A real person answers the phone
When your staff needs help, they reach someone who can actually start helping. No auto attendants, no endless menus, no filling out a form and hoping. It sounds like a small thing until you've spent a morning waiting on a ticket queue.
Response measured in minutes, not days
Measured over a three-month period, clients waited less than two minutes from calling until a technician was working on their issue. We publish that number because it's measured, not marketing. It describes how quickly someone starts working — a complicated problem still takes as long as it takes.
You work with the principal
Owen Wollum personally leads client relationships. You get senior-level judgement on your technology instead of an account representative relaying messages to someone you never meet.
Specialists when the work calls for it
Dependable IT works with an established network of trusted technology specialists. When a project needs deep expertise in a particular area, we bring in the right person — you keep one accountable point of contact.
Month-to-month, by design
Our agreements are month-to-month and can be ended with 30 days notice. We believe we should earn your business every month.
The 100% / 100-Day Guarantee
If we can't meet your satisfaction during the first 100 days after you sign up as a managed services client, we'll refund 100% of the monthly fees you've paid us to that point.
Proactive, not just reactive
We keep an eye on your systems so problems can often be handled before they interrupt your staff — updates applied, warning signs noticed, small issues dealt with quietly.
Predictable flat monthly cost
Ongoing support is a flat monthly fee, so nobody hesitates to call and you can budget technology like any other operating cost. Larger projects and hardware are quoted separately.
Genuinely local to Tacoma and Pierce County
We're based here. Most issues are solved remotely in minutes, and when something needs hands on the equipment we can be there — not dispatched from another metro area.
Security is part of support, not an upsell
Protecting accounts, devices, data and backups is built into how your technology is managed. You shouldn't have to know what to ask for in order to be protected.
Relationships that last years
Several of our clients have been with us for many years. That's the clearest measure we have of whether this is working.
