IT Services in San Francisco

Managed IT, co-managed IT and cybersecurity for firms across the city, from a team that has been doing this since 2005.
The city

From the Bay Bridge to the Ballpark

We cross the Bay enough to have firm opinions about I-80 from five in the morning until eleven, and again from two in the afternoon until midnight. The Ferry Building is up there because it has spent more than a century getting people across the water on a schedule, and because a clock everybody can see is a promise you cannot quietly miss. The commitments we make to the businesses we look after work the same way.

The city brings together a variety of people and businesses, and we partner with a good number of them. Offices in the Financial District, studios in SoMa, laboratories toward Mission Bay, and plenty of firms whose office is now mostly a mailing address.

What we do here

Five ways firms in this City By the Bay work with us

The work does not change by zip code, so these are the same five arrangements we run everywhere. Each has its own page with the detail, the commitments and the pricing conversation.
Fully managed IT
We are your IT department. Monitoring around the clock, a help desk your people call by name, patching and backups that get checked rather than assumed, and a named adviser who brings you a plan for next year instead of waiting for something to break. The fifteen-minute help desk response is written into the agreement.
How managed IT works
Co-managed IT
You already have somebody, and they are stretched. We take the overnight coverage, the tooling and the projects nobody has time for, and leave them the work they are good at and the relationships they own. Common in this city, where a firm grows past its one internal person faster than it expects.
How co-managed works
Cybersecurity
Identity first, because that is how firms get breached now. Monitoring that reaches an analyst on shift overnight, recovery you have actually rehearsed, and the controls in the shape a cyber insurer asks about them. Four pages sit under this one, and the hub tells you which of them is your problem.
The security hub
Cloud
Leaving the server room, or deciding not to. We have moved nine servers down to one and saved a firm thirty thousand a year, and we have also moved software back off the cloud when it was costing nine hundred a month to run slower. Which of those you need is a question of arithmetic, not fashion.
Cloud, honestly assessed
The JOUST assessment, if you are not ready to move
A thousand dollars, flat, for a written examination of the whole operation and a list of what to fix in what order. You keep the report whatever you decide afterward, and the fee comes off your account if you partner with us inside twelve months. Most firms in this city already have a provider. This is how you find out whether they are doing a good job without having to fire anybody to know.
