Everything a small business needs to stay secure and spend less.
You don’t need a big IT department. You need IT asset management that keeps your kit and licenses under control, security that actually holds, and a team that talks straight and gets things done.

Small businesses get targeted by hackers more than most people realize. We find your weak spots and fix them before someone else does.

We’ve managed large-scale IT programs, handled major vendor audits, and led technology operations inside big organizations. We know how this works because we’ve been inside it.
Know What Tech You Own
IT asset management is our core specialty: tracking every piece of software and hardware your company owns, from purchase through retirement. We built and run our own software for it: Starkive Manifest, the asset register we ship and use ourselves.
Software Vendor Audits
When Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, or IBM comes knocking with an audit, it can cost you thousands if you’re not prepared. We step in, review your situation, and handle the whole process so you don’t get hit with a surprise bill. Manifest turns audit prep into one-click evidence packs mapped to ISO and NIST.
Cloud Setup & Migration
Moving your organization to the cloud or connecting on-site systems with Azure, AWS, or GCP? We plan the whole thing, build it correctly, and make sure it’s secure and running right from day one.
Stop Overpaying for Software
We audit your licenses, find where you’re over-paying, and go back to vendors to renegotiate. We’ve sat across the table from Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and Adobe. We know the pressure points, and where there aren’t any.
Clear Reporting for Leadership
We build dashboards and reports that show your leadership team exactly where the money is going, what’s at risk, and what needs to happen next, without the noise and confusion. With Manifest, you can simply ask in English and get the answer.
Your IT Director, Without the Full-Time Salary
We step in as your senior IT lead, owning programs, managing vendors, handling the hard conversations, and reporting back without the jargon. Senior-level experience at a fraction of the full-time cost.
