Innovative IT Services in Ohio and the Popularity of Corporate Technologies

Ohio State is emerging to be a powerful technology hub in the country. Some of its most technologically empowered cities are Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus, all of which are home to some of the biggest tech businesses in the nation. Columbus has been in constant focus as the state’s premier city to lead its financial technology, healthcare, and logistics scene. In 2023, reports indicate that the city’s employment rate in the tech sector increased by more than 22%. In 2022, however, Cincinnati saw a powerful injection of venture capital in its tech sector, which is reported to have been a sum exceeding $300 million.

State-Specific Adaptation

 

With the continual increase in the need for powerful cybersecurity implementations and data management, many small businesses in Ohio have to contend with challenging IT-based and network infrastructure hurdles.

From information technology protocols to data security and regulatory frameworks, the demand for an experienced and well-known managed IT services provider such as Corporate Technologies has never been more important.

Ohio has been facing the brunt of ransomware attacks and data breaches across multiple businesses over the years. In July 2024, the authorities confirmed that there was a large-scale data breach in Columbus that resulted in more than 1 million people losing their personal data.

It is important to understand that Ohio is on the verge of implementing a seamless technological infrastructure for many of its top-notch industries such as construction, retail, real estate, etc., making it a soft target for cybercriminals.

Corporate Technologies has been offering future-proof cybersecurity strategies and AI-based tools and software for Ohio businesses, arming them with powerful incident reporting tools along with the expertise to proactively identify and combat cyber threats, such as malware and ransomware attacks.

Apart from our state-of-the-art intrusion detection systems, we also provide companies with round-the-clock technical and system vigilance services, keeping your IT ecosystem well-defended while you focus on other equally important processes.

Another factor that has been a problem for Ohio businesses is staying compliant with the state’s robust yet continuously updating data security compliance framework.

With a variety of regulatory standards that these businesses have to adhere to, companies are seen at the backfoot when it comes to consistently upgrading their systems, which is also where Corporate Technologies comes into play.

At Corporate Technologies, we have a separate department for compliance-related issues, providing our clients with high-end CaaS (Compliance as a Service) solutions, which mainly comprise cutting-edge automation protocols to ensure your business is up to date with the latest compliance mandates of the state.

In addition, we also provide transparent and automated audit processes, risk assessments, and the quick and seamless integration of enhanced security protocols and data encryptions.

Moreover, we have also realized that Ohio businesses are also facing a shortage of technical resources, mainly talented IT specialists and developers.

While Ohio’s technology sector is seen to be thriving, startup companies and small business organizations often have to face difficulties hiring or finding talented professionals, often having to settle for mediocre employees.

This is where we have upped our game. At Corporate Technologies, we empower Ohio companies to outsource their entire IT and software framework to our third-party partners, remotely providing them with a team of exceptionally skilled and experienced developers and technology experts.

Industry Focus in Ohio

Construction
Construction
Ohio has a powerful construction sector hailed for its technology-forward approach to working on key infrastructural projects, such as developing buildings, railways networks, and much more. Some other key construction projects Ohio is well-known for are building state-of-the-art energy pipelines and highways. In addition, two of its cities, Cleveland and Cincinnati have, over the past 3-4 years, seen the biggest entries of construction companies, which started in 2018. As per a report posted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, from 2018 up to 2022, Ohio construction businesses were able to employ a staggering 5.5 million employees. In addition, it was also speculated that the state is going to further bolster its construction prominence in the coming years, growing by up to 3.6% Corporate Technologies has been instrumental in helping small construction companies bolster their cybersecurity networks empowering them with automated workflows for streamlined productivity levels along with helping them migrate towards cloud data storage systems.
Retail
Retail
A lot of Ohio cities are in constant competition with each other when it comes to boasting a variety of e-commerce retail businesses, especially when you talk about the fall of two major retail giants, Toys-R-Us and Sears. With their exit from the market, Ohio has seen a significant rise in small retail businesses across the state, offering diverse products and services. Plus, Ohio is also renowned for being one of the biggest and most diverse metropolitan states in the country, especially considering its huge demographic of young customers and shoppers. Corporate Technologies has been vital for businesses in Ohio when it comes to implementing storage migrations and digital transformations, especially when you talk about small retail businesses that want to go national. We've not only helped businesses build their unique digital identity and ecosystem but we have also helped them implement state-of-the-art cybersecurity solutions as well.
Real Estate
Real Estate
Ohio is also hailed for its successful real estate industry, accounting for a large portion of the state's gross domestic product. Columbus, a city in Ohio, is ranked 4th in the entire country for its quickly progressing and bolstering real estate economy. The industry is so big that there is a shortage in the supply for residential and commercial properties while the demand is skyrocketing. In addition, another Ohio city, Cincinnati has also been growing its real estate market, especially since 2018. This is all because of the state's popularity for having diverse locations preferable for turnkey businesses and a good rent-to-value ratio. Ohio also has a flexible legal climate and the barrier to entry for businesses is also on the low side.
Transportation
Transportation
Ohio also has an excellent transportation sector that comprises more than 5,200 miles of cargo railroad, more than 11 major airports, 122,000+ miles of public infrastructure (roads and highways), and more than 8 essential water ports. This sheer readiness and availability of infrastructure works wonders for the state's trade and business scene and is a desirable location for many different types of companies. This is also one of the major reasons why globally renowned courier companies such as UPS and FedEx are starting to employ experienced package handles and delivery drivers from Columbus, Ohio.

Ohio's Cybersecurity Challenges and Rising Cyberattacks
As a growing and thriving technology state, Ohio has to contend with numerous cyberattacks all year round.

thanks to the Ohio Data Protection Act, businesses are starting to implement state-of-the-art cybersecurity protocols in the fight against cybercrime. The data security legislation mandates that organizations have to roll out trending cybersecurity strategies to ensure the protection of client/customer data. Businesses neglecting the mandate can be criminally prosecuted under Ohio court laws.
CyberOhio Grant Program: Supporting Businesses in Cyber Defense
Another way Ohio is fighting cybercrime is through its CyberOhio Grant Program.
