Hedgehog Technology Services and Klass Act Solutions combine efforts as they service the IoT industry

Richard Feller, owner and partner at Hedgehog Technology Services was invited to spend the day with Kurt Kruel, Vice President of Klass Act Solutions to expand our efforts to see how the Internet of Things (IoT) is making our world more technological from integration all the way through to the cloud.

Klass Act Solutions, a 13 year old tech company located in Melbourne, FL, has established themselves as the leading integrator of IoT in markets from  the Central Florida area in and through to the East Coast, including the ever growing market that surrounds the tech heavy Space Coast.

With many of these IoT technologies being hosted in cloud environments maintained and serviced by Hedgehog Technology Services, the team at Hedgehog along with the team at Klass Act saw a great opportunity to get a full picture of the work we both do. 

To that end, Richard spent the day onsite with Kurt as Klass Act implemented a myriad of technology products, including indoor and outdoor wifi camera systems, secure and tamper-proof key-free wifi deadbolt locks, wifi thermostat systems and wifi smoke & carbon dioxide detectors for one of their clients. Richard recalls how "...It was really great to see how the IoT that the team at Hedgehog generally only supports and manages in the cloud is implemented to the actual end user."  and in talking with the end user customer, "one of the things that stood out most to both Hedgehog and Klass Act was the homeowners desire to work with companies that were customer service focused, not just on one end of the spectrum... but from installation to the ongoing support long after the installation is complete."

In the end, the day was a huge success and both companies came out with a stronger view of how the Internet of Things is changing peoples lives and adding value to what both companies have been doing for almost two decades. 

It should also be mentioned that both companies are members of the Consumer Technology Association where they have collaborated on many issues within the CTA Small Business Council including visiting Capitol Hill to urge our elected officials to continue to support legislation that is beneficial to both tech companies and small businesses.

Thank you to Robbin and Kurt from Klass Act Solutions for this great opportunity and we look forward to working with you as the future of IoT keeps expanding exponentially.

Hedgehog's Hybrid IT Services Are Allowing Companies To Succeed

Hedgehog Technology Services believes strongly in the Hybrid IT services we provide.  More and more of our clients have both a cloud based environment, which is sometimes sourced outside the Hedgehog network, working in conjunction with their physically hosted environment at Hedgehog Hosting. We believe this model creates a best-of-both worlds infrastructure.

But every company is different and has its own specific business requirements.  That is why a hybrid IT strategy is so compelling. In  a recent posting by Data Center Knowledge, an industry publication, a white paper was offered showing how to combine any number of on-premise and off-premise technologies with different delivery models to create and implement solutions that best meet the unique needs of clients like ours.  

This white paper shows you how a flexible IT environment allows companies like Hedgehog Technology Services help you to build the perfect solution to suit your companies hosted technology needs.
