What TechHouse does

TechHouse is a privately held, woman-owned business technology consulting firm headquartered in the Bradenton/Sarasota, Florida area, serving small and mid-sized businesses across 36 U.S. states. With ~11 team members and a customer base of 238 accounts managing 22,000+ Microsoft licenses, the firm functions as a remote-first Microsoft-centric managed service provider and implementation partner targeting companies that need enterprise-grade IT capability without enterprise-scale budgets. Its stated focus is on mid-sized businesses across health, retail, hospitality, real estate, consulting, and remodeling verticals. The firm has been a Microsoft Partner for 20+ years (and references the Microsoft Partner Program since its inception ~30 years ago) and is led by founder/CEO Kathy Durfee, who also holds advisory roles with Enterprising Women, GROWFL, NAWBO, RSPA, ASCII, and the Women Presidents Organization. TechHouse holds the Microsoft Solutions Partner designation, an extensive catalog of Microsoft certifications across its team, and a Certified Woman Owned Business affiliation.

The company's technology stack is built entirely around Microsoft: Microsoft 365 (Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint), the Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Power Virtual Agents, Dataverse), Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Sales, Service, GP), Microsoft Azure AI / Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot for Sales, and Copilot for Teams, supplemented by QuickBooks and Watchguard. Layered on this platform are three trademarked proprietary offerings — Safety Plus™ (a Microsoft 365 security framework for configuration drift correction and identity/access hygiene), Empower My Data™ (a Power BI / Power Automate / SharePoint-based data transformation and reporting service), and The TechHouse BluePrint™ (a five-stage Diagnostic → Design → Build → Deployment → Review implementation methodology) — plus an AI Monitor product for AI-tool DLP and an Azure-AI-based AI Strategy Consulting service that deploys custom Retrieval-Augmented Generation architectures for private AI with data-sovereignty guarantees. Integration spans CRM, ERP, document, and support workflows, with AI capabilities covering generative AI, NLP, knowledge retrieval, process automation, predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and AI agent frameworks.

TechHouse makes money through a hybrid revenue model: monthly subscription managed services (Maintenance plans, IT Managed Services, Niche Managed Services such as the PowerPlatform HelpDesk with M365 Aware and RxDC CAA compliance reporting), pay-as-you-go On-Demand Consulting billed in 15-minute increments, multi-year Custom Projects with transparent billing, fixed-price Configuration Services (mailbox migrations, RMM setups), Microsoft licensing and partner services revenue (provisioning Microsoft 365, Copilot, Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and Azure), and Tools & Equipment resale (Microsoft software, Lenovo devices, Microsoft Surface hardware) sourced through premier distributors. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultation-driven, anchored by bookable strategy calls, dedicated sales ([email protected]) and support ([email protected]) channels, and a Microsoft Bookings integration for the CEO's calendar; this direct motion is complemented by Microsoft co-sell, community-driven demand generation through GROWFL/NAWBO/RSPA/ASCII/ASBN/WPO advisory memberships, and a content-led blog plus case-study library. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but is positioned as transparent, fairly priced, with discounts for Microsoft subscribers.

Core offering

TechHouse provides business technology consulting, managed IT services, and Microsoft platform implementation for small and mid-sized businesses. Core offerings include IT managed services, Microsoft 365 and Power Platform consulting, data transformation and analytics, cybersecurity configuration, and AI strategy and deployment. Services are delivered through recurring subscriptions, on-demand consulting, and custom projects, complemented by Microsoft and Lenovo hardware/software reselling.

Product overview

TechHouse operates as an IT partner offering a portfolio of named solutions and consulting services rather than a single unified SaaS product. The three flagship customer-facing solutions are Safety Plus™ (a security framework integrated with Microsoft 365), Empower My Data™ (data transformation and analytics built on Power BI, Power Automate, and SharePoint), and Support (IT, business systems, and operational integration). Around these, TechHouse delivers AI at TechHouse (Azure AI and RAG-based AI strategy consulting), Microsoft 365 consulting, and Power Platform consulting services. Implementation is governed by the TechHouse BluePrint™ methodology, and the firm has launched AI Monitor as an AI-governance add-on. Together, these offerings form a layered architecture: foundational Security (Safety Plus) → Data reliability (Empower My Data) → Operational Support (Support) → AI enablement (AI at TechHouse, AI Monitor), all delivered through Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Azure AI, and Dynamics 365 ecosystems.
