Most small businesses in Southwest Florida don't need a bigger IT vendor. They need someone who picks up the phone, knows their network, and shows up when a technician has to be in the room. That's the company Evan Fannin set out to build when he founded The Network Gurus more than 15 years ago, after learning networking in the U.S. Air Force.

Today we're a veteran-owned managed services provider based in Englewood, supporting more than 30 organizations and 600+ devices across Sarasota and Manatee counties, from Venice and North Port to Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch.

Our clients are mostly businesses where downtime and data exposure carry real consequences. Dermatology and medical practices rely on us for HIPAA-aligned systems, encrypted devices, and tested backups. Auto dealerships rely on us for FTC Safeguards Rule controls, segmented showroom and F&I networks, and DMS uptime. Law and CPA firms rely on us to protect client files and keep remote staff productive.

What clients get:

A complete outsourced IT department: unlimited help desk, 24/7 monitoring, patching, and on-site visits from local technicians
Security included rather than sold as add-ons: endpoint detection and response, email filtering, enforced multi-factor authentication, staff training, and managed firewalls
Microsoft 365 administration, migrations, and licensing reviews
Backup and disaster recovery with written plans, including hurricane preparation
3CX cloud phone systems, deployed and supported by a 3CX Silver Partner
Quarterly planning sessions and a client portal that shows every ticket, asset, and recommendation
Pricing is one flat monthly rate per user, so budgets don't swing when something breaks. Support requests are answered in under 15 minutes on average during business hours.

New clients start with a no-cost IT and compliance assessment that ends in a written, prioritized list of what to fix first.
