If you're a small business owner in Minnesota, North Dakota, or South Dakota, here’s the one resolution that will truly make your year better—and it’s not about the gym.
January Always Starts Strong...
The gym’s full. Your inbox is organized. The team’s energized. You’ve even set a goal for your business:
“This is the year we finally fix our IT problems.”
But then reality hits:
- A client emergency derails your day.
- Your internet cuts out during a meeting.
- Someone clicks a suspicious link, and now you're wondering if your data's at risk.
And just like that, your “tech improvement” plan slides beneath a coffee mug.
Why Most IT Resolutions Fail
It’s not laziness. It’s structure.
Just like failed fitness goals, most business IT plans fall apart for four reasons:
- Vague Goals – “Upgrade tech” isn’t a plan. It’s a wish.
- No Accountability – If no one owns it, it never happens.
- Lack of Expertise – You don’t know what you don’t know.
- Going It Alone – IT shouldn’t be a solo mission
Want to Actually Fix Your IT This Year?
Try the “Personal Trainer” Approach
Think about how people finally stick to their health goals: they hire a personal trainer.
Now imagine having that same structure and support for your technology—a dedicated IT partner who shows up, keeps you on track, and makes sure everything just works.
That’s exactly what a Managed Service Provider (MSP) like Information Management Systems (IMS) does for businesses across North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota.
What IMS Delivers for Businesses Like Yours
Whether you're in Fargo, Moorhead, Sioux Falls, Bismarck, Grand Forks, or nearby, IMS offers more than just "tech support."
Here’s what working with IMS looks like:
✅ Fast Response Times
Same-day support—even multiple visits if needed. No more waiting hours or days for help.
✅ Expertise You Don’t Have to Manage
From Wi-Fi issues to data backups, IMS handles it all. You don’t have to become a tech expert to run your business securely.
✅ Proactive Problem-Solving
IMS spots and fixes issues before they become costly downtime. Think fire prevention, not firefighting.
✅ Long-Term Relationships
20+ years of loyalty from local businesses doesn’t happen by chance. IMS clients stay because things just work.
✅ Complete Coverage
IT systems, VoIP, cybersecurity, physical security (cameras, access control), cloud services—all with one trusted partner.
A Real-World Example
Let’s say you run a 30-person accounting firm in Fargo or Sioux Falls.
Your tech isn’t “broken,” but it’s frustrating:
- Laptops are slow.
- Files go missing.
- Your staff is wasting hours troubleshooting issues instead of serving clients.
Every January, you say you’ll fix it. By March, you’re buried in tax season, and the resolution is forgotten.
But this year, you call IMS.
Within 90 days:
- Backups are running and tested.
- Devices are on a refresh cycle—no more “run it until it dies.”
- Spam filters, ransomware protection, and 24/7 monitoring are active.
- Productivity goes up. Stress goes down.
And you didn’t have to become an IT expert to get there.
The Resolution That Actually Matters in 2026
If you make one business resolution this year, let it be this:
“We stop living in IT crisis mode.”
Because when your tech stops being a daily headache:
- Your team gets more done.
- Your customers get faster service.
- You stop wasting hours on IT problems.
- You finally gain control of your business technology

Frequently Asked Questions About Business IT Support
What does an MSP (Managed Service Provider) actually do?
A Managed Service Provider like IMS takes full responsibility for managing, monitoring, and supporting your business’s IT systems. That includes everything from daily tech support to cybersecurity, backups, network health, VoIP phones, and even physical security systems like cameras and access control.
How do I know if my small/medium business needs IT support?
If you're constantly troubleshooting tech issues, worried about security, or wasting time on slow systems, it's time. Most of our clients are small businesses (5–50 employees) in North Dakota, South Dakota, or Minnesota who were frustrated with unreliable tech support before finding IMS.
How fast can IMS respond when something goes wrong?
Very fast. Many issues are resolved the same day—some within the hour. We even handle emergencies after hours. Our clients regularly mention how quick and reliable our response times are.
Do I need to understand technology to work with IMS?
Nope. That’s the point. You focus on your business—we handle the tech. We explain things in plain English and don’t expect you to become an IT expert just to stay protected.
Do you only work with businesses in Fargo?
Not at all. We serve businesses within about 200 miles of Fargo, including cities like Grand Forks, Bismarck, Minot, Sioux Falls, Watertown, Alexandria, and Bemidji. If you're in ND, MN, or SD, we likely support businesses near you.
What makes IMS different from other IT companies?
We’re not a call center. We’re a local team that builds long-term, trusted partnerships. Some of our clients have been with us for over 20 years. We’re known for fast response, proactive solutions, and making tech just work.
