Let Portal Soothe Your IT Pain

Maybe you haven't hired a real IT person before because up until now you could handle it in-house. Maybe cost was a concern. Or maybe you had an outsourced IT services provider, but you were disappointed with the service or availability (or lack of). Let Portal soothe your IT pain with IT services, staffing and support.

IT Services

Whether it's your first time outsourcing IT or you need someone new, we're here for you, with IT services provided by a professional team, one that results in faithful forever clients. Our goal is to make your IT support as reliable as the phone on your desk and the lights in your ceiling.

IT Staffing

Sometimes you need more IT bodies but don't have the budget for a new hire. If you have the budget for a contractor, we can help. Portal can be an additional resource, backup or support for an in-house, full-time IT person or team. We have also helped many companies get through large rollouts or projects by giving them a temporary surge to their existing IT staff.

IT Support

At Portal, we only take on new clients when we have enough bandwidth to keep everyone up and running...while allowing for a buffer in case of an emergency. That is how we offer true 24x7 IT support, making availability a non-issue.

Hire Portal to take away the pain, with professionalism, reliability and availability.
