What RSPN does

RSPN (Regional Service Provider Network) is a managed IT services provider based in Cedar Falls, Iowa, focused on small and mid-size businesses in the Cedar Valley region (Waterloo and Cedar Falls). Founded to address a gap in proactive, strategic IT support for SMBs, the company delivers outsourced management of IT infrastructure including help desk support, network device monitoring, anti-virus protection, managed firewall, backup and recovery, procurement, and Microsoft 365 and Teams management. Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, anchored by no-cost IT audits and scheduled consultations targeted at Iowa-based SMBs.

The company's service portfolio is built on the ITIL Framework and a standard MSP technology stack — Kaseya (client gateway/service management), Datto and Unitrends (backup and BCDR), Spanning (M365 backup), Pax8 (cloud distribution), RocketCyber (cybersecurity monitoring), Microsoft (productivity and Azure), Cisco Meraki (networking), and HP (endpoints). On top of this stack RSPN layers its own service wrappers: a Unified Backup platform combining backup, ransomware protection, cloud storage, and disaster recovery with automated testing and instant recovery; a Virtual CIO program that delivers interim IT leadership, 24-month roadmaps, and annual IT budgets; and Strategic Projects services covering network design, server/workstation upgrades, IT infrastructure outsourcing (including migrations to Azure and AWS), company moves, staff augmentation, and project management. All staff are stated to have more than 20 years of experience.

RSPN earns revenue through two streams: recurring Managed IT Services contracts (outsourced infrastructure management with proactive support) and project-based Strategic Projects engagements (consulting and implementation). Its primary verticals are Banking and Financial Services (GLBA compliance), Healthcare (HIPAA, BAA-friendly), and Insurance (state regulatory compliance), with secondary verticals in Manufacturing, Law Firms, Senior Care, Restaurants, and Real Estate. In November 2024 RSPN was acquired by Corporate Technologies, a managed services platform operating across 17 markets and 12 states; RSPN continues to serve Cedar Valley clients with the same local team under the parent brand.
