As we’ve grown, our vision of thoughtful, expert-driven service has remained intact and become the cornerstone of our reputation.

Our company works closely with clients around the world

Envescent offers computer and technology services ranging from business IT support all the way through in-depth consulting; automation of business processes; cloud solutions and migrations; cybersecurity audits and remediation; IT policy development and training. We specialize in helping businesses outsource information technology so that they can focus on their operations and growth.

We work to address our clients’ technology needs promptly and professionally. We think outside of the box, providing a combination of value and expertise that is unparalleled in our industry. All with excellent customer service, communications and a steadfast commitment to adapting our strategies to fit your company’s specific IT needs.

And unlike managed service providers (MSP) that charge a monthly fee even if no work is completed, we bill on an as-needed basis.  This saves our business clients money over the duration of our relationship. It also builds trust as we communicate what work we are doing and why we are doing it to ensure we have a mutual understanding of services rendered.

As a result we form long lasting relationships with our business clients by not just becoming another IT service provider, but a meaningful partner in your business’ success.

What are the origins of Envescent as a name?

We thought a great deal about what to name our company.  After much consideration and research we created the name Envescent. Our company name is inspired by Latin and means, “to grow from within.” 

When Envescent was originally founded, our vision was that we would be growing not just as a company, but also growing our expertise as time goes on and as the IT industry evolves. Since then, Envescent has thoughtfully expanded its capabilities, insight and focus — living up to the name as originally imagined.
