IT Services in Tucson and Beyond
This site is about you, not us. We ditched the tech-speak and fancy graphics to focus on what we can do for you, your team and your business’ needs.
What Keeps you up at Night?We Solve for That!
We might not be able to help with your teenager’s late-night curfew breaches, your neighbor’s all-night parties, the political climate, or fears of an economic downturn…so, what do we solve for? We help with what matters in your business.
At our core, we build and maintain IT solutions tailored to meet and solve your business needs. We are an IT firm that delivers Manages Services and can get nerdy with the best of them. However, think of us as a Business Consulting Firm with a specialization in IT. While we can’t solve every problem that keeps you up at night, we understand business, proces, systems, people, finance and more and we work alongside you to create solutions that address your biggest concerns.
Based on feedback from our current clients, here are some of the questions we’ve helped them address:
-
Who takes care of my day-to-day IT needs?
We call this the "Core Utility of IT"...it keeps the lights on. When you can't print, need a new computer setup, need help with an error message and more, we are there for you. But, we don't stop there. We are constnatnly working in the background, proactively, to find problems before they become problems, perform maintenance to keep your systems optimized and monitor for potential security issues.
If you already have an internal IT team but need help augmenting them in various areas, we can help there with our CoManaged IT offering.
-
I don’t love my IT but I’m afraid to make changes.
We understand that change can be daunting. That’s why we offer a thorough assessment of your current IT systems and utilization. If your system is great, we’ll let you know. If it needs improvement, we’ll tell you that too. Regardless of our findings, we’ll educate you on what we see, why it matters, and how you can make informed decisions without having to understand all the technical details.
-
Am I spending too much (or too little) on IT?
We work with you to understand your business needs, risk profile, and growth plans. From there, we develop a strategic plan that aligns your IT with your business objectives, attaching value and cost metrics to that plan. This way, we all know what we’re spending money on, why we’re doing it, and how different choices (like faster growth or varying risk tolerance) will impact your business and costs.
-
Will my IT be able to keep up with my business plans?
Without a strategic plan, no. However, with a strategic plan, your IT should not only keep up with but also drive your business plans. Every decision we make regarding your IT systems is based on a deep understanding of and alignment with your business’ purpose and goals. We meet with you quarterly to reassess this alignment and make adjustments.
-
Am I going to get hacked?
The reality is, hackers are constantly attempting to breach systems, and the odds are significant that at some point, you will get hacked. The real question is whether you’ll know when it happens and how quickly you can shut it down. If a hacker gets in but doesn’t have enough time to cause “detonate”, you avoid a breach, which is the primary concern. We work with our clients to assess their risk tolerance and exposures, then build IT systems that match their business needs. From simple solutions to DoD-level compliance, we offer a range of options to fit various needs, budgets, and risk tolerances.
-
Would I be able to recover if my IT systems crashed?
For many, your IT is a black box where you spend money and hope things are setup right. Often, you only figure out if that hope is well placed when something goes wrong and your IT person or team needs to get you back up and running. This uncertainty is very concerning, especially when your business hangs in the balance.
We work with our clients to educate them on options available and help them balance costs vs benefits so they can make an educated decision about how much security, redundancy and recoverability is right for them. From there, we implement and test the solutions to make sure that they didn't just look good on paper but also can deliver in the real world.
-
How do I build better efficiency in my business?
Improving efficiency is a journey, and we’re here to walk it with you. On the simpler side, we streamline and optimize your IT systems to ensure optimal uptime and efficiency. We also provide training for your staff to enhance their proficiency using your systems. On a more complex level, we collaborate with you to explore current processes and identify ways, both technical and non-technical, to optimize them further.
-
How do I deal with compliance and regulations without tanking my business?
We get it—compliance and regulatory requirements can seem complex, confusing and burdensome. We’ve worked with various frameworks and have found that, with skilled engineering and business acumen, we can navigate most requirements in ways that optimize and enhance rather than hinder business operations. While there are costs associated with compliance, we find that many requirements offer flexibility, allowing us to implement solutions that best fit your business needs. This is where we make IT serve your business, not the other way around.
Let’s work together to Do IT Different and drive your success!

Struggling with Compliance?
Whether it is CMMC, HIPAA, PCI, SOC, SOX, ISO or beyond, for many, Compliance is a 4 letter word, but it doesn’t have to be. The common trap people fall in is that they target “getting compliant” but end up with a disorganized mess that bogs their business down.
We pursue what we call “sensible compliance” where we focus on improving business processes and systems with an objective that the end outcome is compliance. This keeps the business in the driver’s seat and helps to ensure that we achieve compliance while also building systems that drive your business forward.

Our Why
We believe that a business’s greatest asset is its people. When people are provided with an inspirational culture and powerful tools, the stage is set for the business to maximize its potential. We believe that technology is a tool that empowers this transformation.
We believe that the IT industry has failed to serve businesses due to a fundamental disconnect between how IT has been delivered and a businesses’ needs. Either IT has been treated as a commodity or the answer to every problem…either way, it is improperly positioned to fulfill its purpose.
We Do IT Different by working with our clients to build technical solutions, where they make sense, that empower people to maximize a businesses’ potential.
Our Values
We believe that something incredible happens when you have personal and professional integrity, while also focusing on having a positive impact. When you do this, things begin to grow!
-
Integrity
Integrity has two distinct, but related facets. The first relates to a person’s character, ensuring that there is consistency between what they say and what they do. The second focuses on how objects and systems properly do what they are designed to do and interoperate with other systems in a cohesive fashion so the entire system operates as a unified whole.
-
Impact
Integrity is a nice concept, but until it is put into action, it sits on the shelf, collecting dust and cannot have impact. We believe that we are designed to do more than have great ideas and philosophies. We are designed to put them into action with consistency and integrity so that we can have a positive impact on those that we have the honor of working with and serving. As such, all of our work filters through an evaluation of its impact…if it won’t have a positive impact, we set it aside.
-
Growth
We see growth as the natural result of doing the right things for the right people for the right reasons. When we do impactful things, with integrity, growth is a natural result.
