Technology Support for Bay Area Businesses

IT support becomes important for any business, even the techie ones, when the business outgrows the capacity of the savviest staff to troubleshoot problems as they arise.

You’ve been there. Steve and Mike are your gunslinger developers who brought your company to the cusp of success. Now, as your site’s finally getting traction, maybe you’ve even scored an early round of funding.

However, as more people come on board, maybe a marketing team and an executive assistant or two, not everyone is capable of solving their own IT issues.

This is where we can help.

Alternately, you might be a non-techie business just looking to take advantage of the latest and greatest applications to improve your business. You might even have a few technology challenges that are outside of the realm of your regular IT guy.

We can help you, too.

If you’re a startup in the midst of growth or a small-to-mid-sized business looking at building out your technical infrastructure, we can help you develop a flexible IT strategy that will match your business goals.

Or, we can just provide you with contracted or hourly technology support for your business, ensuring your staff is always working at maximum capacity.

Whatever the case, you shouldn’t have to worry about your bookkeeper begging and begging to get access once again to Quickbooks. You’ve got bigger fish to fry, after all.

Here are the main IT services we’re best known for:

  • Reliable technology support for Bay Area businesses
  • Technology support for Mac or PC
  • Network and server administration
  • Infrastructure planning and development
  • IT project management, including migrations
  • Cloud computing solutions
  • WordPress website development and SEO copywriting services

If you’re a business in the San Francisco Bay Area, we can provide on-site or remote technology support on an hourly or monthly basis. If you’re outside the local San Francisco region, we can assist you by phone, chat, email, or remote log-in. Ask how to save money with a monthly plan!

Contact us today to set up a free consultation and find out what we can do for your business.
