As experts, If you downloaded the new White House app, we’d recommend removing it.

Regardless of political reasons — For security ones.

Last week, independent researchers at atomic.computer published a detailed reverse-engineering of the official White House iOS app.

Here are the three findings that concern us most:

1. The app runs live code from infrastructure with Russian origins.

The app uses six separate embedded browsers (WebViews), each loading live, modifiable JavaScript from a company called Elfsight — a widget provider with Russian origins.

The architecture is a two-stage loader: the app loads an initial script, which then reaches out to Elfsight’s servers to pull down additional code and execute it on your device.

If Elfsight’s server were ever compromised — or if the company were compelled to modify its response — arbitrary JavaScript could execute inside the official White House app on every user’s device.

That’s not a theoretical risk, it’s a structural issue baked into the design.

2. Location tracking is compiled in — and can be turned on remotely.

The app ships with ten separate location-tracking frameworks totaling over 2.4MB, including one specifically called OneSignal Location — despite containing no maps, no local events, and no feature that requires knowing where you are.

The researchers confirmed that GPS tracking is not currently active. But the code is there. The location capability can be activated remotely through a server-side configuration controller — without a user update.

3. The behavioral data collection is extensive.

Even without GPS, the app collects more than most users would expect. The OneSignal SDK built into the app includes over 24 server request types — tracking session duration, notification influence, time spent, network type, device type, in-app message engagement, and custom behavioral events.

This is described as standard SDK behavior. Standard doesn’t mean appropriate for an official government app with no disclosed data policy.

There’s more in the full analysis — including code loaded from a random developer’s GitHub account that, if compromised, could push arbitrary malicious code to every user of the app.

The researchers also note that the production build contains development artifacts — including a localhost URL pointing to a developer’s own machine — that suggest this app was not built with standard security review practices.

Why we’re flagging this

We work with people, businesses, and enterprise organizations every day who trust the tools they install — and who don’t have a security researcher on staff to reverse-engineer what those tools are actually doing. That’s part of why we exist.

The lesson here isn’t unique to this app. It’s a reminder that every piece of software you install on a business or personal device is a decision — and that “official” doesn’t mean “secure.”

What we recommend

If you installed the White House app, remove it. If you’re not sure what apps on your team’s devices might be collecting, that’s worth a conversation with your IT support provider.

And if you’re curious what else might be running quietly in the background on your business systems, we’re always happy to take a look.

Team - tune in next week for another inPulse ⭐

Rather than exploiting software vulnerabilities, this campaign relies on impersonation, user trust, and legitimate tools already built into the Microsoft ecosystem.

Overview of the Attack

Microsoft’s Detection and Response Team reported a voice phishing (vishing) campaign in which threat actors pose as IT support personnel and contact users through Microsoft Teams.

The attack typically follows a structured sequence:

• An attacker initiates contact through Microsoft Teams, presenting themselves as IT support

• The user is informed of an issue requiring immediate attention

• The attacker directs the user to grant remote access using Microsoft Quick Assist

Once access is granted, the attack progresses:

• The attacker gains control of the user’s device

• Activity shifts from social engineering to direct system interaction

• The user is guided to a malicious website

• A spoofed login form is used to capture corporate credentials

• Additional malicious payloads are downloaded onto the device

This approach does not rely on breaking security controls directly. Instead, it uses legitimate access granted by the user.

Key Characteristics

Use of Trusted Platforms

Microsoft Teams is widely used for internal communication, making it a credible channel for impersonation. Messages received through the platform may appear routine, especially in organizations where IT support regularly communicates with employees.

Abuse of Legitimate Tools

Microsoft Quick Assist is a built-in remote support tool designed for legitimate troubleshooting. In this case, it is used to establish initial access without requiring external malware at the outset.

Transition to Hands-On Activity

After access is granted, attackers move beyond conversation and begin interacting directly with the system. This includes navigating the device, directing user actions, and initiating downloads.

Credential Harvesting

Users are directed to spoofed websites designed to resemble legitimate login portals. Entered credentials are captured and can be used for further access within the organization.

Broader Implications

This campaign reflects a broader category of attacks that focus on behavior rather than technical exploitation.

Several trends are evident:

• Collaboration platforms as entry points: Tools like Microsoft Teams are increasingly targeted because they are central to daily operations

• Blending legitimate and malicious activity: The use of built-in tools reduces the likelihood of immediate detection

• Reliance on real-time interaction: Attackers guide users step-by-step, reducing uncertainty and increasing compliance

These attacks can be difficult to identify because they often resemble normal support interactions.

Potential Impact on Organizations

If successful, this type of attack can lead to:

• Unauthorized access to internal systems

• Exposure of corporate credentials

• Installation of additional malware

• Lateral movement within the network

The combination of valid credentials and direct device access can allow attackers to persist within an environment beyond the initial point of entry.

Risk Reduction Considerations

Organizations reviewing this type of threat may consider:

• Restricting inbound communication from unmanaged or unknown Microsoft Teams accounts

• Using allowlists for trusted external domains

• Reviewing policies around remote access tools such as Quick Assist

• Providing guidance to employees on how to verify support requests

User awareness remains an important factor, particularly in recognizing unexpected or urgent requests delivered through familiar platforms.

Closing Note

This incident underscores how modern attacks increasingly rely on trust, familiarity, and real-time interaction, rather than solely on technical vulnerabilities. As collaboration tools continue to play a central role in daily operations, they are also becoming a more common vector for social engineering-based threats.

Last week, we checked in with Jocelyn—our favorite marketing specialist! Read below.

