SDGi

What SDGi does

SDGi (Software Design Group, Inc.) is a privately held IT consulting and web services firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Cypress, California (Orange County). The company delivers a bundled technology stack to small and medium businesses, combining managed IT services (network installation and support, network security, VoIP, business continuity/disaster recovery, remote access) with web services (website design and hosting, SEO/SEM, online marketing). Its technology backbone is built on Microsoft platforms — Windows Server, Exchange Server, SQL Server, SharePoint, Terminal Server, and Remote Desktop — for which SDGi holds Microsoft Partner and Small Business Specialist status, with adjacent expertise in Office 365 migrations, Google G Suite backup, WordPress, WooCommerce, HTML, and Magento.

The business operates a sales-led, inside-sales go-to-market model targeting SMBs in Orange County and surrounding Southern California markets. Lead capture is phone-driven (a prominent 714-761-3849 number) supplemented by website forms, Constant Contact email marketing, organic SEO, and paid SEM across Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring managed services subscriptions (network monitoring, backups, anti-spam/anti-virus, SEO monthly campaigns) and project-based professional services (web design, custom development, campaign launches), with a publicly disclosed entry-level price point of $49.99/month for remote access solutions and otherwise quote-based pricing.

SDGi is a founder-owned, family-operated business led by President Jim Latsch and Project Manager Cindy Latsch, with a stated 1-10 employee footprint (four individuals publicly named). The firm holds compliance-aligned positioning around HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA, and SEC/NASD for its backup and disaster recovery products, and serves a diversified base of SMB customers across construction, marketing, e-commerce, veterinary, industrial, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, municipal, and non-profit verticals. The company is operating with no disclosed external funding, no acquisitions, and no expansion beyond its Orange County origin.
