EVOTEK

What EVOTEK does

EVOTEK is a private, founder-owned technology consulting and solutions provider headquartered in Solana Beach (San Diego), California, founded in 2014 by CEO Cesar Enciso. The firm delivers professional services across five practice areas: Cybersecurity Solutions (zero trust, identity, cloud security, AI security), Network Solutions (campus, data center, cloud networking, SD-WAN), Digital Platform Solutions (compute, virtualization, storage, automation, CI/CD), Executive Advisory (fractional CIO/CISO/CTO, AI governance, risk and compliance), and an Emerging Technology Practice that surfaces emerging vendors through VC relationships. EVOTEK does not develop its own software platforms; it integrates and operationalizes technology from a vendor-agnostic ecosystem of 200+ partners, including Cisco (Premier), Palo Alto Networks (Diamond), Zscaler (Zenith), Netskope (Platinum), CrowdStrike, Cohesity, NetApp, and VMware by Broadcom.

The company monetizes through two primary revenue streams captured in negotiated Order Forms: third-party product resale (transaction-fee model covering hardware, SaaS, and software procured and resold to clients) and professional consulting services (project and retainer-based engagements scoped via statements of work, frequently delivered using subcontractors under EVOTEK's responsibility). Services are non-cancelable and fees are non-refundable per the Master Purchase and Services Agreement. Go-to-market is sales-led and practitioner-led, targeting Fortune 1000 enterprise buyers through executive-level advisory engagements and a partner co-sell channel, with demand generation through the corporate website, owned executive events, thought-leadership content, and social channels.

EVOTEK segments its market by vertical across Financial Services (primary), Government & Public Sector, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Hospitality & Travel, Manufacturing, Media & Entertainment, and Technology & SaaS. The firm has acquired Mystic River Consulting (October 2020) and AVTECH Integrations (June 2023) to broaden its portfolio. It has been recognized on Inc. 5000, the CRN Solution Provider 500, Tech Elite 250, and Fast Growth 150 lists, holds a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation, and counts 101-250 employees.