Advice for Canva Users

Q: If you could share one “pro tip” from your week with the team, what would it be?

Jocelyn’s pro tip for this week is related to working in Canva! As the primary marketing person for inWorks LLC, she spends a lot of time in Canva and has become quite familiar with the platform.

“If you are trying to move multiple elements of your graphic at the same time, instead of grabbing each one individually and rearranging them with the right spacing, hold shift and click on each element you want to move — and you can move them at the same time!”

Social Media Launch

Q: What’s a moment from your work this week that felt especially satisfying or meaningful?

For those who might not know, Jocelyn works for our startWorks members as a marketing consultant. This week, she started a new project for one of the clients - a hair salon - on Instagram. Within a couple of days, the client’s account had reached 4750% more accounts and amassed 1033% more views than average.

“It is always satisfying to succeed at something, but even more so when it benefits someone else. It reminded me that I am skilled at what I do and how lucky I am to do something I love!”

See one, Do one, Teach one

Q: When do you feel most confident in your role—and what helps you get there?

Jocelyn gains confidence from guiding others. The principle of “see one, do one, teach one” is a guiding force in both her personal and professional life—the best way to learn something is to see it done, do it yourself, and then teach someone else.

Collaboration with WCU

Q: Is there a company initiative or internal campaign you’re excited about?

Jocelyn is excited about our new internship program. The company has its first official graphic design intern from West Chester University, and Jocelyn has been assigned as her mentor! She’s honored to facilitate the intern’s introduction into their professional field.

Last week, we checked in with Jeremy Mattson—the guy who helps us stay on track financially! Read below.

‘Tis the Season of Tax Prep

Q: Are you working on any project (or has any wrapped up recently) that you’re proud of?

Jeremy has been working hard on streamlining tax prep for this season, as well as sustainability tracking for INW’s small business clients. He recently finished a project that aligned financial data with sustainability metrics, which made reporting clearer and more useful for decision‑making.

Strength in Problem-Solving

Q: When do you feel most confident in your role—and what helps you get there?

Problem-solving at work gives Jeremy confidence in his role - especially when a client or teammate asks a complex question that he can break down into something manageable. Having clear expectations, good documentation, and open communication with the team are essential to helping Jeremy stay focused and confident during the week.

Improved Financial Reporting

Q: What’s something happening in your department that you think other team members should know about?

The accounting/bookkeeping department has been focusing their effort into improving processes and consistency, especially around reporting and documentation. According to Jeremy, this is setting up the business to be more efficient during busy periods, while making it easier for team members to step into new roles or collaborate across departments.

Ingredients for Satisfaction

Q: What does a good workday look like for you lately?

“A good workday usually includes making steady progress on focused tasks, solving at least one meaningful problem, and having a few positive check‑ins with teammates or clients. Ending the day knowing I helped move something forward—no matter how small—always feels like a win.”

A title change happens.
A phone number changes.
A new marketing banner needs to go out.
A legal disclaimer needs to be added.

Suddenly someone is chasing down ten, twenty, or fifty people asking them to update their signatures manually. Different devices format things differently. Branding drifts. Old information lingers in email threads for months.

It’s a small operational issue that quietly creates a lot of friction.

Why Email Signature Management Becomes a Problem

Most organizations handle signatures individually. Each employee manages their own settings in Outlook or their email client.

That creates a few common challenges:

• Branding becomes inconsistent

• Updates require manual effort from every employee

• Marketing banners or announcements are difficult to deploy

• Signatures behave differently across desktop, web, and mobile

• Legal disclaimers are hard to enforce consistently

For companies trying to maintain a professional brand presence, this becomes an ongoing maintenance task.

Our New Partnership with CodeTwo

To help solve this, inWorks LLC is now an official partner of CodeTwo.

CodeTwo provides a centralized email signature management platform designed specifically for Microsoft 365 environments.

The solution — CodeTwo Email Signatures for Microsoft 365 — allows organizations to manage signatures in one place and automatically apply them to outgoing email.

No manual updates required from individual employees.

What This Means for Businesses Using Microsoft 365

With CodeTwo in place, organizations gain:

Centralized signature management
Update signatures once and apply changes across the entire company.

Consistent branding
Every email sent from your organization reflects the same formatting, contact information, and visual identity.

Automatic marketing banners
Promote events, announcements, or services directly in your email signature.

Reliable cross-device formatting
Signatures remain consistent across Outlook desktop, Outlook web, and mobile devices.

Server-side signature application
Signatures can be applied automatically within Microsoft 365, ensuring consistency even when emails are sent from mobile devices or third-party clients.

Why We’re Offering This to Our Clients

At inWorks, we focus on operational improvements that remove small but persistent sources of friction for businesses.

Email signatures are a perfect example.

They represent your brand in every conversation your team has. A centralized system protects that brand presence while saving time on administrative updates.

Through our partnership with CodeTwo, we can now help clients:

• Plan their signature structure

• Deploy the system within Microsoft 365

Kicking off our 2026 updates, last week we got caught up with our CEO, Ilya!

A Process That’s Starting to Hum

Q: What’s something you do now that feels smoother than it did a month ago?

For Ilya, billing has always been a part of his role that he did not particularly enjoy. However, we’re happy to report that there have been recent incremental improvements to the process that make this task feel less painful overall.

The Power of a Smooth Migration

Q: Has anything wrapped up recently that you’re proud of?

Ilya worked on an IT migration project earlier this month. He is proud of how successful the migration was (zero issues!), from planning to communications with the client. As a result, this project generated additional business for power platform development and workflow!

