City of Breda, Iowa Addresses Cybersecurity Risks
Breda—like many small cities— has a small staff. With no budget to hire a full-time or even a part-time IT employee, Breda still has IT needs as employees rely on computers and software to perform work. Relying on non-technical city staff to fix IT problems is too risky, and so Breda needed to look at unique IT options that met its needs.

Since contracting with VC3, our existing issues became nonexistent.
IT issues are handled with expediency and the equipment recommended by VC3 is of high quality. When there is a need for onsite service, VC3 is responsive to our requests and usually sends someone out within 24-48 hours depending on the severity of the problem. VC3 technicians are genial, professional, and very patient with those who lack even the most basic IT knowledge.
I enjoy the personal relationship aspect of Manage Essentials
In addition to VC3’s technical help and expertise, I enjoy the personal relationship aspect of Manage Essentials. Their IT engineers are sweet and dear to me. In the Midwest, many of our business dealings are built on a personal relationship. With VC3, it’s easy to develop a personal relationship with them. It’s not just about equipment and services. With a good personal relationship in place, if things do go wrong with IT, it’s so much easier to communicate about what went wrong. It’s fine when everything’s fine, but it’s when things go wrong—that’s when the personal relationship really comes into play.
I knew what kind of IT services I wanted and I found them in VC3
In my previous work experience, IT departments reported to me. I knew fairly well what VC3 proposed to provide our city with Manage Essentials. Once implemented, Manage Essentials provided us a competent, contemporary IT support infrastructure. I am still pleasantly surprised that VC3 responds to service tickets so quickly. I knew what kind of IT services I wanted and I found them in VC3—at a cost that’s doable for a small city.
