Core Values
Honesty, Integrity, and Respect Above All Else
Honesty, Integrity, and Respect are traits we live and breathe at BSSi2. These values form the foundation on which we perform work, treat others, and conduct ourselves. Without these, trust is lost.
Removing Obstacles
Obstacles slow down progress and efficiency—we do our best to remove them from yours and our daily work. BSSi2 is constantly looking at new ways, as well as reviewing time-tested processes, to make everyday tasks easier for everyone.
No Assholes Allowed
No one likes dealing with rude people. We believe a positive culture leads to an engaged workforce that enjoys what they do. We also want you to enjoy every interaction with our employees as an extension of your team. This cultivates a successful business relationship and is why we won’t hire them.
All Solutions Start with Security
BSSi2 has been putting security at the forefront before it became the biggest buzzword in technology. We test and offer the best security solutions on the market to keep your company protected.
Continuously Improving
Technology is one of the fastest growing and changing industries, with new or improved inventions emerging daily. We strive to stay on top of ever changing technology by keeping tabs on industry leaders, testing new products, training, and joining networking teams. We do this so that you don’t have to. Our aim is to continuously improve your customer service experience, not just the technology we implement and support. It needs to be easy, convenient, and pleasant to do business with us. So please tell us what you truly think, and if there is a problem we’ll work to fix it.

5No Unforeseen or Unwanted Surprises. Your network or data will not be damaged, that’s a promise. Before we begin computer maintenance services, we check first to see if there are any possible problems and alert you first. We will explain to you any potential risks involved and get your okay before we begin the work. Alternative process is to have your data synchronize and backed up before we proceed any further on your machine.
6We Are Less Expensive Than Hiring a Full Time Computer Support Person: By outsourcing your computer support to us, we can save you thousands of dollars on hiring salaries and benefits.
7We Are Paranoid About Your Backups: Your company data is your most important asset. We are insistent on regular, reliable backups and we monitor those backups, no matter how you do them. If there is a problem with your backup, we know about it and proactively address it. And we test your backups as well; to be sure you stay protected.
8All Projects Completed According to Schedule AND Budget – Guaranteed. Know that by hiring us for IT Consulting, to complete a project or perform network services, there will be no nickel and diming for charges that are unexpected. Sometimes this happens with unethical and incompetent technicians who have improperly planned and researched. We do the right thing and make no excuses. Your IT support project will be completed within time constraints, resources, scope and budget.
