About Rethinkit

Rethinkit Inc, a privately-held information technology (IT) consulting corporation founded in 1999, specializes in the development, implementation, and management of strategic technology processes. Our methods and philosophy are based on over thirty years of experience as managers and leaders within corporate IT departments.

In Brief

• Established in 1998 as an IT consultancy, Rethinkit has evolved into a full range IT service provider
• Many Rethinkit products were created to offer cost effective solutions for expensive problems
• Founders pioneered a standardized computing environment for large financial firms
• Adapted “best practices” by large firms for use at small and medium sized companies

How we differ from other IT firms

• We offer complete coverage that does not end with hardware and software. We service all common business needs including corporate templates, graphics expertise, reporting, branch office needs, mobile devices, network routing, and IP telephony. We manage your relationship with service providers to avoid ‘islands of responsibility’.
  
  
• We favor outsourced services over built-from-scratch projects. Our selection of hosted solutions and services caters to a client focused on business rather than IT.
  
  
• We solve problem types, not just problem instances. We invest the extra time on a one-off fix so that it becomes a permanent solution. Our specialty is in bringing tried and true enterprise class solutions scaled appropriately to your environment.
