How we work with Southwest Florida
Two facts anchor this page, and neither is marketing. First, Southwest Florida is served remote-first: support, monitoring, security and Microsoft 365 work are delivered remotely from our Brooklyn office, and on-site visits are arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal rather than promised as routine. Second, our Florida operations are headed by Joe Laboy, a NetSys systems engineer and cybersecurity expert whose byline is on this site. Southwest Florida businesses get the same practice our New York clients get, with any visit written into the proposal before it happens.
Hurricane season is the deadline that organizes everything
Every Southwest Florida business plans around the same calendar, and so does our work here. Disaster recovery is not a product line on this coast — it is the reason clients call: immutable off-site backups, cloud failover for line-of-business systems, a written playbook for what shuts down and what fails over when a warning is issued, and restore tests performed and timed in the spring. One of our published case studies began with a client cut off from their own on-prem systems by extreme weather; the engagement ended with a cloud environment weather cannot reach. That is the standard the season sets.
Built for the Gulf Coast mix
Medical and dental practices with HIPAA obligations, law and advisory firms serving retirees' wealth, hospitality groups that cannot lose a season, contractors and trades rebuilding after every storm cycle — Southwest Florida's business mix maps onto industry depth we already publish, including HIPAA-certified engineering and a restaurant group's 4.5-hour ransomware recovery. The security stack underneath is the same layered defense behind our 100% ransomware recovery record.

A Fort Myers contractor with one server and a plan from 2019
The specific engagements behind this profile are under NDA, so it is written as a generalization rather than a named client. Our published, client-approved outcomes are in case studies.
Fifteen office staff, crews in the field, and a server in the back room holding job files, bids and payroll. The hurricane plan was written after Irma and never touched again. The owner knew two things: the last storm was close, and if that server drowned, the company would be rebuilding its paperwork at the same time as its clients' roofs.
- Job files, bids and payroll moved to a managed cloud environment a storm cannot reach
- Immutable backups with a restore performed and timed, so recovery is a number instead of a guess
- A one-page storm playbook: what fails over, what shuts down, who calls whom, rehearsed once in May
- Multifactor authentication and endpoint protection across office machines and field laptops
- A quarterly check-in through Florida operations, with any on-site visit arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal
The intended result is a back-room server that is no longer the only copy of anything, and a storm playbook the office can run when the next warning cone appears: send everyone home, keep working from the cloud, and reopen with nothing to rebuild but the schedule.

NetSys vs. Entech
Entech competes for IT services in Southwest Florida. Their column below is drawn from their own published pages and links to each source. Ours states what we publish. Put the same questions to both.
| The NetSys Group | Entech | |
|---|---|---|
| Agreement | Month to month. Leave any time, no early-exit penalty. | We could not find contract length or cancellation terms published on their site. |
| What the monthly fee covers | One agreement: AI services, cybersecurity, managed IT with help desk, PAM, PIM and disaster recovery planning. | Their managed IT services page lists around-the-clock workstation and server threat alerting, automated patching for Microsoft and third-party applications, help desk support across locations and devices, and virtual CIO services covering budgeting, planning, and long-term technology decisions. (entechus.com) |
| Privileged access and credentials | PAM and PIM in the base agreement, each with a published service page describing the work. | We could not find privileged access, privileged identity management or managed credentials named on their site. |
| AI and automation | In-house practice led by Jamie Baum: readiness assessments, Copilot rollouts, custom agents and workflow automation. | They publish a dedicated AI Services page naming five offerings: AI Strategy and Use Development, AI Governance and Risk Alignment, AI Agents and Workforce Automation, AI Performance and Executive Reporting, and Microsoft-Native AI Enablement, and it references Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment and Azure AI activation.

Southwest Florida FAQs
Does NetSys really cover Southwest Florida on-site?
Not as routine coverage. Southwest Florida is served remote-first: support, monitoring, security and Microsoft 365 work are delivered remotely from our Brooklyn office, and on-site visits are arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal. Our Florida operations are headed by Joe Laboy, a NetSys systems engineer and cybersecurity expert. Monitoring, the helpdesk and the free external penetration test run remotely.
Which Southwest Florida cities do you serve?
Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Sarasota, Venice and Punta Gorda, plus the surrounding Lee, Collier, Charlotte and Sarasota county areas, all served remote-first from Brooklyn. Tampa Bay, to the north, has a page of its own and is served the same way, with on-site visits arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal.
Where is your office?
Brooklyn, New York. Southwest Florida clients are supported remotely from there, with Florida operations headed by systems engineer Joe Laboy, on-site visits arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal, and the same month-to-month practice our New York clients get.
Can you get us ready for hurricane season?
That is the core of the regional practice: immutable off-site backups, cloud failover for the systems a storm cannot be allowed to take, a written playbook for warnings, and restore tests run and timed in the spring. Our published hurricane-season checklist shows the full discipline.
Do Florida clients sign long contracts?
No. Every NetSys agreement is month to month, in Florida as everywhere else — we keep clients by performing, and our retention runs 98%.
What does an IT company in Fort Myers cost?
We price per user per month and publish no fixed rate, because the scope sets the number. Headcount, devices and servers, HIPAA or other compliance work, on-site visits and the storm-season recovery design all move it. Projects are quoted separately, and every Southwest Florida agreement runs month to month.
How fast can an engineer reach a Fort Myers or Naples office?
Most issues are fixed remotely first, and the response table on our managed IT services page sets out phone and remote commitments by severity. Southwest Florida is served remote-first, so when a Lee or Collier County site needs hands, the visit is arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal rather than dispatched on demand.
Do you provide IT support in Naples, FL?
Yes, remotely. Naples and the rest of Collier County are served remote-first from our Brooklyn office: a help desk staff can call, Microsoft 365 and device administration, monitoring and security. When hardware needs hands, the visit is arranged in advance and scoped in the proposal. The help desk is staffed seven days a week from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time, emergency service is available 24/7, and any other after-hours work is written into the agreement.
What happens to our systems if we evacuate for a hurricane?
If recovery was planned in advance, staff keep working from wherever they evacuate to. Files and key applications stay reachable in the cloud, immutable backups sit off-site, and the written playbook says what shuts down and what fails over. Monitoring continues remotely throughout, and any on-site repair is arranged in advance once the building is safe.
Can you support a seasonal business in Southwest Florida?
Yes. Staff numbers often rise for the winter season, so accounts, devices and access need adding and then removing on a schedule, and per-user pricing is counted on the people you actually cover. The scope should say how seasonal hires are onboarded and offboarded, so no account outlives the job.
