IT guides for growing businesses.

What these guides are for.

Hunter Thevis, our President and Co-Founder, writes these guides. They're for owners who want a straight answer before they buy something, switch providers, or sign a contract clause they don't understand.

A guide isn't a support ticket. If something is down, call (337) 362-1900. If you're still deciding, read first, then call sales at (337) 362-1910.

How to use a guide.

Start with the question in the title. The first paragraphs give the answer, and the rest covers the details we'd share on a call. If a sentence sounds like a sales pitch, it doesn't belong here, and we take it out.

What we write about.

We publish a guide when it answers a real question our clients have asked us.

Frequently asked questions.

Who writes the S1 Technology blog?

Hunter Thevis, President and Co-Founder of S1 Technology, writes our guides. They share what our team sees every day with the businesses we support across Louisiana, Texas, and Alaska, from switching IT providers and choosing an MSP to cybersecurity, compliance, and hurricane preparedness. Each guide is written to answer one question clearly.

What topics do the S1 Technology guides cover?

Our guides cover choosing and switching IT providers, what a managed service provider does, IT pricing models, cybersecurity mistakes, CMMC compliance, hurricane preparedness, cyber insurance, Microsoft 365, and AI. We also publish client success stories and company news, like our ranking on the 2026 Inc. 5000.

Can I share these IT guides with my business partners?

Yes, that's what they're for. Each guide is written so a partner, board member, or office manager can read the answer without sitting through a sales meeting. If the guide raises questions about your own setup, call sales at (337) 362-1910, and we'll walk through it with you.

Can these guides replace a conversation with an IT provider?

No, but they make the conversation more useful. A guide explains the general answer, while your situation depends on your systems, people, and contracts. If you'd like us to look at your environment, call (337) 362-1910, and we'll tell you what applies to your business.

How often does S1 Technology publish new guides?

We publish when we have something worth a business owner's time, not on a fixed schedule. Older posts that covered the same topic have been combined into single, current guides, so each question has one reliable answer. Check back before hurricane season and tax season, when we update the most relevant guides.
