Guardian Networks

Guardian Networks provides IT outsourcing and computer support services to small and medium businesses. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

Who is it for? Mostly companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Outsourcing and SEO, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Guardian Networks is based in Costa Mesa, California and founded in 1995. More on guardiannetworks.com.
