About Us
At TEKZYS (pronounced “Texas”), we help businesses eliminate IT headaches, strengthen cybersecurity, and keep their systems running reliably — 24/7/365.
We are a lean, high-efficiency managed IT and VoIP provider serving clients nationwide. Even with a small team, we deliver the level of speed, responsiveness, and personal service that most larger firms can’t match.
Our specialties include:
Fully managed IT services
Cybersecurity protection & compliance readiness
Business VoIP (Hosted PBX)
Network monitoring & patching
Cloud and Microsoft 365 / Azure services
IT strategy, budgeting & project planning
If your business relies on technology (and whose doesn’t?), TEKZYS ensures everything “just works.”
How We Got Started
TEKZYS was built on a simple belief:
Businesses deserve world-class IT support without the red tape or slow response times of big providers.
We started with just one technician, one engineer, and a commitment to doing right by every client — no shortcuts, no excuses.
Today, TEKZYS supports companies across the country with:
24/7 operations support (NOC)
Enterprise-level cybersecurity
A high-touch client experience
A reputation for fixing problems before they happen
We grow almost entirely through referrals, word of mouth, and professionals who trust us with their clients.

"I reached out to Elston last week because my system was hacked from a spoofed email I received from one of my vendors. The hacker started emailing my customers requesting them to pay via Zelle. Within minutes of my message to Elston, he responded and immediately went to work on my system. We talked on a Thursday evening and Elston continued working with me and my office manager throughout the entire weekend! Today is Friday November 13, 2020 and Elston has been in close contact with myself and my office manager every single day since last Thursday November 5, 2020. He secured our system, identified vulnerabilities within our system and quickly corrected them . Small business's owners like myself never think about being a target of a hacker until it happens. To all you small business owners that assume your system is secure (like I assumed mine was), think again! We are so impressed with Elston from TeKnowNow IT Services, not only from a trust stand point, which speaks volumes when it comes to allowing somebody full access to our system, which is our lifeline of business, he has exceeded our expectations 10 fold. Elston from TeKnowNOW has earned our complete trust and we plan on negotiating a long term contract as our goto IT person for all our IT security needs. Take it from a victim of a ruthless hacker, your business can't afford.
Thank you Elston! We are so blessed to have connected with you!

Direct Mail is the best. Start with a vertical in a relatively small radius and work outward with your mailing provider every couple of quarters. It will seem expensive at first, but 2 or 3 new accounts will make the annual expense of it worthwhile.

Chase is definitely not friendly to small businesses. Small business owners may times find themselves in dire cashflow droughts due to taking on big jobs and small business owners (over 50%) get a bad rap from credit agencies like Experian and Equifax due to slow pays during these cash droughts. When turning to Chase for help.... forget it.... so many small business owners turn to short term high fee AR "loans" for financing which aren't loans and don't offer any additional funding as they are just repurchasing your future receipts with a Hefty fee attached. So in the hole you go..... Chase has the ability to really prop up the small business sector, but do not. I would highly recommend starting a relationship with a small local independent bank in your community and getting to know the people there. During this pandemic crisis Chase was definitely not interested in helping out..... just look at their "overdraft' fees income during this time and the profits they posted. During a time when national unity would have been in the best interest of the country, what a shame.

One could also relocate into one of the many Live/Work Lofts and Townhomes that are popping up across the nation. The best ones have a "commercial space" on the ground level with plate glass windows and the upper two floors are the living areas. These are becoming more abundant as we see more and more people moving towards self-employment.
when our sales decline, I take the opportunity to grab a vacation. I've given up on trying to plan these things as we always end up having to delay our plans due to periods of high demand that are difficult to keep up with at times, so when the phones go quiet, we sneak out for a bit
