Your Engineers Can Do IT. They Just Shouldn’t.

Software companies have the strangest IT gap: world-class engineers running production infrastructure flawlessly while corporate IT — laptops, identity, email, compliance — is handled “whenever.” It works until the seed-stage shortcuts meet a 40-hire year, a SOC 2 demand from your biggest prospect, or an offboarded contractor who still has repo access. Advanced Networks runs corporate IT for software and SaaS companies so the people building your product never have to stop and be the help desk.

Headquartered in Los Angeles with offices in Orange County and San Francisco, we support product companies across Southern California and the Bay Area — from Santa Monica and Culver City startups to Irvine SaaS teams and San Francisco product companies — including fully distributed teams whose only office is a cap table.

  • Identity-first: SSO and SCIM across your whole toolchain
  • Autopilot onboarding tuned to hiring sprints
  • A security posture that survives enterprise procurement
  • Corporate Azure and M365 governed without touching prod

What We Deliver

Corporate IT, Product-Company Grade

Six things we run so your team ships instead.

⚡
Hiring-speed onboarding
Laptops drop-shipped and self-provisioning, accounts and app access granted by role — a hire in Denver is productive before lunch, without an IT road trip.
🪪
Identity & SSO everywhere
Entra ID as the single front door — SSO and automated provisioning across GitHub, Slack, AWS, and the long tail, so offboarding is one switch, not a scavenger hunt.
🛡️
Security that closes deals
Endpoint protection, MFA, and monitored detection tuned for startups — the controls enterprise security questionnaires expect, answered with evidence. Backed by our cybersecurity services.
📋
SOC 2 & compliance readiness
Controls, policies, and evidence collection for SOC 2 and customer audits — built once, maintained continuously, reused every deal.
☁️
Microsoft 365 & Azure management
Corporate tenant and cloud spend governed — cleanly separated from production, licensing right-sized as headcount moves. Anchored by Microsoft 365 managed services.
🌎
Remote workforce operations
Device logistics, support across time zones, and secure access from anywhere for a team that’s everywhere — office optional.
The Patterns

Startup IT Debt, Catalogued

Six patterns from product companies we’ve cleaned up.

01
The founder is the help desk
A VP of Engineering resetting passwords between board prep.
02
SSO… mostly
Single sign-on everywhere except the three apps holding customer data.
03
Laptops in the wild
Unencrypted, unmanaged machines in nine states, one recovery key.
04
The SOC 2 fire drill
A seven-figure deal stalled on a questionnaire nobody can answer.
05
Offboarding roulette
Contractors ended in payroll, still alive in GitHub and prod.
06
Prod pristine, corp chaos
Immaculate Terraform next to a shared admin password in a doc.

Real Outcomes

Product Companies, Unblocked

Engagements with software and SaaS teams.

01
SOC 2 before the quarter closed
A Series B SaaS company hit a wall: their largest prospect required SOC 2. We stood up controls, evidence collection, and remediation in 90 days — the deal signed the following quarter.
02
Forty hires, one quarter, no office
A post-funding hiring sprint doubled a client’s headcount across 14 states. Role-based provisioning and drop-shipped, self-building laptops kept every start date — engineering never lent a hand.
03
The contractor who stayed too long
An access audit for a dev-tools company found 11 former contractors with live repo or cloud access. Identity consolidation cut offboarding to one switch — the next audit found zero.
Frequently Asked Questions

Founder Questions, Straight Answers

What CTOs and COOs ask before handing off IT.

Our engineers handle IT now. Why pay for it?
Because they’re your most expensive help desk. Every hour spent on laptops and licenses is an hour off the roadmap — and the security stakes have outgrown side-of-desk attention.
Do you touch our production environment?
Only if you ask. Our default scope is corporate IT — identity, devices, email, corporate cloud — with a hard boundary at prod. Many clients keep production fully in-house and hand us everything else.
Can you support employees scattered across the country?
That’s the model we built for: drop-shipped provisioning, remote-first support, and security that doesn’t care which coffee shop someone works from.
Can you actually get us through SOC 2?
Yes — we implement the controls, run the evidence collection, and sit with you through the audit. Compliance readiness is a standing service, not a one-time scramble.
We’re on Google Workspace. Is that a problem?
No — we support it. And if enterprise buyers push you toward the Microsoft stack, our migration team moves you without breaking a sprint.
What does IT cost for a 50-person startup?
Typically a predictable per-user monthly rate that flexes with hiring — a fraction of a single IT hire, with a whole bench behind it. We quote from your actual stack.
