SNS Technology Partnerships & Platform Clients: SoFlo Consulting, Windmill Lakes, VelaTeQ & More

Simple Network Solutions is proud to announce a strategic partnership with SoFlo Consulting, a South Florida compliance firm specializing in AML/BSA compliance programs for regulated businesses. The partnership takes effect immediately — and it goes deeper than a referral arrangement. SNS served as the technology development partner behind the platform that powers SoFlo Consulting's compliance delivery at sofloconsulting.net.

SNS Built the Platform Behind SoFlo Consulting

SoFlo Consulting's compliance platform — the subscriber portal, compliance program delivery system, and learning management infrastructure at sofloconsulting.net — was designed and developed by the Simple Network Solutions team. The platform enables SoFlo Consulting to deliver AML/BSA compliance programs to regulated businesses at scale: subscribers access their compliance program documentation, training modules, risk assessment tools, and ongoing program updates through a single organized portal rather than through email attachments and manual check-ins.

What the Platform Does

The compliance platform SNS developed for SoFlo Consulting covers the full lifecycle of an AML/BSA compliance program for regulated subscribers:

• Subscriber portal: A secure, organized dashboard where regulated businesses access their compliance program materials, policy documents, and program updates
• Compliance program delivery: Policies, procedures, and risk assessment frameworks delivered and maintained through the platform — updated automatically when regulatory requirements change
• Learning management system (LMS): Compliance training modules for staff, with completion tracking and documentation formatted for examiner review
• Annual subscription model: Subscribers receive ongoing program maintenance, not a one-time document package — the platform keeps their compliance program current year after year
• Simplified onboarding: New subscribers can get their AML/BSA compliance program in place quickly, without months of consulting engagements or large upfront costs

Why This Partnership Makes Sense for Regulated Businesses in South Florida

Regulated businesses — financial institutions, money service businesses, mortgage companies, and others subject to AML/BSA requirements — face a dual challenge that most vendors address only halfway. They need secure, compliant IT infrastructure to protect sensitive financial data and meet regulatory expectations around data security. And they need a properly structured AML/BSA compliance program to satisfy FinCEN, federal examiners, and state regulators. Most IT providers do not touch compliance programs. Most compliance firms do not touch IT infrastructure. The result is a gap that regulated South Florida businesses are left to bridge on their own.

The SNS and SoFlo Consulting partnership is designed to close that gap directly. By combining SNS's expertise in managed IT, network security, and cybersecurity with SoFlo Consulting's AML/BSA compliance program delivery — now powered by a platform SNS built — regulated businesses in South Florida have access to both sides of the equation from two specialized local firms working in coordination.

What the Partnership Delivers

Through the SNS and SoFlo Consulting partnership, regulated businesses gain access to a coordinated service model covering both technology infrastructure and compliance program requirements:

• Managed IT and cybersecurity (SNS): Proactive monitoring, helpdesk support, network security, endpoint protection, cloud services, and data backup for regulated businesses in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach
• AML/BSA compliance programs (SoFlo Consulting): Simplified, done-right compliance program delivery through the sofloconsulting.net platform — policies, procedures, risk assessments, training, and ongoing program management
• Coordinated IT security and compliance reviews: A joint assessment identifying where your IT infrastructure and compliance program intersect — and where gaps in either create regulatory or operational risk
• Regulatory-ready documentation: IT security policies and controls documented in formats that satisfy examiner expectations, developed in coordination with your compliance program
• Ongoing program maintenance: Both firms provide ongoing service — SNS maintains your IT infrastructure, SoFlo Consulting maintains your compliance program — so neither falls behind regulatory requirements

About SoFlo Consulting

SoFlo Consulting is a South Florida compliance firm focused on AML/BSA compliance for regulated businesses. Their approach — delivered through the platform at sofloconsulting.net — is built around making compliance programs simplified, complete, and done right. They serve financial institutions, money service businesses, mortgage companies, and other regulated entities across South Florida that need a fully compliant AML/BSA program without building a full in-house compliance department. Their annual subscription model means subscribers always have a current, maintained compliance program — not a document that goes stale.

A Note from Carlos Rivera, Co-Founder of Simple Network Solutions

"We have been involved with SoFlo Consulting from the beginning — we built the platform that powers their compliance delivery. So this partnership is a natural extension of a relationship that already exists. Regulated businesses in South Florida have always been a significant part of our client base. We have seen firsthand how often the IT security side and the compliance program side operate in silos, even though examiners increasingly look at both together. Now our clients have a direct path to a compliance program that is built alongside their IT infrastructure, not bolted on after the fact."