Speaking Up in a New Environment

Q: What’s a piece of advice you’d give to someone new joining the team?

“It's okay to feel a little lost and to ask for directions. Coming into a new environment is always overwhelming, and you should expect to take some time to get oriented - it is much easier to do that if you ask lots of questions.”

When Curiosity Meets Positive Drive

Q: Is there someone on the team you’d like to recognize or celebrate?

Ilya's shout out this week is for Jocelyn (marketing specialist)! She has been a consistent positive force to work with one-on-one as well as in a team setting. Ilya appreciates her exploratory energy and approach to new topics/technology, such as using AI as a learning enhancement tool.

Choosing Practices That Replenish

Q: What’s something outside of work that’s been quietly fueling your creativity?

We all need to find things to fuel our souls. For Ilya, rediscovering his love of playing music has been a recent development.

“I've picked up guitar again and started looking at some music production tools that I used to play with, back when I had spare time. I've also decided to get back to glass fusion.”

Additionally, Ilya has been doing a weekly 24 to 36-hour broth-based fast that he calls “Brothday" for 40 weeks now. This functions as a nice reset for his mind and body. He even started a "fasting primer" book on history, culture, benefits, and pitfalls of fasting, with help from AI.

Two of the most recognized platforms are FreeTaxUSA and TurboTax. Both file returns electronically. Both use official IRS forms. Both follow the same tax laws.

Yet an increasing number of filers—especially those with moderately complex returns—are choosing FreeTaxUSA.

Here’s why.

1. Significantly Lower Cost Structure

FreeTaxUSA’s pricing model is straightforward:

• Federal filing is typically $0—even for itemized deductions, investments, or self-employment income.

• State returns carry a flat, modest fee.

TurboTax often advertises free filing. However, many common situations—such as freelance income, investment activity, or rental property—trigger paid upgrades.

For professionals managing cash flow carefully, that difference matters.

For most filers with anything beyond a basic W-2, FreeTaxUSA frequently ends up costing far less.

2. Fewer Mid-Process Upsells

Predictability builds trust.

FreeTaxUSA is clear about what is included at each tier before you begin. The platform does not routinely interrupt the filing process with upgrade prompts when new forms appear.

TurboTax is known for prompting users to move into higher-priced tiers when certain income types or deductions are detected.

3. Same IRS Forms. Same Calculations.

Both platforms:

• Use official IRS forms

• Follow current federal and state tax regulations

• Perform automated calculations

Choosing a lower-cost option does not reduce the legitimacy or accuracy of your return.

The difference is largely pricing strategy—not compliance standards.

4. Better Value for “Non-Simple” Returns

Many professionals do not have what software companies define as a “simple return.”

FreeTaxUSA includes, at no additional federal cost:

• Itemized deductions

• Capital gains and investment income

• HSA contributions

• Rental property income (Schedule E)

• Self-employment income (Schedule C)

These same scenarios commonly require paid upgrades in TurboTax.

For freelancers, consultants, real estate investors, and side-business owners, that pricing distinction can be significant.

5. Straightforward Interface

TurboTax is highly polished and visually refined. For some users, that guided design feels reassuring.

FreeTaxUSA takes a more direct approach. The interface is clean, text-forward, and less promotional in tone.

Professionals who prioritize efficiency often prefer a platform that feels procedural rather than sales-oriented.

6. Optional Support—Only If You Want It

FreeTaxUSA offers paid Deluxe and Pro Support tiers that include audit assistance and access to live support.

The key distinction: support is optional.

You are not automatically placed into a higher tier simply because your tax situation includes additional forms.

For self-directed filers who occasionally want reassurance, this creates a balanced model between full DIY and full-service accounting.

A Broader Consideration: Pricing Transparency and Control

For business owners and professionals, software decisions are rarely about a single transaction. They reflect broader values:

• Cost predictability

• Transparency

• Control over workflow

• Reduced friction

When evaluating tax platforms, many filers discover that FreeTaxUSA aligns more closely with those priorities. Both platforms are legitimate. Both are widely used.

The question becomes less about brand recognition and more about which pricing model and user experience align with your working style.

Our consensus? If the IRS knows how much you owe in taxes, and they are still making you guess — you might as well get the most tax bang for your tax buck.

Leadership asks whether the intranet is “working.”
You can pull analytics.
But the numbers don’t seem to answer the question.

Recently, at intranetValet, we felt urged to run usage reports across Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams to determine what was active versus dormant. The question is always practical — leaders want to know what is being used and what isn’t.

Organizations need a structured, recurring intranet activity summary that translates platform data into operational insight.

For operations directors, internal communications teams, and nonprofit leaders navigating politically complex environments, that distinction matters.

Why Monthly Reporting Matters

One-time analytics pull answers a momentary question. A monthly summary creates institutional awareness of your tools.

Consistent reporting reframes your intranet as an essential piece of infrastructure (which, it is). These insights shift conversations into budgeting for useful infrastructure, establishing online governance, and keeping people accountable for intranet activity.

Separating adoption issues from design issues

Is your low intranet engagement a user issue? Or is your intranet inaccessible, poorly designed, or simply dead?

Monthly reporting helps you test these questions.

For example:

• Are the most visited pages compliance-driven or mission-driven?

• Did traffic spike after a leadership announcement and then drop?

• Are certain departments consistently absent from collaboration metrics?

• Are new Teams being created without sustained activity?

When you compare trends month over month, patterns emerge. And patterns lead to targeted decisions — navigation changes, governance updates, training interventions, or content restructuring without guessing.

A Managed Reporting System for Leadership

At intranetValet, we provide structured monthly intranet usage reporting designed for management teams, executives, and operational leaders who need clarity.

