San Francisco IT Outsourcing

🤝 IT Outsourcing San Francisco

IT Outsourcing in San Francisco, Your IT Department Handled

Hiring a full IT team in San Francisco is slow and expensive, and relying on one person leaves you exposed every time they’re out. Outsource the whole function to us instead: help desk, onsite engineers, security and strategy, from a team with an office on Maiden Lane and engineers who live across the Bay.

  • Help desk, onsite, security and strategy under one contract
  • Engineers onsite within the hour anywhere in the Bay Area
  • 24/7 security monitoring through Advanced Shield
  • Handover from your current setup in about 30 days
  • You keep admin rights and full documentation

Outsourcing, Bay Area Style

The Point Where SF Firms Hand IT Off

Most companies we talk to in San Francisco reached the same point the same way: one generalist or a founder handling IT, a headcount that crossed twenty or thirty, and a list of things nobody owns, from offboarding to backups to the security questionnaire a new enterprise customer just sent over.

Building an internal team to cover all of that means several hires in one of the most expensive labor markets in the country, and it still leaves gaps on nights and vacations. Outsourcing gives you the whole department on day one, with a local office in Union Square, engineers who live from San Francisco to San Jose, and Bay Area clients we have supported for more than twenty years.

  • Help desk staffed 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Pacific, 24/7 for emergencies
  • Engineers onsite within one hour anywhere in the Bay Area
  • Weekly patching on a published schedule
  • Breach notification within 24 hours, not 72

What Outsourcing Covers

Everything an IT Department Does, Under One Contract

We take over the whole function, not a slice of it. One flat monthly rate, one team accountable for all of it.

Help Desk for Every User
Password resets, laptops, email, printers and the rest, answered fast by people who know your setup and your staff by name.
Onsite Engineers
Hands-on work from our Maiden Lane office and from engineers who live around the Bay, for the problems that can’t be fixed remotely.
Advanced Shield Security
Our Advanced Shield service covers endpoint protection, 24/7 managed detection and response, email and DNS filtering, awareness training and backup.
Cloud, Microsoft 365 & Identity
Your Microsoft 365 or Google tenant, single sign-on, Azure and cloud apps set up properly and kept that way.
Devices & People Changes
New-hire builds, offboarding the same day someone leaves, and laptops tracked from purchase to retirement.
IT Strategy & Budget
A virtual CIO who plans upgrades, manages your vendors and gives leadership a budget with no surprises.
The Advanced Networks Difference

Why SF Companies Outsource to Us

What makes handing over IT to us different from hiring another remote help desk.

01
A Union Square Office
Our San Francisco office is on Maiden Lane, so in-person help and planning meetings are close to home.
02
Engineers Around the Bay
Our technicians live from the city down to San Jose, so we can have an engineer onsite within the hour anywhere in the Bay Area, from the Peninsula to the East Bay.
03
Twenty Years in the Region
We have supported Bay Area clients for more than two decades, long before opening the San Francisco office.
04
One Predictable Rate
A flat monthly price per user that covers support, onsite visits, security and strategy, without hourly billing.
05
Security Included
Advanced Shield is part of the engagement, not an upsell bolted on after the first incident.
06
A Clean Handover
We document everything we take over and everything we change, so you’re never locked in by missing knowledge.
Switching Over

How the Handover Runs

Moving IT to us takes about a month and is planned so your people barely notice.

01
Discovery
We review your users, devices, cloud tenant, network and vendors, and list the risks we find on day one.
02
Credentials & Documentation
Admin access, licenses and vendor contacts gathered from your current setup and documented where your leadership can see them.
03
Cutover
Monitoring and Advanced Shield are deployed and support moves to our desk on an agreed date, with your staff told exactly how to reach us.
04
Report at Day 30
A one-month report showing what we found, what we fixed and what comes next.
Is It Time?

When Outsourcing Makes Sense

These are the moments San Francisco companies usually call us.

Past Twenty People
Headcount has outgrown the founder or office manager who has been handling IT on the side.
Losing Your IT Person
Your one IT employee is leaving, and the knowledge in their head needs to land somewhere safe.
A Second Bay Area Site
A new office in Oakland, on the Peninsula or in the South Bay needs the same standard as the first.
A Security Questionnaire
An investor, insurer or enterprise customer wants answers about your controls, and nobody owns them.

Straight Answers

San Francisco IT Outsourcing Questions

What Bay Area companies ask before they hand IT over.

How long does it take to switch IT over to you?
About 30 days for most companies: discovery, documentation, deploying our monitoring and Advanced Shield, then moving support to our desk on an agreed date.
Do we lose control of our systems?
No. You keep administrator rights to your own systems, and everything we manage is documented where your leadership can see it.
Is there a minimum company size?
We work with organizations of 20 users and up.
How fast do you respond?
Our average first response is about 8 minutes. That’s an average, not a contractual guarantee. When something can’t be fixed remotely, we commit to an engineer onsite within one hour anywhere in the Bay Area.
Can you manage our existing vendors?
Yes. Internet providers, phone systems, software vendors and printer leases are part of what we take over, so you have one number to call.
We have an IT person already. Is outsourcing still right?
If you want to keep them in charge and add depth behind them, our co-managed IT in San Francisco is usually the better fit.