Who Benefits Most From This Partnership

The SNS and SoFlo Consulting partnership is specifically designed for regulated businesses in South Florida that need both IT infrastructure and compliance program support:

• Money service businesses (MSBs): Check cashers, currency exchangers, money transmitters, and prepaid card providers subject to FinCEN registration and AML/BSA program requirements
• Community banks and credit unions: Smaller institutions that need examination-ready compliance programs without the overhead of a large in-house compliance team
• Mortgage companies and lenders: Non-bank financial institutions subject to the FTC Safeguards Rule and state-level AML requirements
• Investment advisors and broker-dealers: Firms subject to SEC and FINRA AML program requirements that also need compliant IT infrastructure for data security
• Any South Florida regulated business that has received examiner feedback on either IT security controls or AML/BSA program gaps — and needs both addressed simultaneously

Platform Client Spotlight: Windmill Lakes at Pembroke Pines

One of the clearest demonstrations of what SNS builds for community associations is Windmill Lakes at Pembroke Pines — a master HOA community in Broward County with 5 phases, 264 homes, and a history going back to 1989. SNS designed and built the full community management platform at windmilllakesfl.com, which serves as the digital infrastructure for the entire association.

What the Windmill Lakes Platform Includes

The Windmill Lakes community platform is a full-featured HOA management system built specifically for a multi-phase master association — a more complex structure than a single-community HOA. The platform handles:

• Phase-specific resident portal: Residents identify their phase (Windmill Lakes I through V) and access community information, documents, and updates relevant to their specific section of the community
• Community news and announcements: Board-published updates, meeting notices, landscaping schedules, pool opening dates, and parking guideline changes — all organized and searchable
• Document library: Governing documents, bylaws, CC&Rs, meeting minutes, and community policies accessible to all residents without requiring a phone call to management
• Board information and governance: Board member directory, contact information, and governance structure — transparent and always current
• Community event calendar: HOA meetings, community cleanup days, architectural review deadlines, and seasonal events organized in one place
• Closing and lender request workflow: A structured submission system for title companies and lenders requesting HOA documents and estoppel letters — a critical function for a community with active real estate transactions
• Resident login and secure access: Phase-specific authentication so residents access the right information for their unit

The Windmill Lakes platform is a live example of what SNS delivers for HOA and condo associations across South Florida — not a generic software subscription, but a purpose-built community platform maintained by a local team. Visit windmilllakesfl.com to see it in action.

A Long-Standing Partnership: VelaTeQ (Since 2017)

Beyond the SoFlo Consulting relationship, Simple Network Solutions has maintained a deep working partnership with VelaTeQ — a South Florida managed IT and cybersecurity firm serving Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and Key Largo — since 2017. Over nearly a decade, SNS and VelaTeQ have collaborated on major technology projects across the region, combining our respective strengths to deliver outcomes that neither firm could achieve alone.

About VelaTeQ

VelaTeQ, LLC is a South Florida IT company specializing in Managed IT Services, 24/7 Network Monitoring, Cybersecurity, Endpoint Security, Help Desk and Technical Support, Data Backup and Disaster Recovery, and IT Consulting and Planning.

What the SNS–VelaTeQ Collaboration Delivers

The SNS and VelaTeQ working relationship is built around large, complex projects where a single firm's capacity or geographic reach would be a limiting factor. Together, the two firms bring:

• Expanded geographic coverage: SNS's Miami-Dade depth combined with VelaTeQ's reach across Broward, Palm Beach, and the Keys — enabling seamless multi-site deployments across all of South Florida
• Larger project capacity: Enterprise-scale network infrastructure, multi-location managed IT rollouts, and complex cybersecurity engagements that benefit from two experienced local teams working in coordination
• Complementary specializations: Both firms bring deep expertise in managed IT and cybersecurity, with each contributing specialized capabilities developed independently over years of South Florida market experience
• Shared standards and accountability: Nearly a decade of collaboration means both teams operate with aligned processes, documentation standards, and client communication expectations — no learning curve on joint projects
• Redundancy and continuity: For clients with critical uptime requirements, having two established South Florida IT firms coordinating on their infrastructure provides meaningful operational resilience
