During my time in the Marine Corps, I carried my E-Tool across four continents. It was a lifesaver—helping me dig in, cut through obstacles, and adapt to whatever the mission required.
Over the years, the E-Tool has evolved—from a simple spade to a lightweight, multi-functional tool with serrated edges, reinforced handles, and durable metals. Since its introduction in the 1940s, it has continuously improved because the battlefield has changed.
The mission stays the same, but the tools must evolve to stay effective.
The same holds true in IT managed services. At Katalyst, we know that what worked for our clients five years ago won’t cut it today. Cyber threats are evolving, business needs are shifting, and technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace.
You may have heard about some of the personnel additions we’ve been making, or more importantly the promotions that have been earned by our technical leaders. It’s so great to watch them focus across their ‘squads’ in the following areas:
Adapting – Continuously improving cybersecurity and IT strategies.
Innovating – Leveraging cutting-edge tools to protect and empower our clients.
Supporting – Ensuring clients have the right solutions, just like our military members require agility on their modern battlefield.
But great tools are only as good as the engineers behind them. Just like military engineers have refined and enhanced the entrenchment tool to meet modern demands, our Katalyst team is constantly upskilling and training on the latest security threats, adopting emerging technologies, and refining our approach to ensure our clients always stay ahead. The technology battlefield doesn’t wait, and neither do we.
A great tool isn’t just about what it does today—it’s about how it keeps you ready for tomorrow. If your managed services provider isn’t evolving, you might be digging with outdated tools. If you have a big hole and small outdated shovel, we are happy to help dig with you. Make sure your business stays ahead of the fight!
