PANDA TECHNOLOGY + ACRONIS
When your business has an IT problem, the clock starts ticking. Every minute a system is down is a minute your team can't work, your customers can't reach you, or your data is at risk. So here's a question most business owners never think to ask their IT provider: when something breaks, how fast can you actually fix it, and what makes you so sure?
For us, the answer comes down to how we built our own operation. And recently, our Co-Founder and COO Joshua Aaronson sat down with Acronis to talk about exactly that.
The Problem With How Most IT Companies Are Built
Most managed IT providers run their business on a pile of disconnected tools. One system for monitoring, another for security, another for backup, another for identity, another for support tickets, and so on. Each one has its own login, its own dashboard, its own way of doing things.
That might not sound like your problem. But it is, because when your IT company's technician is trying to solve your issue, they're often jumping between five, six, or seven different systems just to figure out what's going on. That switching costs time. And that time is your downtime.
As Joshua put it in the session, the real cost in IT support isn't the software. It's the people and the time:
That difference doesn't come from working harder. It comes from building the operation differently.
How We Built Panda Differently
When we founded Panda Technology, we made a deliberate decision to build our entire operation on a single, integrated platform from day one, using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud as the backbone and connecting our monitoring, security, backup, identity, and support tools into one place.
Joshua said it plainly in the session: when he started the company, he'd always known he'd
and that decision shaped how the entire business was built.
The result is that our technicians don't waste time hunting across disconnected systems. When you have an issue, the information is centralized, the problem is easier to find, and the fix happens faster. Joshua described the impact as a 7x improvement; work that used to take significant time and coordination now happens in a fraction of it.
What This Actually Means For You
This is the part that matters if you're a business owner. Our internal efficiency isn't just an operations story, it directly changes your experience as a client:
Problems get solved in minutes, not hours. Because our team works from one platform instead of juggling many, they find and fix issues faster. Less downtime, less waiting, less lost productivity.
Onboarding is fast and painless. Bringing a new client onto our systems used to be the kind of thing that took days and came with disruption across the industry. For us, it takes hours, with no interruption to your business. As Joshua noted, we can move customers over
Your security is stronger and more visible. With everything integrated, nothing falls through the cracks. We see your whole environment in one place, which means threats get caught and handled faster.
You sleep better at night. That's not a throwaway line. Describing what clients experience after moving onto our platform, Joshua said they get
One client even noticed so little disruption that the only change they registered was getting less spam. (One of them jokingly asked for the spam back.)
Why This Is The Whole Point Of A Managed IT Partner
There's a reason we tell people that how an IT company runs its own operation tells you everything about how they'll run yours. An IT provider built on chaos will pass that chaos on to you in the form of slow response times, clunky onboarding, and security gaps. An IT provider built on a clean, integrated foundation passes that on too, as speed, reliability, and calm.
We built Panda to be the second kind. The 600% improvement in troubleshooting time isn't a number we chase for its own sake. It's the reason our clients get answers fast, transitions they barely notice, and the confidence that their technology is handled.
That's what being genuinely good at this looks like from the inside. And it's exactly what you should expect from the company you trust with your business's technology.
