Happy New Year, Sierra Vista!
As we kick off 2026, I’m reflecting on nearly two years of serving our community (EagleTech turns 2 in March!). I’ve seen firsthand how the right technology support can transform a business – and how the wrong approach costs time, money, and peace of mind. This year, I’m committed to helping you move from reactive “fix it when it breaks” to proactive “prevent it from breaking” technology management. Here’s my 2026 technology health check for Sierra Vista, AZ to help you review updates, security, backups, hardware, and Wi‑Fi at the start of 2026.
Let’s make 2026 your best tech year yet.

Your 2026 Technology Health Check
Just like your annual physical, your technology needs a checkup. Here’s your January audit checklist:
Security & Updates
- Windows Updates: Are you current? Outdated systems are the #1 vulnerability I see in Sierra Vista businesses.
- Antivirus Software: When did you last verify it’s active and updated?
- Password Strength: Still using the same password from 2020? Time to upgrade.
Backup & Data Protection
- Cloud Backup Status: Test your Google Drive or OneDrive backup today – don’t wait until you need it.
- Critical Files: Can you access your essential documents if your computer fails tomorrow?
- Recovery Plan: Do you know who to call in an emergency? (Hint: 520-678-3117)
Hardware Health
- Computer Age: If your system is 7+ years old, we should talk about replacement planning before failure forces your hand.
- Hard Drive Space: Running low on storage slows everything down.
- Unusual Noises or Slowness: Your computer is trying to tell you something – don’t ignore the warning signs.
Network & Connectivity
- Wi-Fi Performance: Dead zones or slow speeds hurt productivity.
- Router Age: Most people forget routers need replacing every 3-5 years.
- Security Settings: Is your network password still the default from your ISP?
Going through this list feeling overwhelmed? That’s exactly why I’m expanding EagleTech’s managed IT services. Imagine having someone handle all of this proactively – patches, updates, monitoring, and cybersecurity – so you never face another emergency hard drive failure or BitLocker lockout.
What’s New at EagleTech: Managed IT Services
For years, I’ve been helping Sierra Vista businesses and individuals when things break. But I kept thinking: What if we could prevent most of these emergencies?
That’s why I’m now offering Managed IT Services – proactive technology support that includes:
- Regular system updates and security patches
- Continuous monitoring to catch issues before they become emergencies
- Cybersecurity protection tailored to your needs
- Priority support when you need help
It’s the difference between changing your oil regularly versus waiting for your engine to seize. Both get you back on the road, but one costs a lot less stress and money.
Interested in learning more? Let’s schedule a free 60-minute technology assessment. I’ll review your current setup and show you exactly what proactive support would look like for your situation.
Quick Tech Wins for January
- Enable Automatic Backups Today Set up automatic daily backups to Google Drive or OneDrive. It takes 10 minutes now and could save you thousands in data recovery costs later.
- Update Your Emergency Contact List Add EagleTech to your phone: (520) 678-3117. When disaster strikes, you don’t want to be searching Google for help.
- Clean Out Your Startup Programs Too many programs launching at startup? Right-click your taskbar → Task Manager → Startup tab → Disable what you don’t need. Your computer will boot faster immediately.
