"DivergeIT adds significant value to our internal IT team in the areas of Network Management and Microsoft Cloud design, deployment, and management experts."
We really believe this, and expect that to be the case across the board. Sadly, it's not. Several mid-sized businesses have found themselves in an awkward spot— too big for the IT guy down the street, and not quite ready for an entire team of in-house IT experts.
As a result of that, you've probably just been "making do" with mediocre IT support and cookie-cutter services. Not with us, you won't. We know what the norm is: responding to tickets after a couple of hours, leaving you high and dry in an emergency, and treating you like just another number on a screen...
We've seen all that over the years and started DivergeIT to do the exact opposite. With us, you get to experience under 1-minute responses, same-hour resolution, and a hands-on approach to IT that you’ve most likely never experienced before! And all this, within your budget!
Tired of trying to hire and manage an IT team? Are the band-aid solutions not sufficient anymore? We've got you covered.
With the current state of the economy, can you really afford to pay too much for IT? Get the most premium value for your dollar.
One little tweak in your IT can mean considerable efficiency gains for your business. Imagine working in an IT environment that is tailored for you!

When a Formula 1 driver brings their car into the pit, they rely on their pit crew to complete their tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible. The driver's main goal is to win the race, and the pit crew's job is to get the car back on the track as fast as possible.
Similarly, at DivergeIT, we understand that our clients' information technology systems are critical to their success, and our job is to maintain those systems so that our clients can focus on their core business goals. We work as a team to solve problems and address issues, always striving to provide the fastest and most efficient service possible. Seconds matter. Just like a pit crew counting seconds during a race, we understand that every moment counts when it comes to our clients' technology systems.
In 1999, Jim founded the company. At this time, the core focus was to provide information consulting services to business owners.
While at that, he noticed a major gap in the industry — small and mid-sized businesses were plagued with poor IT support, and there was not way to keep IT leaders accountable...
Jarrod Koch was providing network and software engineering services to businesses at the time. Being close friends, Jim and Jarrod began discussing how difficult it was for business leaders and IT leaders to form successful partnerships...

As Jim and Jarrod continued their discussions over several months, they identified a major core problem that, once solved, would create significant value for every business struggling with IT health and business alignment issues:
Business leaders and IT leaders needed a real-time, shared reporting system that allowed them to operate with the same set of status reports and success criteria that were understandable and measurable by both.
Jarrod joined as a partner. They began to envision a real-time, shared reporting system that could be instantly accessed and understood by both business leaders and IT leaders using green, yellow, and red color-coded status indicators...
