Providing networking and IT services to small and medium businesses in Eastern Iowa.

Value Proposition

Have you been told you need to:

  • Move to the cloud – “Because if you don’t, you’ll be left behind.”
  • Leverage AI – “It’s the future, and you can’t afford to ignore it.”
  • Run the latest software suite – “That’s how you stay competitive.”

When you tick these boxes, you often realize you’ve opened a can of worms instead of a solution. Small businesses, in particular, end up facing a laundry list of technical headaches that can eat up time, drain cash, and in the worst cases, break your entire operation.

The Real Problem

Unnecessary Risk & Hidden Complexity

Small businesses often assume that “cloud + AI + the latest sotware” is a turnkey, risk‑free upgrade. In reality, these initiatives can:

  • Turn day‑to‑day operations into IT firefighting – You’re fixing problems rather than growing.
  • Create security blind spots – Every new cloud or AI service adds another attack surface.
  • Blow up your budget – Unexpected fees, extra bandwidth costs, and the need for ongoing support.

Focus on What Matters

Let Obtuse Networking remove the "IT Headache" so you can focus on what matters.

Here’s how my holistic approach addresses each pain point:

  1. Strategic On Prem/Cloud Design
    Carefully mapped workloads to the right mix of public/private cloud and edge, minimizing transfer costs and downtime.
  2. Zero‑Trust Security Architecture
    Defends every application, device, and user—no more generic “one‑size‑fits‑all” firewalls.
  3. Automated Patch & Update Management
    Continuous compliance with latest releases and patches.
  4. Optimized Bandwidth & Network Resilience
    Redundancy and QoS settings keep video calls and SaaS apps snappy, no matter where your team is.
  5. Dedicated “IT Concierge”
    A single point of contact, with proactive monitoring, rapid incident response, and a transparent cost model.
  6. Cost‑Effective Backup & Disaster Recovery
    Multi‑tiered, immutable backups with fast RTO/RPO guarantees—so ransomware or accidental deletes never halt your business.
  7. Vendor‑Neutral Integration
    Open‑API architecture lets you upgrade or swap components without breaking what’s currently working.

You’re a growing company with unique workflows, a specific budget, and a tight timeline for uptime.
