What We Offer

Picture
We focus on people and process.
 
High severity incidents are complicated and require a team of Subject Matter Experts (SME) working for an Incident Commander (IC) to restore IT systems to Uptime quickly. To that end, we believe there are six basic tenets to successfully resolving any IT incident:
  • Assemble the right people as rapidly as possible
  • Provide clear and focused leadership to ensure forward momentum in the resolution effort
  • Use the right tools to gather and synthesize information in order to make the best decisions possible in the shortest amount of time
  • Ensure that specific and accurate communications are made in a timely manner to key responders and other identified stakeholders
  • Create an organizational culture that supports emergency response
 
Our goal is to help your team quickly and efficiently resolve any type of incident and get your operations back to normal.


We have over 100 years of collective incident management experience leading Special Operations teams in busy urban Fire Departments on the east and west coast and managing critical technology infrastructure across the United States. We also have incident management experience in 40+ countries at the highest levels of government and industry. We take best practices, literally tested by fire, and translate them into the world of IT Operations.

What is a minute of your downtime worth?
