ISOCNET: 28+ Years of Innovation & Partnership
Transforming businesses through technology since 1996
Milestones That Shaped Our Story
1996

The Foundation
Where Innovation Began
ISOCNET was founded in June with a vision to bring cutting-edge internet solutions to the Greater Cincinnati area. Starting with just 150 square feet in The Executive Center East, we pioneered the region’s first 56K modem services and comprehensive email security, including virus and spam protection—setting the standard for what reliable internet service could be.
1998

Explosive Growth
Proof of Concept, Proof of Value
Our commitment to excellence paid off dramatically—acquiring over 5,000 customers within our first six months. Recognizing the digital revolution ahead, we expanded into web development services and upgraded our infrastructure, relocating to the prestigious Federal Reserve Bank Building in downtown Cincinnati.
2000

Market Leadership
Establishing Excellence
By the millennium, ISOCNET had earned recognition as one of the top Internet Services and Web Design companies in Greater Cincinnati. As one of the largest Tri-State web development firms, we achieved remarkable growth: 76% increase in commercial accounts, 87% growth in dedicated bandwidth sales, and 100% increase in web development projects.
2002

Strategic Expansion
Scaling for Success
Growth demanded evolution. We expanded from 7 to 12 team members and moved to a spacious 3,500 square foot facility at Turfway Commercial Park in Florence. Our infrastructure grew too, with equipment relocated to the Broadwing building—our main data center and communications hub. Strategic acquisitions of hosting clients from Waltz Business Systems and Insite Metrics broadened our reach.
2004

Technological Innovation
Pioneering Virtualization
ISOCNET stayed ahead of the curve by implementing one of the first iterations of Virtualized Private Servers using operating system-level virtualization. We strengthened our market position by acquiring Internet Access Cincinnati (IAC), the Greater Cincinnati area’s original Internet Service Provider, and upgraded to an advanced data center with raised floors and enhanced climate control.
2006

Navigating Industry Change
Adapting to Market Evolution
When Cincinnati Bell’s DSL services were deregulated, ending third-party provider access, we faced a pivotal challenge. Despite building the region’s second-largest network (after Fuse/CBT), we successfully transitioned existing clients and refocused our expertise on other innovative service offerings.
2008

Resilient Growth
Rising Above Challenges
Demonstrating our resilience and commitment to innovation, we overcame deregulation setbacks by expanding our technology offerings and service excellence. Our growth necessitated another move to a 4,000 square foot facility on Chancellor Drive in Crestview Hills, positioning us for continued success.
2010

Custom Solutions
Building Tomorrow’s Tools Today
Our dedication to providing superior service led us to develop proprietary solutions: our own Content Management System and File Manager to streamline client website management. We also became early adopters of Microsoft’s Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS), the precursor to Office 365, testing it internally before offering it to clients.
2012

Enterprise-Grade Solutions
Fault-Tolerant Excellence
Technology advancement demanded robust solutions. We implemented VMware’s virtualization platform, offering fault-tolerant hosting with comprehensive options. Our team continued professional development across all service areas, ensuring we remained at the forefront of technological capabilities.
2014

Comprehensive IT Partnership
Becoming Your Complete IT Solution
ISOCNET evolved into a full Managed Service Provider (MSP) through the strategic acquisition of IT Definitive (ITD). This transformation positioned us as a true “IT as a Service” company, offering comprehensive technology solutions for every business need.
2016

E-Commerce Revolution
Simplifying Online Success
Recognizing the Software-as-a-Service trend, we partnered with Shopify to offer turnkey e-commerce solutions. This “out-of-the-box” platform proved transformational, providing clients with quick, easy-to-launch online stores requiring minimal maintenance—a true game-changer in digital commerce.
2018

Strategic Partnerships
Leveraging Global Excellence
Smart partnerships enhanced our value proposition. We partnered with Cloudflare for DNS services, providing clients with advanced features and edge-network protection. This strategic approach allowed us to offer enterprise-grade solutions while maintaining our personalized service approach.
2020

Cloud Migration Excellence
Embracing the Microsoft Ecosystem
We transitioned from basic internal mail servers to comprehensive Microsoft 365 implementations, offering clients superior features including Exchange, Office Suite, Cloud Active Directory, and Intune. Our team earned Microsoft certifications, establishing us as expert Microsoft 365 solution providers. We relocated to Houston Road in Florence, KY, reflecting our continued growth.
2022

Cybersecurity Focus
Protecting What Matters Most
Post-COVID digital transformation created new security challenges. We expanded our cybersecurity offerings, making enterprise-grade protection affordable for businesses of all sizes. Our passion for client protection drives us to provide comprehensive security solutions that deliver peace of mind.
2024