We translate activity across Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams into a concise, executive-ready summary that answers the questions leadership actually asks:

• Is the intranet being used?

• Where is collaboration increasing or declining?

• Are we building structure — or sprawl?

• What requires attention before it becomes a problem?

We offer a recurring operational brief that connects platform activity to governance, adoption, and organizational behavior.

For executive teams, this provides visibility.
For operations leaders, it supports decision-making.
For technology stakeholders, it creates measurable accountability.

If Your Leadership Team Cannot Clearly Answer How Your Intranet Is Performing

If your organization would benefit from structured, recurring insight into intranet engagement, collaboration trends, and governance signals, intranetValet can implement a monthly reporting system that makes your digital workplace observable and actionable.

Clarity at the system level changes how organizations operate.

If you are ready to manage your intranet like infrastructure — not storage — let’s start the conversation.

If you have, you are certainly not imagining it. It’s called the Gartner Hype Cycle.

At its core, the Hype Cycle is a way of describing how new technologies tend to be adopted over time — emotionally, organizationally, and practically. Almost every emerging technology follows the same rough path:

1. Innovation Trigger
   A breakthrough or idea appears. Early demos look promising. Few people are using it, but excitement builds.

2. Peak of Inflated Expectations
   Headlines explode. Vendors overpromise. Leaders expect instant transformation. Reality hasn’t caught up yet.

3. Trough of Disillusionment
   The cracks show. Projects stall. Tools don’t magically fix broken processes. Many people give up here.

4. Slope of Enlightenment
   The technology doesn’t disappear — it gets quieter. Practical use cases emerge. Expectations normalize.

5. Plateau of Productivity
   The technology becomes boring — and that’s a good thing. It’s stable, useful, and integrated into real work.

We care about the Hype Cycle because most tech failures aren’t technical failures. They are instances of inflated expectation. When organizations adopt tools at the peak without the systems, support, or clarity to sustain them, chaos follows.

With that lens, let’s look at three very current technologies — and where they realistically sit on the curve.

1. AI-Native Development Platforms

(Hovering near the Peak of Inflated Expectations)

AI-native development platforms are tools built to work with AI at every stage of software creation, using human intent and oversight to guide AI-generated code and workflows.

AI-native development platforms promise something incredibly appealing:

“Build software faster, with fewer people, using AI as a built-in collaborator.”

Instead of writing every line of code manually, developers can describe what they want, refine outputs, and let AI handle repetitive or boilerplate work. In theory, this lowers costs, speeds up development, and makes software creation more accessible.

The promise is real, but the hype is high.

What’s often missing from the conversation is that software is more than code. It’s decisions, tradeoffs, maintenance, documentation, and long-term responsibility. AI can accelerate parts of the process, but it doesn’t replace:

• Clear requirements

• Thoughtful architecture

• Ongoing ownership

• Governance and security

Many teams adopt these platforms expecting immediate efficiency gains, only to discover they’ve created systems that are harder to understand, harder to debug, and harder to maintain.

Why this matters:
AI-native platforms are powerful when paired with strong systems thinking. Without that foundation, they amplify confusion instead of reducing it.

The organizations that will benefit most are the ones using AI to support human judgment.

2. Multi-Agent AI Systems

(Sliding toward the Trough of Disillusionment)

Multi-agent AI systems are setups where instead of one AI doing everything, different agents may plan work, carry out actions, check results, or refine outputs. These systems are designed to handle more complex workflow. When used thoughtfully, multi-agent systems can improve efficiency in narrow, well-defined use cases — but they still require human guidance and clear structure to remain reliable.

Multi-agent systems are exactly what they sound like: instead of one AI doing one task, you have multiple AI “agents” working together, each responsible for a role — planning, executing, checking, refining.

On paper, it looks like digital teamwork.

However, when practiced it can become complicated.

Coordinating multiple agents introduces new challenges:

• Who’s responsible when something goes wrong?

• How do you validate decisions made by autonomous systems?

• How much oversight is required to keep things reliable?

A lot of organizations jumped into agent-based systems hoping they’d replace large chunks of human labor. Many are now realizing that managing AI agents still requires people, structure, and ongoing care.

This doesn’t mean agentic AI is a dead end. We’re leaving the fantasy stage and entering the reality stage.

Why this matters:
Multi-agent systems work best in narrow, well-defined environments — not as general replacements for teams or workflows. The hype suggested autonomy. The reality demands stewardship.

3. Preemptive Cybersecurity & AI-Driven Defense

(Climbing the Slope of Enlightenment)

Cybersecurity has traditionally been reactive:

• Something breaks

• Something gets breached

• Everyone scrambles

Preemptive cybersecurity flips that model.

Using AI, behavioral analysis, and pattern recognition, these systems aim to identify risks before damage occurs — unusual logins, abnormal access patterns, or system behavior that doesn’t match the norm.

Unlike many AI trends, this one is becoming quietly practical.

Organizations are using these tools to:

• Reduce response time

• Catch issues earlier

• Lower the emotional and operational cost of emergencies

There’s still complexity here — AI can produce false positives, and attackers adapt — but expectations are becoming more realistic.

Why this matters:
This technology succeeds because it aligns with how people actually work. It supports human decision-making instead of replacing it, and it acknowledges that prevention is more sustainable than constant recovery.

The Real Takeaway: Tools Can’t Function Without Context

The Gartner Hype Cycle is about recognizing that timing, expectations, and support systems matter just as much as innovation.

