Full-service IT support for Colorado Springs
As a family-run, locally-owned Managed Service Provider, we take the time to understand your industry, goals, obstacles, and core values. Our job isn’t just to manage your technology. We want to help you build a roadmap for your company’s future.
Our mission
We exist to help small to medium businesses THRIVE through effective planning and the use of cutting edge technology.
Our core values
Trust
This is what we are building every day with our team and with our clients. You build trust with others each time to choose integrity over image, truth over comfort, and honor over personal gain. All our values are designed to build trust. Trust is the true currency of the world.
Humility
No person is more important than the other. We are willing to be vulnerable and put others first. We each recognize that our words and actions affect others, whether positively or negatively, and we take ownership of this.
Honesty
We are not afraid of controversy and are willing to engage in constructive, passionate debate. What we say is necessary, kind, and true.
Grit
We will passionately do the right thing regardless of external factors. We understand that our true character is revealed through perseverance. And we will hold to our values and integrity with a long-term perspective in mind.
Excellence
The thought of being mediocre makes us sick. A phrase we use is, “You got up, you got showered, you got here—might as well be awesome!”
Our incredible team
We’re not in the tech business, we’re in the people business. And that attitude starts in our own office.
