IT Services for Cities and Municipalities
City hall can't close because the computers are down. We look after the technology for small cities and towns across the Florida Panhandle, so staff can serve residents without worrying about IT.
What we take care of
Everything city hall runs on
Most small cities don't have an IT person on staff. The work falls to whoever knows the most about computers, on top of their real job. Meanwhile the city holds residents' records, takes payments and has to keep running through storm season. We take that whole job off your desk. For one predictable monthly cost, our local team runs the help desk, protects your systems from hackers, backs up your records and plans ahead, and we explain everything in plain English to staff and council alike.
- Help desk for every department Clerks, finance, utilities, police, fire and public works can all call us, day or night.
- Police and fire departments We support police and fire departments, and all of our technicians are CJIS certified to work on systems that hold criminal justice information.
- Protection from hackers Security software, two-step login and staff training, because cities are a favorite target for ransomware.
- Backups that are tested Records copied off-site every day, with practice restores so we know they come back.
- Email and file sharing Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace set up so departments can share files safely.
- Network and Wi-Fi City hall, police and fire stations and other buildings connected and watched around the clock.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with small cities that have no IT staff?
Yes, that's exactly who we help most. We act as the city's IT department, handling everyday problems, security, backups and planning for one predictable monthly cost. The Cities of Springfield and Parker are both clients.
How is municipal IT support priced?
You pay a flat monthly fee based on how many people and computers we look after, with no hourly bills. That makes it easy to put in the annual budget. We start with a free look at your setup and recommend only what your city needs.
Can you help with public records and audits?
We keep clear records of the work we do and how your systems are set up, and we make sure email and files are kept and backed up so they can be found when a records request or audit comes in.
What happens to city systems during a hurricane?
We write a plan with you before the season starts. Your records are backed up outside the Panhandle, we shut equipment down safely if needed, and staff know how to keep working from wherever they are until city hall reopens.
Are your technicians CJIS certified?
Yes, every one of them. CJIS is the FBI's security policy for criminal justice information, the records police departments handle. Because all of our technicians are CJIS certified, any of them can work on police and public safety systems, not just one specialist.
Do you work with police and fire departments?
Yes. We support police and fire departments along with every other city department: computers, phones, networks, email and backups. We follow CJIS rules on police systems and work alongside the state and vendor systems first responders rely on.
How do we switch from our current setup?
We handle it. We document what you have, collect the passwords and paperwork, and move everything over without interrupting city services.
