Train your team to spot phishing, avoid common traps, and work more safely everyday with Security Awareness Training. Training is practical, approachable, and focused on real situations, not worst-case scenarios designed to scare them.

Server, Email, Website,& Hosted ServicesAssistance with the configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of on-prem and hosted services, including email, website, and application platforms.

Documentation & Operational AlignmentClear, usable documentation that reflects how systems actually work today, not how they were intended to work years ago. This may include diagrams, process notes, access summaries, or alignment reviews to support continuity, audits, or staff transitions.
Advisory & Project-Based SupportShort, clearly scoped engagements for organizations that need an external perspective or temporary expertise. This can include readiness reviews, second-opinion assessments, project guidance, or support during transitions without taking ownership away from internal teams.

Every situation is a little different, so we keep pricing simple and flexible.Most work is billed hourly, based on the type of service and complexity of the issue.

•   Explain the problem in plain English
•   Walk you through your optionsNo surprises. No pressure.
You decide what makes sense before any work begins.If you're not sure where your situation fits, just reach out. We'll be happy to talk it through.

Hi! 👋
I'm William Quinn, the "Wildcard" behind Wildcard Services.I've been in the Information Technology field since 2013 but have been involved with technology my entire life. I first taught myself HTML and started building websites for my teachers in 7th grade! Even further back, I still remember my first computer running Windows 3.11 for Workgroups in the late 90s (as a kiddo, no less) so I've been really fortunate to grow up beside the technology that's become ubiquitous around us.After working in Higher Education for 10+ years, I've learned a lot with all the hardware, software, experiences, and more that consume us daily, but I noticed one thing that bugged me—IT support always seemed cold. I've talked with so many individuals—from course instructors to the Admissions teams to Maintenance and more—and unanomously received the same thing time and time again: IT never responds, IT isn't nice, IT... I mean, it gets rough. Ultimately, hearing "IT" immediately invoked bad thoughts, and I wanted to fix that.Insert Wildcard Services today—my attempt to bring full IT support, security awareness, and managed services, without the hassle, without the complexity, and with the utmost in kindness and communication. Because ultimately we all need to work together to make everything work. My goal is to take your IT needs and take them off of your plate, allowing you to focus more on what you do best.From simple virus and malware cleanup, security awareness training, website design and management, managed services that include hosting, updates, and support, and anything in-between—I'm happy to handle it all. I'll make everything as simple as can be, forego the complexity that IT terminology brings, and tell you in no-nonsense language exactly what you need so you can make the best choice for you and your business.Curious to learn more, or want to talk about the services I offer? Send me an email—[email protected], or call or text me at 931-240-4482.I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
