What Strategic Technology does

Strategic Technology Systems, Inc. is a privately held Managed Service Provider founded in 2001 by Adam Mears and headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Operating with a lean 1-10 person team, the firm delivers a unified four-pillar portfolio: Managed IT Services (24/7 monitoring, help desk, server and network management, and patch and backup management), IT Security Services (managed firewall, penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, social engineering testing, and incident response), Cloud Services (Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, SharePoint, VOIP telephony, and private or hybrid cloud), and Consulting Services (Fractional or Virtual CIO, strategic planning, business continuity, and cloud migration). The underlying technology stack is built entirely on third-party platforms including Microsoft, AWS, SentinelOne, Sonicwall, Bitdefender, Datto, Cisco Meraki, LastPass, and KnowBe4, integrated and operated by the in-house team rather than developed as proprietary software.

The company sells through a consultative, sales-led direct engagement model with quote-based pricing and recurring monthly managed-service fees, supplemented by channel referrals from technology partners such as Microsoft, AWS, HP, and Dell. The customer base of 100+ organizations is distributed across small and mid-sized businesses with documented vertical depth in community banking and credit unions, healthcare, and specialty SMB operators such as auction houses. Marketing is conducted primarily through organic content including a blog, a monthly newsletter, LinkedIn, and customer case studies rather than paid acquisition.

Strategic Technology is founder-owned with no disclosed external equity or institutional investment, no subsidiaries, no M&A history, and no patents or trademarks. Long-tenured vendor relationships (Sonicwall and Dell exceeding 20 years; Microsoft Cloud Solutions Provider; Microsoft Small Business Specialist) and team credentials including Certified Ethical Hacker and Information Systems Auditor underpin its positioning as a trusted, relationship-driven outsourced IT department for organizations that lack the scale to staff one internally.
