Why eFive
Twenty computers and a break-fix contract used to count as IT. Today your business runs on cloud apps, remote teams, delivery platforms, and AI. So we start earlier and go further: the right hardware, set up once and set up right, policies that follow your people anywhere, security that watches around the clock, and automation that does the repeat work.
Fewer tickets. Fewer billed hours. More time running your business.
What we set up
More than break-fix.The whole stack, run as one.
Devices, cloud, security, AI, and the platforms your business sells through. One team plans it, sets it up, and keeps it running.
Policies that follow your people
Intune and Microsoft Entra apply the same settings and security to every device, on the office network or across the country.
Cloud infrastructure
Servers, storage, and identity in the cloud for teams that need them, planned and run for you.
Cybersecurity
Monitoring and response that helps protect your devices, email, and accounts, plus social engineering training for your team.
AI for your team
Team AI chat connected to your tools and data. We set it up, write the skills your work needs, and train your people to use it well.
Zero trust for AI-first work
People and AI agents share one environment, so neither gets keys it does not need. Secrets live in the system vault, not in plain-text files.
Local AI and GPUs
Built-for-AI workstations and GPU servers, with the networking to run models on your own hardware.
Automatic monitoring
Every device and network link checked around the clock, with alerts that reach us before they reach you.
Platform integrations
DoorDash and Uber Eats, social accounts, online sales, and the apps you already use, connected and run for you.
The platforms you already pay for
Microsoft 365, Teams, and Google Workspace set up properly, plus manufacturer platforms such as HPE virtualization. We match each one to the problem it solves.
Every room
Every room yourbusiness works in.
- 01 / 05
Every desk, ready at first sign-in
Laptops and desktops arrive configured, enrolled in Intune, and protected before anyone signs in. The tower under the desk is backed up too.
- 02 / 05
The counter, connected
Point of sale, the DoorDash and Uber Eats tablets, and the receipt printer, with guest Wi-Fi kept apart from the registers.
- 03 / 05
The closet that runs everything
Switches, firewall, servers, and backup power, labelled and dressed, and watched around the clock so problems reach us first.
- 04 / 05
Meetings that start on time
Teams Rooms or Google Meet hardware, a video bar, and a display that connects on the first try.
- 05 / 05
Room for local AI and heavy work
Workstations with the GPU, memory, and fast storage to run AI models and large files in house, set up and monitored like everything else.
How we work
One path from the box to the backup.
- 01
Source
We pick hardware that fits the work, the room, and the budget, then order it through store.efive.io or our distributors.
- 02
Configure
Firmware, drivers, accounts, and apps are set before a device leaves the bench.
- 03
Enroll
Windows Autopilot and Intune enroll each device at first sign-in, so nobody images machines desk by desk.
- 04
Deploy
Devices arrive ready to use, whether the desk is in your office or in a kitchen three states away.
- 05
Protect
Policies, multi-factor sign-in, endpoint protection, and backups are on from day one.
- 06
Monitor
We watch devices and the network around the clock and fix drift before it turns into a ticket.
- 07
Improve
AI tools, automations, and integrations get added as your team and your work change.
Built around you
What does yourbusiness run on?
Pick the closest match and see where we would start.
A team of 10 to 50 at desks, in meetings, and sometimes at home.
Laptops ready at first sign-in
Autopilot and Intune, no hand imaging.
Meeting rooms that start on time
Video bars, screens, and Teams Rooms.
Phishing training
Drills and short lessons for every inbox.
Backups you can restore
Tested on a schedule, not just switched on.
Setup tips
Small changes thatprevent big tickets.
The same advice we post every week, from real installs.
Setup tip
Put the access pointon the ceiling,not in the closet.
Most access points send their signal down and out. Mount it high, in the middle of the room, so it reaches every desk.
AI security tip
Keep API keysin the vault, notin a .env file.
A plain-text file can be read by any tool on the machine. Windows Credential Manager hands a key only to the account that owns it.
Network tip
Give gueststheir own Wi-Fi.
A separate guest network keeps visitors' phones away from your registers, printers, and file shares.
Backup tip
Restore a backupevery quarter.
A backup you have never restored is a guess. Pick one file and one full machine every three months and bring them back.
Security tip
Turn on multi-factorsign-in first.
It stops most stolen-password sign-ins. Do it before any other security project, for every account.
What we believe
Less manual work,not more billed hours.
- 01
Efficiency over billed hours
We automate the repeat work and charge for outcomes, so what is good for you is good for us.
- 02
Prevent before you repair
A device set up right the first time does not need a technician next month.
- 03
Secure for people and AI
Every account, device, and agent gets only the access it needs, and nothing sits in plain text.
- 04
One partner for the whole stack
From the laptop to the cloud to the delivery tablet on the counter, one team knows how it all connects.
Field notes
Stories and guidesfrom real setups.
