- Description:
- We founded CAL IT Group with a mission: redefine the managed services industry with a customer-first approach. From the beginning, we’ve prioritized long-term relationships over short-term profit. And that arrangement has proven to be mutually beneficial with 100% of our customers retaining us as their IT partner to this day.
Before founding CAL IT Group, we developed our expertise working for one of the nation’s largest MSPs. We oversaw IT teams and projects for the military, government, Fortune 500, and startup business sectors. But after an acquisition, we watched our employers sacrifice quality of service with plug-and-play, one-size-fits-all solutions that simply don’t lead to long-term success. Sadly, the majority of the industry has gone the same way.
So what... did we do? We developed a managed services strategy that puts customers, their business, and their unique needs first. Today, we serve as the all-encompassing IT partner for businesses of all industries and sizes across the country.
Every partnership begins with a comprehensive overview, complimentary system upgrade, and custom roadmap to IT success. We proactively adapt and learn in order to provide you with optimal, personalized solutions. We believe in open communication and full transparency – especially when it comes to billing. And we personally meet with our customers’ executives on a regular basis to continually improve our process. No task is too big, too small, or too specialized. We truly function as your IT department. We’re not just another managed service provider.We’re your long-term Managed Service Partner.10+ SMB upGrowthMSP Select USA 2026.

Their personal touch sets them apart—they take the time to tailor solutions that enhance our workflow rather than offering one-size-fits-all fixes. Their responsiveness is unmatched, addressing issues quickly and efficiently to minimize downtime. What really makes them stand out is their commitment to going above and beyond, proactively monitoring systems and recommending innovative solutions before problems arise. If you need an IT services provider that genuinely cares about your business and delivers top-tier support, CAL IT Group is the one to trust.”
“As the CFO of Crystal Art Gallery, my ongoing partnership with CAL IT Group has been crucial in modernizing and maintaining our IT infrastructure. We engaged them to refresh our IT environment, enhance cybersecurity, and implement a robust backup and disaster recovery strategy. From the outset, their proactive approach stood out—they conducted a comprehensive IT health check, deployed essential security and monitoring tools, and developed a long-term IT roadmap to ensure stability and future scalability. Their structured execution, from onboarding to ongoing strategy meetings, has significantly improved our server and network performance, reduced downtime, and strengthened data security. With their expertise, our infrastructure refresh has not only streamlined operations but also provided leadership with confidence that our IT systems are resilient and well-managed. CAL IT Group’s commitment goes beyond reactive support; they anticipate challenges, continuously optimize our environment, and remain actively engaged to ensure long-term success. Their partnership has been invaluable, allowing our internal teams to focus on strategic growth rather than IT concerns, and I look forward to continuing this collaboration.”
“Working with CAL IT Group has been an ongoing, invaluable partnership for our investment management company. When we first engaged them for managed IT and cybersecurity services, we needed to ensure compliance with industry regulations and felt we were behind on security. CAL IT Group took the time to thoroughly assess our environment, review policies, and implement solutions that have streamlined operations and enhanced our security posture. They transitioned us from a single server and AWS setup, optimized our infrastructure, and continue to provide proactive support that makes a tangible difference. Their team is incredibly responsive, handling everything from onboarding and offboarding employees to equipment procurement and cybersecurity policy guidance. What stands out most is their personal touch—no matter the issue, they take the time to ensure we feel supported, understood, and prioritized. They communicate clearly, keep us updated, and always follow through, even on the most complex challenges. Our employees have been consistently impressed with their attentiveness and customer service, making IT feel less like a burden and more like a seamless part of our business. Since we started working together in March 2021, they have become an integral part of our operations, and we look forward to continuing this relationship.”
“Our engagement with CAL IT Group has been instrumental in managing our IT infrastructure effectively. As the operations, graphics, and data manager of a manufacturing and distribution company, I rely on their expertise to maintain our computer environment, systems, and servers, both remotely and on-site as needed. Their team ensures secure remote access through the setup and management of our router, firewall, and VPN, and they assist with hardware and software procurement as required. Their responsiveness stands out, with a well-structured ticketing system that allows us to report and track issues efficiently through email and phone, often resolving them within minutes or hours. Their proactive support and structured approach to IT management have contributed to maintaining a stable and secure environment. Their professionalism, security measures, and ability to address issues promptly make them a valuable partner in ensuring the smooth operation of our IT systems.”
“We have an incredible partnership with CAL IT Group, transforming how we handle IT at Buchanan Street Partners, where I’m the Assistant VP of IT. When we decided to switch third-party providers for our onsite and offsite maintenance, we needed a team that could deliver top-notch support, and CAL IT Group has done just that. They seamlessly manage our secure cloud backups, firewall protection, and critical system updates. Their responsiveness is unmatched—when we submit a ticket, we get fast, effective solutions. What truly sets them apart is their proactive approach; they’re constantly monitoring our systems, ensuring our licenses and certificates stay up to date, and catching potential issues before they become problems. Their project management has been strong, with excellent communication, though adding another project manager could make them even better. If you’re considering CAL IT Group, go in with a solid plan—having a well-organized approach made our collaboration smooth and efficient. Overall, working with them has been a game-changer, and we look forward to continuing this successful partnership!”
