A South Florida IT partner who has been around the block.

Our story

Our roots in the technology industry go back to September 1989, when our founder—having grown tired of working on Ataris, Commodores, and ZX Spectrums—decided to venture into more business-oriented pastures and began a new chapter in his technical career at an IBM dealership.

At the time, Microsoft Windows 2.11 was considered cutting-edge, networks ran on Token Ring, file servers were powered by Novell NetWare, and IPX/SNA ruled over TCP/IP. The internet—which would be dubbed as "the information superhighway" in a few short years — was nothing more than a bumpy dirt road.

During his tenure at the IBM dealership, he supported the IT teams of prominent IBM clients of the era—including 3M, Procter & Gamble, Gillette, Unilever, Hoechst, BASF, and Sheraton Hotels—and dozens of local businesses.

Our founder (before falling prey to male pattern baldness) tending to yet another emergency on the trading floor during his tenure at a brokerage firm — circa October 1993. He is the one standing on the right side of the picture.

He later moved from his technical position at the dealership into a senior, yet hands-on role as MIS Director for a securities brokerage with branch offices in eight cities and an annual trading volume of $1.45 billion. There, he managed the company’s entire computer infrastructure, oversaw network expansions, directed and actively took part in day-to-day IT operations in an environment where the stakes were high and the technology had to work—every minute of every day, without exception.

That experience — managing mission-critical systems in a demanding, fast-moving financial environment — shaped the way we approach every client engagement, whether it's a five-person aviation parts dealer, fifty-person investment partnership, or a hundred-person plus law office. We know what it means for a business to depend entirely on its technology, and we treat that responsibility seriously.

In October 1994 we made South Florida home, and began supporting local businesses directly. In April 2000, we snatched the domain name timent.com and Timent (short for Time Enterprises) Technologies was formally incorporated to better serve the growing number of businesses relying on us — and we've been doing exactly that ever since. Over three decades later, majority of the businesses we work with today have been with us since day one, with a particular Pompano Beach accounting firm giving us the privilege to serve them since 1994 (even before we incorporated), an FAA repair station in Miami since 2000, and a Ft. Lauderdale based law office since 2003. This kind of continuity doesn't happen by accident.

Who we serve

We work exclusively with businesses and our clients are small to mid-size companies, typically between 5 and 100 employees, across a wide range of industries throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Just a few of the industries we serve include law offices, CPAs and accounting firms, real estate developers and property managers, HOA management companies, aviation and aerospace suppliers, aviation parts dealers, FAA repair facilities, insurance companies, medical and professional offices, general contractor (GC) operations, construction and contracting firms, engineering and architecture practices, pharmaceutical and research companies, logistics and transportation companies, communications and media firms and many more.

What these businesses have in common isn't their industry — it's that they depend on their technology to run, and they need someone they can call who knows their setup, understands their business, and gets things handled without drama.

How we work

We don't operate as a managed service provider. There are no monthly retainers, no per-seat fees, and no flat invoices arriving whether we performed beneficial work or not. You pay for the work we do — and when your systems are running smoothly and you don't need us, you won't hear from us and you won't get a bill.

What you will get is a team that becomes genuinely familiar with your business — your network, your software, your workflows, and the things that matter most to your operation. When something goes wrong, you call us directly. Not a call center, not a help desk queue — us directly. The same people who set up your infrastructure and know exactly how it's supposed to run.

We also act as the bridge between you and any other technology vendors you work with — whether it's your industry-specific software provider, internet service provider, VoIP vendor, copier supplier, or camera and even access control partner . You don't have to manage multiple vendor relationships or translate between technical people and business needs. That's what we're here for.

Ongoing infrastructure monitoring

With your permission, we set up vendor- and manufacturer-issued alerts for individual device alarms along with notifications for critical fixes, patches, and updates for all your networking hardware and server operating systems, at no charge to you. When an urgent or routine update is required, we notify you promptly, again at no cost. We also notify you of important updates that may need to be applied to your workstations or applications, such as fixes for major security vulnerabilities.

If you are comfortable handling any of these in-house, then you are all set. If you would prefer us to handle them for you, we will gladly do so, coordinate with your staff to minimize or eliminate the downtime, and bill you only for the actual time the process takes, whether the work is performed on-site or remotely.

This approach ensures that you remain informed about everything that needs attention without being billed simply for receiving advice about the actions you may need to take.
