Co-Managed IT Tempe, AZ
Tempe's economy is tech-heavy — ASU Research Park, the startups and biotech firms around Rio Salado, the SaaS companies near Mill Avenue, and the established operators in the Tempe Town Lake corridor. The IT leads at those companies are technically strong but stretched: they're running cloud infrastructure, SaaS sprawl, security, and the help desk all at once. Co-managed IT gives them senior depth without giving up ownership.
Liquid IT runs a co-managed model built for Tempe companies with a 1-3 person internal IT team. We provide tier-3 escalation, 24/7 monitoring, security and compliance overlay (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI), after-hours coverage, and project bandwidth — so your IT lead stops drowning in tickets and starts moving the roadmap. 15-minute response from Arizona-based senior engineers, backed by our 90-day money-back guarantee.
Tempe's mix of startups, research-adjacent companies, and SaaS operators creates a particular IT problem: heavy use of cloud and SaaS, fast headcount growth, and rising security expectations from enterprise customers and SOC 2 auditors. A solo internal IT person genuinely cannot simultaneously run SaaS governance, identity hardening, evidence collection, and the help desk. Co-managed lets your IT lead stay the strategic owner while we provide the depth, the documentation, and the after-hours coverage.

Years of enterprise IT experience
Local Arizona team. Real engineers. No outsourced overseas help desks, no surprise invoices, no jargon — just IT that works.
Arizona-based engineers covering Tempe tickets nights and weekends so your IT lead actually gets a break — critical for growth-stage companies where one person knows everything.
Complex Azure, Entra ID, AWS IAM, SaaS integration, and security incidents handled by our senior team with documented handoff back to your internal lead.
Managed EDR, identity hardening, vulnerability management, and audit-ready evidence for SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, PCI, and the security questionnaires your enterprise customers send.
Microsoft 365 migrations, Azure/AWS rollouts, office relocations around Tempe Town Lake or the Research Park, rapid headcount onboarding, M&A IT integration.
SaaS sprawl cleanup, license right-sizing, ISP escalations, hardware procurement, and warranty tracking — the unglamorous work that eats your IT lead's week.
Documentation your team owns and can edit. Eliminates the 'only one person knows' risk that breaks growth-stage companies when the IT lead takes PTO or leaves.

"Liquid IT changed how our law firm runs. Fifty years in business, multiple offices, a huge database — and response times that beat anything we've had before. The communication and expectation management are unlike any other provider we've worked with. If you're choosing between firms, pick this one."
"We were facing a critical six-month system breakdown that multiple companies had tried—and failed—to fix. Josh and the team jumped in immediately, worked outside business hours, resolved the issue overnight, and delivered a scalable solution within 48 hours. Their integrity, speed, and technical expertise are unmatched."
"Liquid IT has been an incredible resource helping to navigate a few extremely stressful situations. From the onset, they were professional, calm and friendly. Thank you for being great at your work but also being genuinely nice people. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!"
"Meghan does an exceptional job of understanding your needs and making the most of your budget to effectively reduce your cybersecurity risk. She's skilled at identifying priorities and delivering smart, impactful solutions. I would highly recommend reaching out to her and her team."
"Josh and his team are excellent! Tickets are always addressed quickly and accurately. And the patience they display with our more technology challenged staff is above and beyond!"
"Liquid IT is incredibly knowledgeable. Our church had been trying to get Cox to resolve a problem for nearly two years. We hired Liquid IT and they fixed the problem in a matter of days. They have great business connections and are very responsive. We are highly satisfied!"
"Josh and the team at Liquid IT are absolutely amazing at taking care of my IT needs. Their active monitoring of my network and systems makes sure that we stay up and running all the time. Their proactive approach has proven to be very helpful. They are true IT professionals!"
"Their expertise and quick response time have made a huge difference for our business. Whether it's technical issues or implementing new systems, they handle everything with professionalism and efficiency. I highly recommend Liquid IT for anyone looking for reliable and knowledgeable IT services!"
"Liquid IT is one of the smartest business decisions we have made. They have helped us navigate unfamiliar territories where we most likely would have failed without their expertise. We 1,000% recommend Liquid IT to anyone needing a miracle worker in IT!"
"After slow response times from our previous MSP we switched to Liquid IT. The ticket speed response is fast and better quality. Josh knows every team member by name. He also meets with us to discuss our IT plan on a regular basis. Our firm is running better as a result."
"Our company benefits daily from Josh and his amazing team - keeping our files and client data protected. Highly recommend!!"
"Not only does he always immediately identify problems and solve them, but he is the most pleasant provider that we have had. I consider him a great friend. When he left the company that previously did computer tech for our firm, I was lost. With his new firm now in place, we are in much better shape."
"Their team was quick to respond, helped me with all my IT issues and went above and beyond to help me with a few other issues I didn't even know were present. Highly recommend!"
"I appreciate Liquid IT's proactive approach to managing the changing IT landscape. No problem is too small or too big. Liquid IT is always there ready to help with real solutions."
"The team at Liquid IT has been fantastic. Quick to respond and to resolve the issues. As someone who admittedly has limited IT knowledge, I come to depend on Liquid IT to help me through issues as they occur. They never let me down."
"Good work, good communication. More importantly addresses challenges quickly."

Tempe's SaaS and tech-services companies hit the same wall: a big enterprise customer sends a 200-question security questionnaire, the deal is gated on SOC 2 Type II, and the internal IT person is supposed to build the program in three months on top of their existing workload. We provide the documented controls, the evidence collection, and the bench depth to get through audit and to satisfy customer security review — without your IT lead burning out.
