Independent agencies run on email, the agency system, and a handful of carrier portals, and they all need to work every day. Farnaus Technologies is one local partner for your Microsoft 365, devices, security, backup, and support.

Sound Familiar?

Email or the agency system is acting up

Quotes and renewals stall when email won't send or your agency management system is slow to open.

Waiting on IT help

A simple problem turns into a lost afternoon because nobody local knows your setup.

Every computer is a little different

Old laptops, missed updates, and personal devices make every problem harder to fix.

Not sure the backups work

Something is backing up, probably, but nobody has checked whether you could actually get your files back.

Common Questions

Will you work with our agency management system? ▼

Yes. We manage the Microsoft 365, devices, security, and backup around it, and coordinate with the vendor when an issue crosses into their product.

We are a small independent agency. Is this overkill? ▼

Not at all. We focus on what makes the biggest everyday difference for your office and keep it simple.

What if we already have Microsoft 365? ▼

We can work with your existing licenses or move you to ours, whichever makes more sense for your agency.

Can you help with our cyber-insurance application? ▼

Yes, we've got that covered too. The protections carriers commonly ask about, like sign-in protection, device protection, and tested backups, are part of how we set you up, and we can help you answer the technical questions accurately.
