WHY US
Concierge CIO
Sound Business Model
The difference we make is in the productivity you gain. Your IT infrastructure is the backbone of your organization. It empowers people and runs the apps that run your business. It delivers customer and workplace experiences that define who you are. It must evolve rapidly. Our role at your side is to build and manage this infrastructure, but first and foremost, it is to help you unlock business value, in your leadership circle and in your teams, with knowledge, prompt hands-on support, and enabling training.

Zero Trust | EDR/MDR | AVD/VAD
Security at the Edge
In today’s business landscape, remote work, mobile technology, cloud computing, and shadow IT have rendered the traditional castle-and-moat approach to cybersecurity ineffective. The network perimeter is no longer a reliable security boundary, and the focus has shifted to securing endpoints and applications. Our technology stack is designed to natively support this contemporary context, providing robust security measures that protect your organization’s data and assets from all known types of cyber threats.

Microsoft 365 | Google Workspace...
Higher Cloud Productivity
Individuals, departments, and organizations have different needs, preferences, and expectations. Managers who value simplicity, flexibility, and teamwork may prefer Google Workspace. Others, who value compatibility, familiarity, and advanced functionalities like Microsoft 365. Some add on Proton because they need the security and privacy it offers, or Zoho for its simple business applications. With us, you can mix and match, and use multiple cloud productivity suites across the organization with a single domain name. [More]
Software-defined infrastructure
On Premises IT simplified
There is a proper way to host resources on premises (when the cloud isn’t cost-effective or suitable): through the use of a Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) virtualization platform. This resilient software-based system combines all the elements of a data center (storage, compute, networking, backups, and management) in a cluster of three or more physical servers. HCI disentangles hardware, software and data, facilitating usage, maintenance and security. New virtual desktops, applications, or file shares can be deployed in hours (within or outside of your firewall perimeter). [More]
Anti-fragility | Systematic Redundancy
Business Continuity
We protect our clients' IT infrastructure from downtime and catastrophes through systematic redundancy along anti-fragility principles. Whatever can fail has its failover mechanism: computers (with Azure Virtual Desktop clones readily available), cloud storage (with SharePoint/Google Drive sync.), physical and virtual servers (on-prem, off site, or in the cloud), access to the Internet, backups, firewalls, switches, file shares, applications, VPN, network, and Office Suites. Even we, in our IT management role, are always two to support you. [More]
Third party risk management
Infrastructure Sovereignty
We shield our clients from the vendor lock-in and security risks inherent to using proprietary or niche solutions (through the use of FOSS). Access to your data and infrastructure by third party entities is limited to service providers you trust (e.g.: LOBs, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace...). The work we invest in building your cloud infrastructure remains yours after we leave (it is not tied to our infrastructure). We support PCs, Macs, Linux, and Chrome OS devices. Furthermore, The tools we use to manage and monitor your computers and M365 are self-hosted in single-tenant servers (to insulate you from supply chain and other "ka...ya" type ransomware attacks.) [More]
Open Source Technology
FOSS = Resilience
We achieve dramatic efficiency gains and cost savings through the use of industry-standard, battle-tested, and scalable open-source software. Along with "Big Tech", we leverage open source at the infrastructure, middleware, and application layers for both our clients' and our own needs (virtualization, networking, cybersecurity, maintenance, backups, monitoring...) Open-source software is a cornerstone of anti-fragile IT. [More]
Predictable Pricing
For the sake of simplicity, accuracy, and transparency, we price our services on a per-user and/or per-device basis. To each device corresponds a service.
The "devices" are personal computers and servers - physical or virtual - and the software they run, as well as networking equipment. Mobile phones are supported alongside PC's. Prices decrease with quantity. The cost of your LOBs, cloud productivity suites, and other cloud services is not included.
IT service consumption varies significantly across organizations. Our plans are all inclusive. Use discount codes to adjust our feature sets to your needs and budget. Read and follow our terms to avoid overages and determine what constitute managed services (plans) and project services.
Check our service catalog for more details and options. Use our payment portal to manage your "subscriptions", and our onboarding page to manage your users.
