, support your goals, and scale as your business grows.

At Imagineering, we help businesses take a proactive approach to technology so they can spend less time dealing with IT issues and more time focusing on what matters most.
