OunceIT

What OunceIT does

OunceIT is an IT managed services provider headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, that delivers outsourced IT department services primarily to independent (private K-12) schools in the New England region. Founded in 2009 by Jeremy Angoff, a former teacher and IT manager, the company operates on a trademarked 'I.T. Takes a Team®' model in which a multi-disciplinary staff—engineers, network specialists, educational technology consultants, and support technicians—serves as the school's full IT function.

The core offering is a managed services bundle that covers four pillars: leadership and vision alignment, technology process and change management, infrastructure and technical support, and educational technology with professional development. Supporting this is a documented EdTech Ecosystem framework organized around 14 focus areas and encompassing more than 35 supported platforms (Google Workspace, Canvas, Schoology, Apple Classroom, Mosyle, Adobe Express, MagicSchool, etc.). Additional service modules include tailored EdTech Packages, structured assessment-and-roadmap engagements, and a growing calendar of workshops, webinars, and self-paced online courses. No proprietary software product or API is offered; the firm is people-and-process intensive rather than product-led.

OunceIT generates revenue through customized managed services contracts, sized to each school's needs and typically scoped as a multi-year outsourced IT engagement. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through a consultative, relationship-driven sales motion that begins with an EdTech assessment and roadmap exercise. The firm is privately held by founder Jeremy Angoff, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries, and reports approximately 30+ employees as of the most recent material.

Broad incumbents

• CDW Education: CDW is a large IT solutions and services provider with a dedicated education division serving K-12 and higher education. It is a much broader incumbent that competes with OunceIT on hardware procurement, integration, and managed services for schools.
• Vector Solutions: Vector Solutions offers training, compliance, and operations software across education and other sectors. It is a broader incumbent adjacent to OunceIT's professional development and EdTech services, with overlapping K-12 customers.
• SHI International: SHI is a large IT services and solutions provider serving enterprises and public-sector clients including education. It competes with OunceIT in managed IT and technology procurement for schools, but at significantly greater scale and breadth.

Direct peers

• Edutech: Edutech is an IT services firm that focuses specifically on independent schools, providing managed IT, EdTech integration, and support — the closest direct analog to OunceIT's positioning in the same customer vertical.
• Kajeet: Kajeet delivers managed connectivity, device management, and EdTech solutions to K-12 schools, overlapping with OunceIT's EdTech integration and infrastructure support offerings for educational institutions.
• Lightspeed Systems: Lightspeed Systems provides IT management and filtering for K-12 schools, operating in the same school IT operations category as OunceIT, though delivered primarily as a software/SaaS platform rather than outsourced services.

Emerging players

• ManagedMethods: ManagedMethods provides cloud security and monitoring purpose-built for K-12 schools. It overlaps with OunceIT's infrastructure and security components but competes as a SaaS point solution rather than a full-service MSP.
• DyKnow: DyKnow offers classroom device management and monitoring tools used in K-12 schools. It competes with part of OunceIT's EdTech ecosystem scope (device and classroom management) but does not deliver outsourced IT services.
• Datapoint (LanSchool): Datapoint (formerly LanSchool) provides classroom and device management for K-12 schools. It is a smaller, emerging software player that overlaps with OunceIT's EdTech integration scope rather than competing head-to-head on managed services.

Others

• Frontline Education: Frontline Education provides administrative software (HR, student information, health) to K-12 schools. It serves the same independent school customers as OunceIT but is a SaaS product company rather than an outsourced IT services peer.
