It’s a quiet June morning in Carmel. Half your team is on vacation. The other half is working from home or bouncing between coffee shops in Broad Ripple and hotel WiFi in Nashville, Tennessee.
And then it happens.
Your system goes down.
The printer stops working.
No one can access shared files.
A phishing e-mail just landed in someone’s inbox.
You call your IT person – and they’re out of office too.
Now what?
Your business is frozen, and there’s no one available to fix it.
Sound dramatic? Maybe.
But unrealistic? Not even a little.
Summer’s Great for Fun – and Terrible for Reactive IT Support
Most small business owners in the Carmel and Indianapolis area don’t realize how much goes into keeping their tech running—until something breaks. And when the only person who knows how to fix it is sipping daiquiris off the grid, you’re stuck.
That’s the reality of reactive IT support.
It works... until it doesn’t. And then you’re left scrambling.
If your summer tech strategy is “Just call Bob if something breaks,” you’re taking a huge risk. Because in June, July, and August:
- Servers still crash.
- Hardware still overheats.
- Hackers still send emails.
- And good luck finding Bob during the Brickyard weekend.
Reactive IT = Constant Firefighting
When you rely on a “fix-it-when-it-breaks” approach:
- Downtime drags on while you wait for support
- Cyberthreats slip through unnoticed
- Minor glitches turn into major failures
- And when Bob’s out of office? You’re out of luck
In summer, when vacations peak and remote work spreads out your team across Indy and beyond, the risk multiplies.
Proactive IT = Peace of Mind (Even When You’re on the Beach)
Partnering with a proactive local IT firm—like PropellerHeads—means you’re never left unprotected. We serve businesses across Carmel, Fishers, Zionsville, and the entire Indy metro area, keeping systems monitored, updated, and supported year-round.
With proactive support, you get:
- 24/7 monitoring and system health checks
- Security patches before problems occur

The Cost of Waiting Until It’s Broken
Downtime can cost Indiana small businesses hundreds to thousands of dollars per minute. A data breach? Even worse—for your wallet and your reputation.
