I joined as employee number one, and never looked back

I didn't start Shartega IT. I joined as the first employee in 2003. Before then, I was a network engineer for a Fortune 500 company, supporting large-scale IT projects across the country.

That work taught me what well-structured technology can do for a business, and how expensive reactive IT becomes when nobody is watching upstream.

I believe businesses deserve a partner that works to prevent problems, not a vendor that fixes things after they break. That conviction shapes everything we do.

Core values

We hold ourselves to these values, they drive our work for and interaction with our clients.

WOW our customers

Customer Success is our Success. Achieve exceptional customer experience through providing clear expectations, consistent communication, and responsiveness.

Work hard, recharge

Accept the challenge to work hard while prioritizing mental health and family.  Manage time effectively, set priorities, and take breaks when necessary.  Be self-aware and communicate if overwhelmed.

Be transparent

Be honest, own your mistakes, and stay humble. We believe trust starts with telling the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Win together

Great things happen when we work as a team. We take responsibility, support one another, stay positive, and make sure there’s room to have fun along the way.

Be helpful

Be professional.  Show respect by being polite to everyone.  Maintain a positive attitude.  Help yourself and others succeed.

We're your partner, not a vendor

Our approach is built on relationships. We take the time to understand your business, industry, challenges, and goals so the guidance we give actually fits.

We're not just waiting for your call. We work alongside you as a trusted advisor, helping you use technology to improve efficiency, strengthen security, and grow.

Our team is responsive, accountable, and built to feel like an extension of your organization rather than an outside number you dial when something goes wrong.

Our clients have only positive things to say about us...

This company does a great job. I usually work with Aleks, and he is always quick and spot on with fixing the issue on the first try.

Sam was a busy man yesterday; he set up new printers in the shop (that were sorely needed), added them all to the network, deleted the old printers and got all the new ones tested and working. Thanks Sam
