Splashwire

What Splashwire does

Splashwire is a privately held IT consulting and managed services provider headquartered in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, with a company-owned datacenter in Harrisburg, PA, and a team distributed across the Mid-Atlantic region serving clients nationally. Founded in 2000, the company delivers an integrated portfolio including Managed IT Support Services (help desk, system monitoring, maintenance, 24/7 US-based support), vCIO/vCISO consulting, hybrid Cloud Services from its own datacenter bridging client-premise and Azure environments, IT Security services covering NIST/CMMC/HIPAA/PCI compliance and incident response, IT Solutions (converged architecture, virtualization, networking), and Communication Services (broadband and telecom). Its technology stack is built on partnerships with Dell Technologies (Dell EMC Gold Partner), Cynet (MDR/XDR), Microsoft, VMware, Veeam, Datto, Cisco, Okta, and Keeper, enabling the firm to deliver full-stack infrastructure, security, and identity solutions without owning underlying IP.

Splashwire generates revenue primarily through monthly recurring managed services subscriptions, supplemented by professional services consulting engagements and consumption-based cloud hosting. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with vCIOs embedded in client executive teams; thought leadership content is delivered through 'The Wire' blog/newsletter authored primarily by CEO Josh Hinkle, with lead capture via website forms. Customer segments include Government, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Education, Non-profit, and SMB, with named accounts such as Franklin County and Ace Distributing.

In 2026, Splashwire launched AIOaaS (AI Officer as a Service), a fractional AI leadership offering spanning strategy, governance, ROI, and training, alongside Cynet MDR/XDR managed security services. The company operates without external institutional funding and is led by President and CEO Josh Hinkle, who has directed the firm since its founding nearly 25 years ago.
