15 Years of
Operational Depth.
Since 2011, we have been installing, securing, and operating enterprise Microsoft environments for regulated mid-market businesses globally.
Who We Are
Since 2011, Simplicity IT has been built on a conviction: regulated mid-market companies deserve the same enterprise-grade Microsoft technologies, AI capabilities, and security architecture that Fortune 500 firms take for granted, without the enterprise-sized budgets or armies of consultants.
We changed that.
Based in New York City, our engineers embed with regulated mid-market teams to implement AI workflows, build the Zero Trust security harness, and stay to operate the full Microsoft stack.
Microsoft Solutions Partner Designations
Solutions Partner designations held: Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation, and Infrastructure.
Our Core Values
Security-First
We embed security into every solution, from Zero Trust architecture to identity governance. Your data protection is never an afterthought.
Client-Centric
Your success is our success. We listen, learn your business, and craft solutions that align with your goals, not ours.
Microsoft-Native
We live and breathe Microsoft. From Microsoft 365 to Azure to Entra, our deep expertise means smarter implementations.
Results-Driven
We measure success by your outcomes. Faster migrations, stronger security postures, improved user adoption: we deliver.
Support with Clear Commitments
Support hours, response targets and escalation arrangements are defined in your service agreement.
How an engagement runs
A clear path from assessment to managed service
Unclear scope delays migrations. Unchecked access creates security gaps. Simplicity IT helps mid-market to enterprise organizations plan the work, verify controls and approve each next step.
Start with the path that fits your need. The phases and services are agreed for your engagement.
