GSDSolutions IT Services - Our Values

Our values are our backbone. They allow us to do the right thing even when it’s hard…and, yes, even when we occasionally make “mistakes” or what we prefer to call “learning opportunities.” In fact, these values have helped us build an “employee-first” culture that we continue to improve on every day because there is no “finish line” in building an “employee-first” company, though, there are “prizes” of sorts. Those “prizes” are happier employees which usually lead to happier customers which, in turn, lead to NEW happy customers. “What are these values,” you ask? Keep reading below…

Technology — Always Learning, Growing, and Evolving to Stay Ahead

In technology, “staying ahead” isn’t optional — it’s survival. The IT landscape changes at breakneck speed: new cybersecurity threats emerge daily, software lifecycles shorten, and innovative tools disrupt traditional systems. A truly tech-forward organization cultivates a culture of continuous learning, experimentation, and strategic adaptation.

In Practice:

Continuous Upskilling: Regular training on emerging technologies (e.g., AI, cloud orchestration, zero-trust security, DevSecOps).
Innovation Labs / Pilot Programs: Testing new solutions in controlled environments before rolling them out to clients.
Vendor & Industry Engagement: Partnering with technology leaders, joining beta programs, and attending major IT conferences.
Future-proofing Solutions: Designing architectures that scale and adapt — not just solve today’s problems.

Why It Matters:
Technology leadership builds trust. Clients depend on IT partners to anticipate trends (e.g., automation, compliance shifts, security vulnerabilities) before they become problems.

Integrity — Handling Sensitive Data Responsibly & Acting with Honesty

Integrity in IT goes far beyond good intentions — it involves strict data governance, compliance adherence, and transparent decision-making. IT teams are custodians of confidential data, intellectual property, and critical infrastructure. Any breach of integrity can lead to reputational damage, financial loss, or legal consequences.

In Practice:

Strict Access Controls: Ensuring only authorized personnel can access sensitive systems (e.g., role-based access, MFA, least privilege).
Transparent Security Policies: Documented and enforced protocols for handling client data, incidents, and backups.
Regulatory Compliance: Actively maintaining standards like GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS — not just checking boxes.
Ethical Decision-Making: Refusing shortcuts that may compromise data security or quality, even under pressure.
Incident Honesty: If something goes wrong, informing stakeholders promptly and accurately — no hiding behind jargon.

Why It Matters:
Integrity is the backbone of trust in IT relationships. Clients give access to their digital nervous system; integrity ensures that trust isn’t misplaced.

Communication — Making Tech Simple, Clear, and Human

Communication often makes or breaks IT success. Even the most advanced infrastructure fails if users don’t understand it, or if teams can’t align. In the IT world, this means translating complex systems into human language, managing expectations, and ensuring everyone — from engineers to executives — is on the same page.

In Practice:

Plain-Language Documentation: Replacing jargon-heavy manuals with clear, visual, user-centric guides.
Active Listening: Understanding the real business challenge before proposing technical solutions.
Proactive Updates: Informing stakeholders about system changes, maintenance, or incidents before they become problems.
Bridge Building: Acting as translators between technical specialists and non-technical teams (e.g., finance, legal, marketing).
Empathy in Support: Treating end-user issues not as tickets but as people needing help.

Why It Matters:
Clear communication reduces downtime, prevents costly misunderstandings, and turns IT from a “black box” into a trusted partner.

Accountability — Owning Work, Results, and Excellence

Accountability in IT means standing behind every configuration, deployment, and recommendation. Technology environments are complex, and mistakes can have real-world consequences. True accountability builds reliability and confidence over time.

In Practice:

Robust Documentation & Change Logs: Every update or deployment is tracked, so issues can be traced and learned from.
Service Level Commitments: Defining clear response times, uptime guarantees, and resolution expectations.
Post-Incident Reviews: Analyzing failures or breaches transparently to improve systems, not to assign blame.
Measurable Outcomes: Using KPIs and dashboards to show real impact (e.g., reduced downtime, faster response times).
Client Partnership Mindset: Taking ownership of the solution end-to-end, not just “our part of the network.”

Why It Matters:
Accountability turns promises into results. In IT, this reliability is what distinguishes a true strategic partner from a service vendor.

Our History

GSDSolutions was founded in 2018 but our history stretches well beyond that. Some of us even have experience with “mainframes”…really. (What’s old is new again as mainframes have been re-branded as “big iron,” but we digress.) That said, history is useless if you don’t learn something from it. Our history has taught us that, beyond making money, we want to be a company that has values (see above) and that achieves some modest goals – goals like acquiring new customers, hiring great people, giving back to the community and so on. Perhaps our history sounds similar to yours?
