Longmont, Colorado
Managed IT services in Longmont, built to use the fibre you already pay for.
Served from our Denver office at 720 S. Colorado Blvd, forty minutes up the Diagonal. Microsoft 365, cloud strategy, and managed IT for Longmont's manufacturing and aerospace businesses.
IT support Longmont
Longmont has something almost no other city its size has: NextLight, a municipally owned fibre network that consistently rates among the fastest broadband services in the United States. That is not a trivia item, it is a genuine strategic asset, and the striking thing is how many local businesses are paying for gigabit symmetric connectivity while running an infrastructure design that assumes bandwidth is scarce.
That design usually shows up as a server room. A cupboard with a file server, a backup appliance, and a UPS that beeps, maintained because moving away from it once seemed risky and expensive. In a town with this connectivity, most of the arguments for keeping it have quietly expired. The interesting question in Longmont is rarely can we move this to the cloud; it is which parts should move, in what order, and what genuinely has to stay.
The rest of the economy here is solidly industrial and technical. Longmont has a real manufacturing base, a strong aerospace and geospatial presence built up over decades, and a growing set of small technology firms that priced themselves out of Boulder and moved north. We cover all of it from our Denver office, about forty minutes away, and we say so rather than inventing a Main Street address.

What Longmont actually calls about
Manufacturing, aerospace, and small technical firms, with a lot of ageing infrastructure between them.
- 01
A server room that is now a liability
Hardware out of warranty, an operating system approaching end of support, and a backup nobody has tested a restore from. The honest answer is usually not to replace it like for like. We work out what actually has to stay on site, move the rest, and stop the business being one power event away from a very bad week.

Gigabit fibre feeding a 2014 design
You are paying for NextLight and running a VPN into a local file server so that people can open documents slowly from home. The connectivity is not the constraint any more; the architecture is. Redesigning around that is one of the highest return projects available to a Longmont business and almost nobody has done it.

Precision work with no document control
Aerospace and precision manufacturing customers ask for traceability, revision control, and evidence, and they increasingly ask about security too. Getting drawings, quality records, and change history into a structure that answers those questions is unglamorous and it is often what wins or keeps the contract.

Growth with no IT function to match
Companies that moved up from Boulder for space frequently arrive with a technology setup built for a much smaller team. Identity, device management, and offboarding are the three that break first. We put them right before headcount makes it painful, which is far cheaper than after.

Getting started in Longmont
Four steps. For a server room decision, step two is the one that matters.
- 1
A conversation, not a pitch
Thirty minutes on what is going wrong and what you have already tried. If we are not the right firm for it, we say so on that call.
- 2
A look at the environment
Tenant, licensing, what is running on site and why, and whether the backup would actually restore. Findings in plain language, ranked by risk and cost, yours to keep whether or not you hire us.
- 3
A plan with a number on it
Scope, sequence, timeline, and price, including what stays on premises and what does not. Fixed fee for defined projects, monthly for managed work.
- 4
Delivery you can watch
Work runs through our CloudGear365 client portal, so status and decisions are visible without chasing anyone.
Coverage
Our nearest office is in Denver, at 720 S. Colorado Blvd, about forty minutes south. Longmont is comfortably within routine onsite range and we use that: decommissioning a server room, migration cutovers, and the walkthroughs where you find the switch nobody documented all need someone physically present.
Everything else runs remotely, and in a city with this connectivity that works better than it does almost anywhere. Remote support to a business on symmetric gigabit fibre is a genuinely different experience from remote support to one on a congested consumer connection.
The same Denver team covers the surrounding Boulder and Weld County towns: Niwot, Erie, Frederick, Firestone, Mead, and Berthoud. If you are one of the many businesses with a Longmont facility and a Boulder or Denver office, that is one engagement with one senior lead rather than two providers blaming each other.
No. Our offices are in Chicago and Denver, and Longmont is served by the Denver team about forty minutes away. We would rather say that than publish a Main Street address we do not sit at. Onsite work here is routine and easy to schedule.