At inWorks LLC, we don’t chase trends. We focus on:

• Clarity over novelty

• Stability over spectacle

• Systems people can actually live with

The most successful organizations aren’t the first to adopt new technology — they’re the ones who adopt it with intention, at the right moment, with the right support.

It usually starts with something like this:

“We know we should be doing more marketing… but it already feels overwhelming.”

What’s striking is that the overwhelm rarely comes from ideas.
It comes from everything that surrounds them.

Planning. Drafting. Rewriting. Repurposing. Scheduling. Reviewing. Measuring.
Then doing it all again the next week.

Marketing doesn’t break people because it’s creative.
It breaks them because it’s endless.

The Problem Isn’t Effort — It’s Structure

At inWorks LLC, we’ve spent more than 15 years designing and supporting technology systems for real people doing real work. Across IT support, home technology, and intranets, we’ve learned a consistent truth:

When systems lack structure, people absorb the friction.

Marketing is no different.

Without clear workflows, guardrails, and shared understanding, marketing becomes reactive. Everything lives in people’s heads. Consistency depends on energy levels. And even good teams feel like they’re always behind.

Why We Started Applying AI Carefully

Like many organizations, we didn’t approach AI because we wanted to move faster or publish more. We approached it because we wanted marketing to feel more sustainable.

So instead of asking, “What can we automate?”
We asked:

• What work is truly repetitive?

• Where do humans need to stay firmly in control?

• What guardrails protect voice, ethics, and trust?

• How do we make this support people instead of extracting more from them?

The result wasn’t a tool stack or a prompt library.
It was a system.

A System, not a Shortcut

The AI-supported marketing system we use at inWorks is built around a simple idea:

AI can support strategy, planning, drafting, and repurposing —
but humans remain responsible for meaning, judgment, and care.

This same thinking shapes the marketing behind startWorks, where sustainability, clarity, and structure are core values. No hustle culture. No pressure to perform. Just systems that make it easier to show up consistently and honestly.

The goal isn’t to remove humans from marketing.
It’s to remove unnecessary strain.

Sharing the System (Without the Hype)

We’re hosting a free, educational webinar to walk through how this system works in practice:

Marketing Automation Without Losing the Human Touch

This session isn’t about tools, trends, or “AI hacks.”
It’s about:

• Reducing repetitive marketing work

• Designing ethical guardrails

• Building workflows that hold up over time

• Keeping people — not platforms — at the center

We’ll talk through how the system is structured, how it runs week to week, and where automation helps versus where it shouldn’t.

If you’re part of a small team, managing marketing alongside everything else, or simply tired of starting from scratch every week, this may resonate.

At the end of the session, we’ll briefly share how similar systems can be adapted for other organizations or applied to different semi-automatable processes — but the primary focus is education and clarity.

Marketing doesn’t need more urgency.
It needs better support.

We hope this conversation helps move things in that direction.

Something breaks. A deadline is looming. A workaround gets the job done and the business keeps moving. From the outside, it looks like adaptability; the team doing what they need to do to keep things running.

But over time, those small decisions begin to shape how work actually happens. And that’s where the real cost shows up.

When Temporary Fixes Become Permanent Behavior

Most teams don’t intentionally build fragile systems. They respond to pressure, and never circle back. If it isn’t broken, you shouldn’t fix it, right?

The problem is rarely the workaround itself. The problem is when the workaround becomes the system.

Once temporary fixes harden into everyday operations, they quietly change how people experience their work.

The Compounding Costs Teams Rarely Measure

Workarounds don’t usually fail loudly. They fail slowly.

Here’s what they create over time:

• Time lost to inefficiency — Simple tasks take longer than they should. Work depends on specific people instead of clear systems. Progress becomes fragile.

• Employee frustration and burnout — Teams compensate for broken processes with extra effort. Cognitive load increases. Confidence drops.

• Risk that compounds quietly — Security gaps, data loss, compliance issues, and operational failures grow unnoticed until they surface as emergencies.

None of this feels urgent at first. Which is why it’s easy to ignore.

Why “Just Making It Work” Isn’t Resilience

Short-term fixes are often framed as grit or flexibility; In reality, they’re a form of technical debt.

Technical debt is any decision that trades long-term stability for short-term relief. The interest is paid later—in outages, stress, missed opportunities, and constant firefighting. Soon, what seemed quick and cheap upfront has real, costly, monetary consequences.

Stability Is What Enables Growth

There’s a common belief that stable systems are something organizations invest in after they scale. However, the opposite is true.

Stability is what allows growth to happen without breaking people or processes.

Clear, well-designed systems reduce decision fatigue. They make work predictable. They create space for creativity, focus, and meaningful contribution.

A Better Question for Leaders

Instead of asking how much longer a workaround can last, try asking: What is this workaround protecting us from fixing?

Treat every workaround as a signal, pointing you towards a missing structure, unclear ownership, or system that was never designed for real-world use.

Addressing those gaps respects the people who rely on these systems every day.

Our Key

At inWorks LLC, we believe technology should support people. Resilience isn’t built on patches. It’s built on foundations that can actually hold.

Organizations that prioritize ethical, accessible, and well-governed systems create environments where work can happen without chaos.

For a company that thrives through doing everything, it is important to recognize what inWorks is not—and why that distinction is essential for sustainable, scalable work.

What inWorks Is Not

InWorks LLC is not:

• A software reseller focused on selling the latest tools

• A consulting firm built on jargon, hype, or trend-chasing

• A hustle-culture-driven tech provider promising quick fixes

• A fear-based IT vendor that profits from emergencies

Many organizations adopt technology solutions that increase complexity, reduce usability, and create long-term operational friction. These systems often fail because they prioritize tools over people.

