What Tech Partners does

Tech Partners, Co. LLC is a privately held boutique IT consulting and managed services firm headquartered in Long Beach, California, founded around 2010. The company delivers network monitoring and maintenance, backup solutions, IT management, custom application development, and web hosting to mid-market and enterprise clients, primarily in the Los Angeles region. Its service catalog is organized into four lines: managed desktop and server subscriptions (priced at $95/desktop/month and $150/server/month respectively), professional services (virtualization, cabling, custom app development, SharePoint deployment, security audits, firewall setup), data center and hosting services (web/email/Exchange hosting, terminal server hosting via its own downtown LA facility), and enterprise project management for large-scale infrastructure initiatives. The firm also operates a specialized Entertainment & Media practice supporting Avid, Final Cut Server, VizuAll, and Xytech workflows for post-production houses.

Underlying technology is built on commodity enterprise IT infrastructure rather than proprietary platforms: fully redundant HP servers with Xen and VMware virtualization, Apache/Linux web hosting, Microsoft stack (Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, Active Directory, Windows Server), and custom application development in PHP, Visual Basic, and .NET. A proprietary encrypted file transfer tool for backups is the most notable custom-built component. The firm operates its own data center in downtown LA's Data Center district to support hosting, backup, and colocation services.

The business model combines recurring managed-services subscriptions with project-based professional services and large enterprise engagements. Named customers include Montgomery Glick & Company (a 10+ year accounting client), Sisu Media, a major East Coast national investment bank ($980K MAN upgrade project), a major automotive corporation (6,000-user division move), a major Hollywood production facility (25,000 sq ft data center build completed 23% under budget), and a major municipality (2,000+ printer deployment). Leadership consists of two principals: Bill Joseph (ex-Canon office technology) handling business management and Darin Harris (18 years IT, ex-CIO of Post Group) handling technology management. Headcount is 1-10, with no external funding or M&A activity disclosed.

Core offering

Tech Partners is a boutique IT consulting and managed services firm that delivers recurring managed IT support (desktop and server packages), project-based professional services (virtualization, networking, custom application development, security audits), hosted infrastructure (web/email hosting, Hosted Exchange, terminal servers), and enterprise IT project management for mid-market and enterprise clients. Their services are anchored by an owned-and-operated data center in downtown Los Angeles and supported by a small team of certified engineers who engage directly with clients.

Product overview

Tech Partners is a boutique IT consulting and managed services firm offering a portfolio of technology services rather than a unified software product. The core offerings include Managed Desktop Services ($95/month per desktop) and Server Managed Services ($150/month per server) as recurring subscription packages, supplemented by professional services (server virtualization, network building, custom application development, SharePoint, security audits, firewalls, and home theater integration), data center services (web/email hosting, Hosted Exchange, and terminal servers), and entertainment & media services (post production applications, AVID workflow support, and scheduling/asset management software). Enterprise Project Management handles large-scale infrastructure implementations.
