Successful Connections A Datto Networking Case Study
Success in business varies greatly and is influenced by the unique qualities of its leaders. Antwine Jackson, founder of Enitech Solutions, embodies a visionary approach focused on community service and empowerment. His work in Raleigh and Charlotte emphasizes IT solutions as tools for enriching lives.?
In contrast, Chris Bond, CEO of Innovative Technology Solutions, is a technical expert with over 24 years of experience. His passion for problem-solving drives him to align IT solutions with business goals, particularly in the medical sector, ensuring growth and efficiency.?
Together, Antwine and Chris illustrate that there are multiple paths to success in the IT industry, with effective leadership rooted in individual strengths and values.?
For Antwine Jackson, the key to building strong customer relationships lies in the power of storytelling. What truly sets Enitech Solutions apart is the consistent, high-quality experience they deliver to clients. This experience is not just about solving problems—Antwine understands that technology is more than just a tool; it’s a means to empower people, enhance their lives, and help them achieve their goals.
This belief is why he prioritizes peace of mind for his clients. "Datto means peace of mind," he explains, highlighting how a reliable partnership with Datto allows him to reassure clients that their IT needs are in good hands.?
This focus on experience has been instrumental in creating strong, long-lasting, and "sticky" relationships with clients. These sticky relationships are built on trust and reliability, ensuring that clients trust that Antwine and his team will be there for them every step of the way - not just as a service provider but as a trusted partner committed to their ongoing success.?
Chris Bond’s approach to customer relationships is characterized by his technical expertise and a deep understanding of client needs. He views flexibility as the cornerstone of his business, adapting Innovative Technology Solutions’ services to meet the diverse requirements of his clients. "We sell every way you can sell. We buy hardware, sell hardware, and sell a service," Chris explains.
This adaptability allows Innovative Technology Solutions to cater to a wide range of clients, from small businesses to large enterprises, ensuring that each client receives a solution tailored to their specific needs.?

For Chris, the ability to offer both CapEx (Capital Expenditure) and OpEx (Operational Expenditure) solutions is particularly important in larger, co-managed environments. "We find for us that especially if we're doing in larger co-managed or more enterprise environments, that approach for us seems to work a little better," he notes. Chris’s background in the medical sector has taught him the importance of tailoring solutions to the unique challenges of each client, and his flexible approach ensures that Innovative Technology Solutions can meet those challenges head-on.?
Antwine Jackson has learned the value of shifting from simply providing managed services to offering hardware as a secure, managed service. This approach not only adds an extra layer of security for his clients but also allows his company to better control the quality and reliability of the solutions they deliver. Antwine reflects on this shift: "We're moving towards securing the entire stack, and selling hardware as part of our service has been a game changer. It ensures everything works seamlessly together and provides peace of mind for our clients."?
Meanwhile, Chris Bond’s journey has been marked by a deep understanding of the costs associated with IT management, particularly when it comes to the choices between commodity stacks and more robust solutions. Reflecting on his experiences, Chris emphasizes the hidden costs of opting for cheaper, less reliable technology. "The commonly forgotten cost of using commodity stacks is the time and management overhead required to deal with platforms that don't have consistent management interfaces," he explains. For Chris, the time wasted on trying to make these systems work often outweighs any initial savings, making it clear that investing in quality from the start is crucial.?
The experiences of Antwine Jackson and Chris Bond offer valuable lessons for anyone looking to succeed in the IT industry. Both leaders have demonstrated that there are many paths to success, each shaped by the unique strengths and values of the individual. Whether it’s Antwine’s visionary approach to empowering communities through technology, or Chris’s technical brilliance to solving complex challenges, their stories serve as a testament to the power of staying true to oneself.??
