How Wild Frog Helped K.D. Yoder Build a Secure, Scalable Apple IT Foundation
As K.D. Yoder & Associates grew, their team needed more than ad hoc tech help. Wild Frog stepped in to guide device decisions, strengthen security, and create a more reliable IT environment for a growing business.
About K.D. Yoder & Associates
K.D. Yoder & Associates provides exterior home improvement services including siding, windows, doors, roofing, gutters, decks, fences, and other exterior work for residential clients and builders in the Columbus area.
THE CHALLENGE
Startup Systems
Like most startups, when the company was smaller, their IT strategy was basic and largely reactive.
Security Concerns
As the business grew, leadership wanted stronger protection against phishing, fraud, and other unseen risks.
No IT Partner
Internal staff could troubleshoot some issues, but the business needed a true expert to oversee the whole environment.
Why They Chose Wild Frog
When K.D. Yoder began transitioning to an Apple-based environment, Apple recommended Wild Frog as an Apple-specific IT partner for small businesses. That fit mattered: the team needed Apple expertise, practical guidance, and a partner that could grow with them.
“As we were moved into growth mode, we realized we need to look at our IT. But we didn't have a relationship with anybody to manage the IT process. Now, we’ve been working with Mike for 10 years. ”
-Everett Bradly, COO of K.D. Yoder & Associates-

“My biggest concern was our security. As we were growing as a company, we didn't know all the tools that we would need to help us be more efficient. So that's where Mike was always a good resource for us like, he will always guide us. He’s a good person who has your best intentions in mind.
Wild Frog takes care of all the IT stuff for us behind the scenes. And then if there's anything we need, we just can ask him, what's new in the industry or what we should be looking for, so he's just a good resource with that for us too.”
-Everett Bradley, COO, K.D. Yoder & Associates