“Working with CAL IT Group has been an ongoing and valuable partnership in strengthening our cybersecurity posture. As the IT Manager of a natural gas company providing alternative fuel solutions across the U.S. and Canada, I sought their expertise for internal and external penetration testing, ongoing vulnerability management, and advanced security solutions. Referred to me with strong ratings and a budget-friendly approach, CAL IT Group quickly demonstrated their value. Their structured process, from a thorough penetration test to the implementation of a proactive vulnerability management framework, has been instrumental in reducing security risks. Their team provided detailed reports, scheduled scanning protocols, and hands-on remediation support, ensuring that our defenses remain strong against evolving threats. The measurable improvements, including reduced vulnerabilities, faster response times, and enhanced security posture scores, underscore their effectiveness. Beyond delivering on time, their project management approach was transparent and adaptable, responding to our evolving needs while maintaining clear communication. What sets them apart is their holistic and forward-thinking approach—not just identifying risks but actively empowering our team with the knowledge and tools to stay secure. Their commitment to ongoing monitoring and education ensures that we’re not just reacting to threats but proactively mitigating them. As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, I value CAL IT Group as a trusted partner in maintaining and advancing our security resilience.”
“I’m the CIO of First Credit Union, based in Chandler, Arizona, serving the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan markets for over 90 years. I oversee IT, facilities, and digital and strategic initiatives, and we’ve been working with CAL IT Group since August 2016 in an ongoing partnership. Initially, we engaged them for email security and antivirus solutions, but their role quickly expanded to managing our Citrix VDI and VMware environments, including storage, backups, and patching. They’ve been instrumental in procuring and implementing infrastructure to enhance resilience, reducing our Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) to support our disaster recovery goals. They also helped deploy standardized desktop images across eight remote locations, ensuring efficiency and cybersecurity compliance, which was particularly valuable when we transitioned 70% of our workforce to remote work in under two weeks during COVID-19. Working closely with Kevin and his team, as well as partners like Citrix and Dell, we’ve experienced a threefold improvement in stability and uptime while achieving strong ROI. Their project management approach is highly organized, ensuring seamless execution with clear timelines and proactive communication, even when dealing with third-party delays. What stands out most is their deep understanding of our objectives, their ability to provide cohesive solutions, and their willingness to collaborate with other partners when needed. They’ve remained highly engaged, and as they continue to grow, maintaining their current level of service will be key. For any organization considering CAL IT, my advice is to be transparent about your business goals—if they understand your needs, they’ll deliver exactly what you require.”
“I’ve been working with CAL IT Group to support my team’s tech needs, with a strong focus on managing our Azure environment and cloud services to ensure stability, security, and scalability. As the CEO of Altura, a healthcare services company, having a reliable IT partner to handle our cloud infrastructure was critical. After an online search, CAL IT Group stood out due to their budget-friendly pricing, cultural alignment, and shared company values. They provided exceptional service in managing our Azure servers, optimizing cloud performance, and ensuring proactive planning and prevention. Their responsiveness has minimized downtime, keeping our operations running smoothly. Communication has been seamless through in-person meetings, virtual check-ins, and messaging, making collaboration effortless. What I appreciate most is their reliability—CAL IT Group delivers on their promises, staying engaged and proactive in managing our cloud infrastructure. So far, the experience has been excellent!”
“CAL IT Group has been an invaluable partner in managing our cloud exchange server and virtual environment. Their expertise and professionalism stood out from the start, seamlessly setting up our Cloud Hybrid over a weekend and completing our virtual environment with minimal disruption. Their team was highly responsive, providing thorough documentation and maintaining clear, efficient communication throughout the process. The workflow between our teams was seamless, making for a smooth and successful implementation. What truly sets CAL IT Group apart is their depth of knowledge and ability to deliver results with precision. We’ve been extremely satisfied with their service and look forward to continuing this partnership.”
“Since joining my company as an executive and department VP, I've been working closely with CAL IT Group, which functions as our external IT department. Without an in-house IT team, we rely on them for managed IT services, including system upgrades, IT support, cybersecurity, and strategic projects. They’ve handled everything from wireless network installations and firewall upgrades to software and hardware implementations, and they’re currently rolling out a managed detection and response (MDR) solution for us. My main interactions are with three key team members who delegate tasks to their broader support staff, and they’ve been a reliable partner in keeping our IT infrastructure running smoothly. Coming from larger organizations where I’ve assessed many IT service providers, I was initially skeptical of outsourced IT firms, but CAL IT Group quickly impressed me with their technical expertise and strong engineering capabilities—something I rarely see in managed IT providers. They’ve met our deadlines, stayed on budget, and significantly improved our network performance, taking our internet throughput from 200 Mbps to over 1 Gbps while reducing costs. For companies considering CAL IT Group, my advice is to engage with them as an extension of your team—regular account reviews and project prioritization discussions will ensure you maximize the value of their services.”
