Company Description

Passionate Business Technology Experts Providing Distinguished IT Services

For more than three decades, we've built Velocita Technology, Inc. with one overarching goal : help small to midsize businesses use technology to reach their full potential.

Technology tends to be an uphill battle for smaller businesses. Most don't have the resources to hire a full-time IT staff in-house – and presume they need to "settle".

We believe businesses should never have to compromise with IT support.

Our experts are fiercely dedicated to providing clients with the same level of leadership, accountability, and execution they would receive from a fully-loaded internal team – at a fraction of the cost.
