GMA Member Exclusive: Start Now. Pay Starting in 2027.
Graphic Media Alliance is excited to share a new, exclusive opportunity for GMA members from our partners at NetGain Technologies.
If your organization has been considering upgrading its IT support, strengthening cybersecurity, or exploring how AI can be implemented effectively and securely, now may be the time to make the move.
Through newly available funding, NetGain Technologies can provide participating GMA members with onboarding and full contracted services at no cost through December 31, 2026. Standard service billing begins with the January 2027 service period.
Depending on the scope selected, services can include:
- 24/7 Managed IT support
- Cybersecurity services, including Security Orchestration, Automation & Response/SOC services
- AI rollout and enablement assistance
- vCSO cybersecurity leadership and support
- Onboarding, implementation, and full-service delivery
And this isn't a pilot program. NetGain is providing real engineers, real onboarding, and the same full service level clients receive when standard billing begins. Promotional months will appear on monthly invoices as a 100% credit, with no back-billing for those free months later. Third-party software and licensing costs, such as Microsoft and Azure, are not included in the promotion.
The earlier you start, the greater the opportunity. A member signing in September can receive four months of promotional service through the end of December while keeping their 2026 service budget intact.
