(01 — 03) What we do

We handle
the hard parts.

Three practices, one team. Senior engineers who plan it, build it, and keep it running.

01

IT
consulting

Clear-eyed strategy for teams that have outgrown “whoever knows computers.” We assess what you have, map where you're going, and turn technology into a competitive advantage instead of a tax.

  • IT strategy & roadmaps
  • Cloud architecture
  • Vendor selection
  • Security & compliance audits
  • Fractional CTO
02

AI
integration

AI where it actually pays off — not for show. We embed assistants, automation, and intelligence into the tools you already use, with a sober eye on cost, accuracy, and security.

  • Workflow automation
  • Custom copilots & assistants
  • RAG over your documents
  • Model selection
  • Safe rollout & training
03

Managed
IT

Proactive, mostly-remote support that keeps the lights on without the truck rolls. We monitor, patch, back up, and secure your environment so problems get solved before you notice them.

  • Proactive monitoring
  • Remote helpdesk
  • Patching & updates
  • Backup & disaster recovery
  • Security baseline
How we work

Four steps.
No drama.

A straight line from “something's off” to “handled.” You always know what's happening and what it costs.

01

Discover

We learn your stack, your goals, and where the friction is. It starts with a free consultation — no obligation, no jargon.

/ Free consult
02

Map

A clear, prioritized plan: what to fix, what to build, what to automate — with honest timelines and fixed-scope pricing.

/ The plan
03

Build & integrate

We implement. Cloud, security, and AI that plugs into the tools you already run — shipped in tight, visible increments.

/ Hands on keys
04

Operate & support

Proactive, mostly-remote managed IT. We keep everything running and improving so you don't have to think about it.

/ Always on
Why Backslash

Most IT help is either too junior to trust or too corporate to care. We're the opposite.

/ 01

Senior-led, every engagement

You work with experienced engineers — never a junior learning on your dime, never a ticket lost in a queue.

/ 02

Remote-first by design

We do the vast majority of work remotely, so you get faster response and lower cost. Onsite only when it genuinely helps.

/ 03

AI-native, not AI-hype

We've shipped real AI into real businesses. We'll tell you where it pays off — and where it's a distraction.

/ 04

Vendor-neutral

No kickbacks, no lock-in. We recommend what's right for you and architect for the exit, not the contract.

/ 05

Plain language

We translate technology into decisions you can actually make. If you need a glossary to follow us, we've failed.

/ 06

Right-sized

From scrappy startups to established teams — we scope to fit your stage, not the other way around.

Questions

Good
to know.

Straight answers to the things teams ask us first.

We're remote-first and handle the vast majority of work that way — it's faster and cheaper for you. We do offer occasional onsite support for specific needs like hardware, network setup, or a hands-on workshop, but onsite is the exception, not the model.

Practical things that save time or money: assistants that answer questions over your own documents, automation that removes repetitive busywork, and intelligence embedded in tools your team already uses. We start from a real bottleneck, prove value quickly, and roll out with security and cost in mind — no science projects.

Consulting and integration work is scoped as fixed-price projects, so you know the number before we start. Ongoing managed IT is a simple flat monthly rate based on your environment. The initial consultation is always free, and we'll never surprise you with an invoice.

Discovery usually begins within a few days of our first call. For urgent issues we can often move immediately; for larger builds we'll agree on a start date that fits your timeline during the mapping step.

Probably. We work with everyone from a few-person startup to established mid-market teams. We scope our engagement to your stage and budget — you'll never pay for enterprise overhead you don't need.

Yes. Many clients keep us on for proactive managed IT once the build is done, so the systems we set up stay healthy, secure, and improving. It's optional — there's no lock-in either way.
