We Built Simple IT Because Technology Consultancies Deserved Better Than Break-Fix IT.
Most IT companies either show up when things break or sell you enterprise complexity you don't need. We built something different — a team that thinks like a business partner, not a vendor.

President, Simple IT
Built for Firms That Are Growing
Simple IT started with a pattern we kept seeing: a 40-person consultancy with smart people, real clients, and nobody who actually owns IT. Someone is doing it on the side — usually the person who was already too busy. The CEO knows it's a risk but can't justify a full-time hire.
We built a company around solving that specific problem — giving growing consultancies an IT partner that understands what a missed onboarding step, an unanswered security questionnaire, or a lingering access issue actually costs.
At a technology consultancy, IT failures don't stay in IT. A new hire without the right access can't contribute. A former employee with lingering credentials creates risk. A client security review can expose that no one owns a clear answer. These aren't IT problems — they're business problems that happen to start in IT.
The firms we work best with eventually stop thinking about IT altogether. That's what we're building toward.
What You Should Expect From Us
Adaptable
Every firm is different. You won't get a cookie-cutter plan — you'll get an approach built around how your team actually works, what you already have, and where you're going.
Methodical
Good IT doesn't happen by accident. We document everything, follow proven processes, and work systematically — so when something does go wrong, we know exactly where to look and how fast to fix it. No surprises for you, no guesswork for us.
Empathetic
We know IT problems rarely happen at a convenient time. When something breaks, there's a person on the other end of that ticket with a deadline and a client depending on them. We treat every issue with that in mind — not just as a technical problem to close.
How We Work
Every client engagement follows the same four-stage process — designed to get IT off your plate quickly and keep it there as your firm grows.
L
LEARN
We start by understanding your business — how your team works, what tools you rely on, where IT has created friction, and where you're headed. No assumptions, no cookie-cutter assessments.
I
INTEGRATE
We get to work. Devices, security, access management, and support are brought under a single managed system — without disrupting your team or your client delivery.
F
FORTIFY
We close the gaps. Security posture, compliance readiness, backup and recovery, and identity management are hardened to match the risk profile of a growing consultancy.
T
TRANSFORM
IT becomes a dependable capability that grows with your firm — no new internal hires, no added complexity, just IT that runs quietly in the background while your team focuses on clients.
Ready to hand off IT?
If what you just read resonates, that's a good sign. The businesses we work best with are the ones where IT has been a growing frustration — and the leadership team is ready to hand it off to people who take it seriously. That's exactly what a 30-minute call with Thomas is for.
