Why PCGiT? The PCG Difference.
Key IT Provider Differentiators
PCGiT simplifies IT management and security for our clients, using proven IT processes and an integrated security stack from Microsoft, Cisco Meraki, and HP. Our goal is to always align IT with your business objectives and provide exceptional service, strategy, and tech support that improve productivity, decrease overhead, and increase profits.
But not all IT managed service providers (MSPs) are equal. They vary in expertise, support levels, depth of technical skills, management processes, and company culture. If you’re considering a new MSP, we recommend doing an in-depth analysis to ensure that the company you select has the skillset, bandwidth, resources, processes, and knowledge to maintain and secure your network.
You deserve an MSP with a proven track record of success, high employee and client retention rates, and great testimonials and reviews. You deserve the PCG difference.
The Importance of an Experienced MSP
The range and complexity of technologies supporting your business are ever-changing and increasingly difficult to manage. The challenges are even greater when you add cybersecurity, compliance, and governance to the mix. Most businesses can’t afford to hire a full-time internal IT team, and a single professional doesn’t have the breadth of skills to support their varied needs.
The solution? An MSP. By utilizing a team of IT security experts, your business can improve productivity, reduce downtime, and protect its data, while saving time and money.
At PCG, we have the technology and security experts you need to keep your business up and running. What sets us apart from the competition? Check out these key differentiators.

Your Dedicated Engineer gets to know your network inside and out. They provide consistency of service and help the VCIO create a plan for your IT and cybersecurity needs.
vCIO Services >>
Analyzing business processes and facilitating technology changes requires a deep understanding of your organization. To help you improve your IT performance and optimize your budget for future planning, we take a deep dive into your current technology plan, and we get to know as much as possible about your unique goals and challenges.
Your virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) and a dedicated team of engineers will help you manage your IT infrastructure, plan for growth and development, and create a clear roadmap for the future. During our CIO/IT Strategy Reviews, we define your IT assets and create a plan to help you reach your organizational goals.
At PCG, we make sure that every dollar our clients spend on IT supports their short and long-term goals.
Risk Assessments >>
Every organization faces cybersecurity risks, but their vulnerabilities are different. Plenty of people are ready to sell you what you don’t necessarily need, but at PCG, we want to ensure that you only invest money where it makes sense for your unique risks and priorities.
We provide full, accurate risk assessments and customized recommendations to help you make the best decisions possible for your business. Tailored risk assessments give you the insights you need to understand the threats facing your business and security measures needed to overcome them.
Cybersecurity Services >>
We provide a comprehensive review of your internal/external IT environment. During security reviews, we perform a full audit of your compliance and security practices, in-depth vulnerability scans, and a gap analysis. Then, we create a detailed report including a scorecard of your current compliance and security standing and a heat map showing how you stack up to similar-sized businesses in your industry.
To help you address your cyber risks, we create a roadmap and a budget to guide the implementation of the best tools and policies for advanced security.
CISSP Professionals >>
PCG is one of the only companies in the northeast with two Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSPs) on staff. This unique recognition allows for a broader and deeper understanding of cybersecurity and the processes necessary for the guidance and protection of your data.
CISSP Professionals are in high demand across many industries due to their advanced knowledge and ability to defend against data breaches and improve security measures.
Disaster Recovery >>
To protect your data when disaster strikes, you need a documented disaster recovery plan with a defined recovery point objective (RPO). We help you determine your RPO, and we help you plan with data encryption, a redundant ISP, and offsite cloud spin-up capabilities.
Then, we test your recovery plan every month so that you can have peace of mind about your business’s continuity. These reports are presented during your quarterly business review (QBR) with your dedicated Client Success Manager.
Client Success Manager >>
Managed Premium clients have their own Client Success Manager (CSM) with a dedicated phone line and direct access to them. They’re act as an advocate and liaison between your company and PCG’s team.
The CSM’s goal is to build a relationship with open dialogue so that we can deliver the technology and services your company needs to thrive and optimize its IT spend.
Your Client Success Manager helps your company with:
- Projects

- Invoice questions
- Ticket escalations
- Quarterly business reviews

Training Services >>
Most users only take advantage of 10-20% of their software features. Training ensures you get the most out of your IT investment and improves employee satisfaction and retention rates.
To help your staff be as productive as possible, we provide customized training for Microsoft products and line-of-business applications to ensure your staff is as productive as possible. We also offer yearly employee security training to keep your staff up to date on the latest threats.
Annual security training reduces your risks of phishing, social engineering, and ransomware attacks, but it also helps to protect your company’s reputation and its bottom line.

We can help you manage projects ranging from PC set-up and network integration to department-specific projects for accounting, sales, or CAD. Our project management services ensure on-time and in-budget delivery, and our customer satisfaction scores are at 96.7%.
Procurement Services >>
PCG can handle the procurement of IT hardware, software, and cloud-based services. We can also be your liaison for internet, phone, and other IT-related services. We help our clients choose the best services for their needs as well as their budgets.
We help you review options based on cash flow considerations and whether it works better to have the IT expenses as a capital expense (CAPEX), an operating expense (OPEX), or a blend.
Onboarding >>
Onboarding is a complex, complicated part of hiring a new MSP. With decades of experience, PCG ensures this process goes smoothly for our clients. We start with a tech discovery to learn about your IT assets and pain points. Then, we work with you to create a roadmap to address aging equipment, failing backups, out-of-date warranties, and other concerns.
Your lead engineer helps you identify the best ways to deploy tools and strengthen your IT network. Then, we work with you and your existing MSP to ensure a seamless transition to our services and your new improved IT infrastructure.
