About Us

Take Ctrl was started by Ryan Markel and Scott Giles. They both have experience working for IT providers and are driven by a desire to cater to meet each individual client's needs. They share a vision of what good looks like and are committed to instilling positive changes in the way their clients do business. After working together previously, they decided to go into business together and have found it to be truly rewarding. They continue to provide service the way their clients request and are only limited by their clients' imaginations.

Take Ctrl is a customer-centric business. We very much want to be a part of our clients' growth and success, contributing in any way we can. Our goal is to provide objective insight as to how your business leverages and utilizes technology every day, while regularly re-evaluating your software and systems to ensure they continue to be the most effective solutions available. With this focus in mind, we take great pride in maintaining the performance of our clients' networks. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, "Prevention isn't as exciting as a life-saving surgery after a heart attack. It doesn't create headlines like a massive food recall. Success often doesn't show up until many years later. And even then it's hard to see." We embrace this philosophy with each of our clients by focusing on the little, often mundane, tasks that reduce the potential for network downtime.

Through our years of experience we have been (and continue to be) seeking out products for our clients that provide the utmost security, add increased reliability to critical systems, and to streamline internal and external communication. We also strive to make use of the best support tools in the industry. In conducting this research we have learned what companies have to offer and which products fit best in each situation. Being that we do not sell any of the products we recommend, we are able to remain brand neutral. This allows us to offer objective and unbiased recommendations to meet each clients' needs.