The Problem With Tool-First Technology Solutions

Tool-first technology strategies often result in:

• Low system adoption

• Fragmented workflows

• Increased support tickets and reactive IT issues

• Burnout among creative teams and small business owners

When technology is implemented without governance, accessibility, and long-term planning, it adds chaos instead of clarity.

What inWorks LLC Does Instead

InWorks LLC builds ethical, accessible technology systems designed to support real people doing meaningful work. Our approach emphasizes infrastructure over hype and stability over speed.

We:

• Design scalable systems that grow with organizational needs

• Provide proactive IT support that prevents problems

• Build clear, usable workflows for daily operations

• Support creatives, small businesses, households, and organizations with calm, reliable tech

Our services include outsourced IT support, in-home technology assistance, and intranet system management—each tailored to the people using the systems.

Human-Centered Technology as Infrastructure

Technology should function as infrastructure: reliable, supportive, and unobtrusive. When systems are designed with people in mind, they enable creativity, productivity, and sustainable growth.

Human-centered IT systems reduce confusion, minimize downtime, and support long-term operational health.

Our Key

Technology should work for people—not the other way around.

Organizations that prioritize ethical, accessible, and well-governed systems create environments where work can happen without chaos.

This structure supports accountability and accuracy. But it also introduces friction.

Across industries, we see leaders and subject-matter experts spending significant time managing communication instead of focusing on strategy, customers, and execution.

Each additional review cycle, duplicated draft, or clarification meeting absorbs hours of highly skilled work. As message volume increases, those inefficiencies compound into measurable operational costs.

The Hidden Cost of Inefficient Internal Communication

Most organizations don’t immediately label this as a communication problem. Instead, it shows up as:

• Slower decision-making

• Repeated work across departments

• Delays in sharing important updates

• Inconsistent or fragmented messaging

• Leadership bottlenecks during approvals

Over time, teams adapt. Workarounds emerge. And inefficiency becomes part of the operating rhythm — even when it quietly drains productivity.

Designing Communication as a System

This is where intranetValet from inWorks LLC creates impact.

Internal communication is not just about publishing content. It’s about the systems behind that content: how messages are drafted, reviewed, approved, distributed, and measured across email, intranet platforms, and collaboration tools.

IntranetValet helps organizations design and manage these workflows using a SharePoint-native approach. By centralizing collaboration and refining how drafts, reviews, and approvals move through the organization, teams can reduce unnecessary touchpoints while maintaining governance and clarity.

The outcome is practical and measurable:

• Faster delivery of internal communications

• More consistent, professional messaging

• Reduced workload for leaders and reviewers

• Clear insight into how information moves across the organization

Most importantly, organizations stop absorbing costs tied to inefficiency they’ve simply learned to tolerate.

Thoughtful Use of AI in Internal Communications

AI is becoming a meaningful part of how businesses operate, including how they communicate internally. Used well, it accelerates work. Used poorly, it erodes trust.

At inWorks LLC, we use AI intentionally to support internal communication workflows. This includes accelerating early drafts and standardizing content structure — always with human oversight. Final messages remain grounded in leadership voice, organizational context, and accountability.

This balance allows communication to move faster without feeling automated or impersonal. It also ensures quality, clarity, and alignment remain intact as volume increases.

Preparing Internal Communication for 2026

Without a deliberate operating model, internal communication will continue to demand more time, more coordination, and more leadership attention year over year.

With the right workflows in place, organizations can improve how messages are delivered and understood — without adding friction or cost. Communication becomes infrastructure rather than interruption.

That shift matters. When internal messaging is timely, consistent, and easy to navigate, employees stay aligned with priorities, decisions move faster, and leadership intent is clearer across teams.

What Comes Next

The most effective next step isn’t a platform change or a new tool. It’s clarity around how communication currently works.

Our goal is to help organizations communicate leadership priorities quickly, securely, and consistently — keeping teams informed, engaged, and aligned with the company’s mission and direction.

If internal communication feels heavier than it should, the issue is rarely the message itself. It’s the system behind it.

Ready to Simplify How Your Organization Communicates?

If internal communication is taking more time than it should, it’s worth a closer look. A short, focused working session can surface where effort is being absorbed and where small structural changes can create meaningful gains in productivity.

Clear systems create better work. Let’s build them together.

One simple yet powerful solution is to use separate Microsoft Edge profiles for each client. As someone new to the IT world, I just learned this pro tip the other day!

Here is why this approach is a game-changer.

Stronger Security and Compliance

Each Edge profile operates in its own sandbox, storing unique credentials, cookies, and session data. This isolation prevents accidental cross-contamination between client environments and helps IT teams comply with strict data protection regulations like GDPR or HIPAA. When client data is segregated, the risk of unauthorized access drops significantly.

Faster, More Organized Workflow

Switching between clients often means logging in and out of multiple accounts—a time-consuming process prone to errors. With separate profiles, IT professionals can move between client environments in seconds. Each profile remembers its own settings, reducing friction and boosting productivity.

Tailored Environments for Each Client

Every client has unique tools, bookmarks, and extensions. Separate profiles allow IT teams to customize each environment to match client needs. For example:

• Client A: Bookmarks for their CRM and cloud storage.

• Client B: Extensions for cybersecurity monitoring. This personalization ensures that the right resources are always at your fingertips.

Simplified Troubleshooting

When issues arise, replicating a client’s environment is critical. Dedicated profiles make this easy—IT teams can test configurations without affecting other clients. This isolation speeds up problem-solving and reduces the risk of introducing errors elsewhere.

