What we handle

Built for private-equity portfolios.

IT due diligence

Before you close, we review the target’s IT, security, and licensing, and tell you what it will take and cost to bring it up to standard.

Acquisition onboarding

A playbook that gets a new company secured and onboarded in 5 to 10 business days.

One portfolio standard

One stack across companies: Microsoft 365, endpoint security, backup, monitoring, documentation, and cloud phones.

Vendor consolidation

One partner instead of a different MSP at every company. Briarcliff Capital Partners went from 10+ IT vendors to one.

Executive reporting

Quarterly briefings, roadmaps, and IT metrics across the portfolio for firm leadership, with the vCIO add-on.

Exit readiness

Documentation, security evidence, and clean licensing, so IT is not a finding when a buyer looks.

  • MSP fragmentation reduced from 10+ vendors to one IT partner
  • New acquisitions onboarded 2x faster than previous transitions

“Boston Managed IT is more than a vendor — they’re our embedded IT strategy team. Every acquisition runs smoother, every location gets the support they need, and our operating partners finally have a playbook that works.”

Jennifer Blake, Managing Partner

Questions

What deal teams ask us.

Can each portfolio company keep its own identity?

Yes. Help desk, onboarding materials, and email domains can be set up per company, as we did across the Briarcliff portfolio.

How fast can you secure a new acquisition?

Five to ten business days with our onboarding playbook, and acquisitions onboard about twice as fast as Briarcliff’s earlier transitions.

Who reports to the deal team?

Leadership-level planning and reporting come with the vCIO add-on: quarterly briefings, roadmaps, and portfolio-wide IT metrics.
