About us
Most small to mid-size businesses have a ton of tech tools, software, apps, and systems to help them run—and most small to mid-size businesses don’t have the resources (or, quite frankly, the time) to make sure all those tools are running correctly. That’s where we come in. PTG is an outsourced IT company based in Greenville, SC. We work with businesses to make sure they’re using the right tools for their needs, that those tools are working as expected, and that they’re actually providing value. On a daily basis, we handle issues that pop up with your technology, whether planned or unplanned--everything from fixing computer errors to checking into potentially malicious emails to setting up computers for new employees. We’ll also meet with you quarterly to discuss the big picture: your business goals and the tools you need to get there, your cybersecurity and disaster recovery plan, and budget planning. We deliver phenomenal experiences by people you'll love. We believe in re-earning your business with every interaction. Phenomenal experiences don’t stop with customers. We believe in delivering phenomenal experiences for our employees, too—and our employees have voted us one of the Best Places to Work in SC for ten years in a row.

MONDAY MORNING UPDATE. City crews are operating off our "Snow Plan" to prioritize tree clearance and ensuring routes are passable. Routes are broken down by priority streets: thoroughfares, secondary and neighborhoods You should already see many City of Greenville vehicles out today. We are doing all we can while we wait on Duke Energy to remove trees from power lines. Once we know power lines are grounded, we are cutting the trees in order to make repairs roads passable. We have 160 traffic lights operational. We hope to have most to all restored by the end of the day. Greenlink is operating most regular routes and all paratransit routes until 6:30 p.m. We are running all solid waste routes today. There is a general population shelter is open at Hillcrest High School in Simpsonville. the Medical Needs shelter is open at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. Rumors continue to circulate online that the water is not functioning, that Greenville Water is shutting down the water system to clean filters. This is not true. They have plenty of fuel to power all of their generator needs until all power is restored.

One of the most famous - or infamous - kinds of cybercrime is ransomware. In a #ransomware attack, an individual or business receives a message on their screen that informs them that their data is being held hostage and unless they pay a ransom, this #data will be destroyed. A proper #security program should be based on published frameworks that are proven to reduce risk. These can include things like: 🔎Identifying all data and assets 🔒Protecting assets with modern technology 👨💻Detecting the threats that make it past traditional firewalls 🚨Developing and practicing incident response plans 💽Having the ability to recover from unforeseen threats or human error If you're looking for a great place to start improving your business's security posture, you can find our modern #cybercrime resource here: https://hubs.la/Q02Lbjl80