Clear Separation for Auditing and Reporting

Audits often require proof of compliance and activity logs. Separate profiles provide a transparent way to show client-specific actions, making reporting simpler and more accurate. This is especially valuable for managed service providers (MSPs) who need to demonstrate accountability.

How to Set Up Separate Profiles in Microsoft Edge:

1. Open Microsoft Edge
   Launch the browser on your device.

2. Access Profile Settings
   Click your profile icon in the top-right corner of the browser window.

3. Add a New Profile

   • Select Add profile.

   • Click Add in the confirmation window.

4. Sign In with Client Credentials

   • Use the client’s Microsoft account or work account.

   • This ensures bookmarks, passwords, and settings sync across devices.

5. Customize the Profile

   • Add client-specific bookmarks.

   • Install necessary extensions.

   • Set a unique theme or color to visually distinguish profiles.

6. Switch Between Profiles Easily

   • Click the profile icon and select the desired client profile.

   • Each profile opens in its own window for clear separation.

Pro Tip: Use descriptive names like ‘Client ABC – Support’ and apply color coding for quick identification.

✅ Best Practices

• Enable Sync for consistency across devices.

• Apply Policy Controls via Microsoft Endpoint Manager or Group Policy.

• Regularly Review Profiles to remove unused ones and maintain security.

  ---

Moral of the Story: Separate Microsoft Edge profiles enhance security, streamline workflows, and make compliance easier. For teams managing multiple clients, this simple step can save hours of work and reduce risk.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Your new platforms and dashboards often take too much time, cost too much money, and are never integrated into your business work-flows. A waste.

Tools alone don’t make work smoother. They don’t fix fragmented processes. They don’t magically remove bottlenecks. They just… exist. Logins multiply, dashboards sit unused, files pile up. And teams end up working around the tools instead of with them.

Here’s the truth we’ve learned at inWorks: efficiency comes from systems, not software.

Smart tools are only as smart as the systems behind them.

Yes, platforms like Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Power Platform are incredible. They can automate workflows, centralize information, and reduce busywork. But without thoughtful implementation:

• SharePoint becomes a file dump instead of a living intranet.

• Automations sit idle because no one trusts them.

• Security tools get installed and forgotten.

• Teams find workarounds instead of using the system.

Complexity grows. Clarity shrinks.

Work smarter starts with understanding how work actually happens.

We’ve partnered with organizations of all sizes for over a decade. And the first thing we do isn’t sell a tool—it’s watch, listen, and map how work flows (or doesn’t).

We look at:

• How teams communicate

• Where bottlenecks slow things down

• Repetitive, manual, or error-prone tasks

• How sensitive information is handled

Only after understanding the real workflow do we design solutions that fit—rather than forcing tech into an ill-fitting mold.

Turning platforms into practical systems

“Work smarter” isn’t about doing more with less. It’s about removing friction.

This is where our services intersect:

• Tech Support & Help Desk: Fast, reliable help keeps teams moving.

• Cybersecurity & Password Management: Security that’s baked in, not bolted on.

• Infrastructure & Platform Consulting: Guidance for transitions, optimizations, and future-proofing.

• Smart Business Tools: Automations that move work forward without constant manual effort.

• Operations Support: From onboarding to accounting, streamlining how work happens behind the scenes.

When systems are done right, downtime drops. Security incidents are prevented. Efficiency becomes measurable.

The hidden cost of “good enough”

Most organizations settle for systems that are just okay—until they break. And when they break, it costs time, money, and morale. Growth suffers quietly but profoundly.

We’ve seen companies save hundreds of thousands of dollars simply by addressing inefficiencies before they become crises—preventing security breaches, reducing downtime, and untangling overcomplicated processes.

Work smarter is ongoing.

Tech changes. Teams evolve. Businesses grow. Systems must evolve too.

It’s not a one-time setup. It’s a mindset. Supported by the right tools, the right structure, and the right people.

If your systems feel clunky, disconnected, or overly manual, it’s time to rethink the way your tools and processes work together.

Let’s build systems that actually support the way you work—today and as you grow.

inPulse connects with team members across inWorks LLC as a way to stay engaged with and inspired by the voices that make up our company.

This week we caught up with Jocelyn, Marketing Specialist at inWorks LLC, to find out what’s going on in her department!

Spring into Sustainability: Goats Take the Lead

Jocelyn has taken on an exciting new project that is likely to unfold this spring at Longview Farm. The team is exploring a sustainable approach to land management by bringing in goats to handle weed control—an alternative to traditional methods.

To celebrate the goats’ stay, Jocelyn is planning a special event focused on sustainability. The vision includes interactive learning about eco-friendly land practices, activities for kids, and a showcase of local makers who specialize in goat milk-based products. The concept grew out of a recent land-management discussion, and Jocelyn’s enthusiasm is immense.

“I am hoping to call the event: Goatcella.”

Counting Wins, Not Worries

One of the ongoing challenges Jocelyn works to overcome is internalized self-doubt. Often the youngest person in the room, she admits that imposter syndrome can creep in—something she suspects many people, especially young women, experience.

To counter this, Jocelyn uses a “value tracker,” a tool introduced to her by Jessi Stead. She records contributions she makes to projects and the team in general, noting how they add value and what potential they hold for the future. This practice not only reassures her that she’s in the right place, but it has also sparked ideas for new initiatives that have been adopted by the marketing team.

Driven by Belief in the Mission

Jocelyn shared that her greatest motivation for day-to-day work comes from the pride she feels in what's happening at inWorks LLC and Longview Farm. That sense of purpose and belonging drives her commitment and passion for every project. She considers herself fortunate to have found a place where she believes in the mission.

