TechNoir Services
The last thing small and mid-sized businesses need are IT issues. The team at TechNoir Solutions knows companies do not have the time to perfect their technology and infrastructure, and we also know that when you need something to work, you need it to work now.
In addition to day-to-day IT support, TechNoir Solutions can assist with the planning and installation of infrastructure. Get help in making increasingly essential security decisions, choosing the technology and service providers that best suit your business’ needs. We ensure that you can focus on what’s important — your business.
My name is James Velco, President and CEO of TechNoir Solutions, and I guarantee I can eliminate your computer headaches. We understand you don’t like arguing about billing surprises, waking up to computer problems, or spending half of your time “managing” your IT manager, so we built a service for you called Smart IT.
Smart IT is a simple, “set it and forget it” way for you to rest at night. We constantly monitor your network for threats, perform proactive maintenance, actively manage the security of your data to prevent problems from ever happening, and fix issues right the first time. We’re working 24/7 with a guaranteed one-hour response whenever you need us and we never say “we can’t do that” or “that’s not covered”.

What is TechNoir?
TechNoir describes a style of movie-making, similar to cyberpunk. The name is taken from the movie that originated the genrè, The Terminator. In the movie, Sarah Connor first encounters the T-800 series Terminator at a nightclub called “TechNoir.” In the book, Tech-Noir Film: A Theory of the Development of Popular Genres, Emily E. Augler states that “…this term is also a useful descriptor, not only for the film in which it appears, but for many others that show how technology, once considered the Utopian dream of science, has become an aggressively destructive force….” Yikes.

Co-Founder & CEO, Level 4 Yoga, a CorePower Yoga Franchise“Once we got on the plan it really worked to minimize downtime and increase productivity...” When we decided to work with TechNoir Solutions, we didn’t realize what “managed IT support” meant but once we got on the plan it really worked to minimize downtime and increase productivity. Before, our people would constantly have small nagging issues that slowed their productivity until they couldn’t work anymore. Now, with TechNoir Solutions, our downtime has been reduced by 90% and the computers are always running because the PCs are constantly updated, rarely have issues and when they do, TechNoir responds quickly with their remote computer access system.
