What Networking Technologies does

Networking Technologies, LLC is a privately held, founder-led IT managed services provider founded in 1998 and headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania, with additional offices in Buffalo, New York and Cleveland, Ohio. The company focuses exclusively on core IT infrastructure — network (wired and wireless), compute (servers, virtualization, VMware), storage (SAN/NAS), hybrid cloud, and infrastructure security — serving healthcare, education, enterprise, manufacturing, and government clients across a three-state regional footprint in Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio.

The product portfolio is organized around four pillars: Core Infrastructure Solutions (network, compute, storage, hybrid cloud, security hardware/software), Core Infrastructure Services (support, analysis, design, project management, business continuity), Managed Core Infrastructure (a three-tier cloud-based subscription offering — Essential/Monitor, Advanced/Maintenance, Professional/Manage — covering 24/7 NOC monitoring, incident remediation, patch management, backup/restore, and asset lifecycle management), and Secure Managed Services (SMS) which adds 24/7 SOC monitoring, NIST-based security frameworks, AI-driven threat detection, and compliance coverage for HIPAA, FERPA, CMMC, FFIEC, GLBA, SOX, DFARS, SHIELD, FISMA, and 23 NYCRR Part 500. A portfolio of eight specialized assessment services (Azure tenant, Entra ID, Active Directory, network, server, virtualization, wired/wireless, technology infrastructure) feeds the managed services pipeline.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: recurring managed services subscriptions billed monthly across the Essential/Advanced/Professional tiers; government contract reseller revenue from reselling 30+ technology vendor products (Cisco, HPE, Fortinet, Check Point, Barracuda, Extreme, Veeam, Aruba, SentinelOne, SolarWinds, Sophos, and others) through approved procurement vehicles (PEPPM, TD SYNNEX, Carahsoft, COSTARS, NCPA, NYS OGS, GSA Schedules); and professional services from consulting engagements. The go-to-market is consultative enterprise sales delivered through three regional offices, supported by industry-specific messaging, a content-marketing blog, and government contract channel access. Leadership is stable and founder-centric — CEO Jim Bahm, COO Wendy DeArment (15+ years), VP/CCO Wendy Bahm (10+ years), and Director of Sales & Marketing Darren Kretz — with no disclosed external institutional investment, acquisitions, or public-market activity.