“I feel so lucky to be at a place where I believe so deeply in all of our work, and it really helps me to show up on days where I don't always feel like it.”

Planting Seeds for Creative Connections

Just the other day, Jocelyn connected with the owner of a boutique in Media—a conversation that sparked exciting possibilities. The boutique owner, Lisa, is enthusiastic about the mission of startWorks and its offerings for independent artists, and the two are scheduling a call to explore collaboration.

Lisa has expressed interest in sharing the initiative with makers in her sphere, using startWorks herself, or handing off some of the freelance PR work she currently manages for her artists.

“Once upon a time, my dad told me a parable about money trees, that it takes them 6 years to germinate and when they do, they become super fruitful. I think it is a reassuring lesson in working at something that you believe in, even when it hasn't produced yet. I hope that this connection is the start of our money tree!”

Popcorn Tradition Returns

Jocelyn would like to revive a work tradition that hasn’t been practiced in some time: during the weekly lunch huddle, team members used to share “spotlights and roadblocks”—a chance to shoutout a coworker or highlight challenges..

She’s bringing it back and kicking things off with a spotlight on coworker Aaron Brown, whose efforts were crucial to the success of a client’s office winddown. Initially, Jocelyn worried about potential roadblocks while coordinating with buyers remotely, but Aaron ensured clear and consistent communication. He handled customers with tact and patience. Great job, Aaron!

Jocelyn Hittle has been an indispensable team member. We are very grateful to have her charisma, drive, and creativity at inWorks LLC. Tune in next time!

As our final quarter is winding down, we are talking challenges, advice, productivity, and thought process.

Today we are talking to Jeremy, our Accounting and Sustainability Specialist at inWorks LLC and The Longview Farm

Overcoming end-of-the-year Challenges

In combining his two jobs, Jeremy found that his end of the year tax prep was getting messy when throwing in his sustainability reporting at the same time. Jeremy found that creating a combined checklist for both of his responsibilities made his processes much easier and staying on track.

Jeremy’s Life Raft: QuickBooks

“I’ve been using Quickbooks to pull financial and sustainability data together. Honestly, it’s been a lifesaver for spotting trends and making reports look sharp.” -Jeremy

Jeremy’s Advice for New Team Members

Jeremy finds that most valuable thing a new team member can do is ask questions early and often. We often are dealing with complex business arrangements, industry jargon, and a ton of different job responsibilities.

“It’s the fastest way to learn why we do things the way we do—and it saves you from headaches later.” -Jeremy

Sustainability as a Financial Intelligence, Not Just Novelty

As the world and the economy is changing, Jeremy finds that more people are choosing sustainability as a financial choice, not just a box to check for their business or practice. This has changed the way that we are talking about the value of sustainability in long-term business strategy.

🌟 Thanks for tuning in to this week’s inPulse

Keep employees informed and empowered.
Keep the organization protected from risk.

Traditionally, compliance can be treated as a barrier to speed and clarity — a set of rules that slows down publishing, complicates coordination, and frustrates teams. But at intranetValet, we take a different approach.

Compliance Without Compromise is the philosophy and operational framework that guides how we build, manage, and optimize internal communication systems for organizations.

Compliance Shouldn’t Be a Bottleneck — And It Doesn’t Have to Be

Most compliance slowdowns happen not because teams don’t care about governance, but because systems aren’t designed to support it efficiently.

Our approach changes that.

Using SharePoint as the foundation, we build communication ecosystems where:

• Compliance checkpoints are integrated directly into the publishing process

• Governance aligns naturally with workflows

• Approval chains are clear, predictable, and streamlined

• Content stays secure without creating friction

• Legal and compliance teams get visibility without adding manual work

The goal is simple:
Every message meets policy — without slowing your team.

Case Study Snapshot: A 1,000+ Employee Enterprise Streamlines Governance

One of our enterprise clients, with over 1,000 employees across business units, struggled with inconsistent governance and slow publishing timelines.

Their communication team relied heavily on email, outdated SharePoint pages, and manual legal checks. Publishing even a simple policy update required:

• Multiple draft versions

• Email approvals across departments

• Redundant checks from compliance and legal

• Confusion around who owned which parts of the process

This resulted in delays that can stretch days — sometimes weeks.

How Our Framework Changed Their Workflow

By implementing the Compliance Without Compromise methodology within their existing SharePoint environment, we:

• Rebuilt their communication architecture with clear layers and processes

• Established automated versioning and content ownership pathways

• Created standardized policy templates

• Developed a publishing workflow that balanced speed and oversight
  

All without replacing tools.
All by using SharePoint more strategically.

Why Our Framework Works

Modern internal communications must be:

Fast. Consistent. Compliant. Secure. Scalable.

But most organizations struggle because their systems aren’t set up to support these demands — even though the tools (like SharePoint) can support them with the right structure.

The Compliance Without Compromise framework:

✔ Reduces organizational risk
✔ Eliminates bottlenecks
✔ Clarifies ownership and accountability
✔ Creates repeatable governance patterns
✔ Ensures every message meets policy without extra steps
✔ Builds trust at every level of the organization

Built on SharePoint. Designed for Enterprise. Trusted by Leaders.

Whether you’re managing risk, navigating compliance-heavy communication, or scaling your internal comms operations, our approach ensures that your teams move fast without sacrificing governance.

Ready to Strengthen Your Communications Without Slowing Them Down?

Your teams deserve a system that keeps them informed, protected, and empowered — all at once.
