Every Technology NeedTechnology

Applied Tech provides managed and co-managed IT services to small and mid-market businesses across Wisconsin and Colorado, with offices in Madison, Milwaukee, Denver, and Wausau. Founded in 1999, the company is now part of Heartland Business Systems and operates as a Microsoft Gold managed services partner. Clients can choose a fully managed arrangement or a co-managed model that supplements an existing internal IT team.

Services span help desk and end-user support, endpoint and device management, network and wifi setup, Microsoft 365 administration, backup and disaster recovery, vendor and license management, and IT strategy and roadmap planning. Deployment, optimization, and ongoing support across Microsoft tools fall under the same engagement, and pricing runs on a flat-fee model rather than hourly billing. A dedicated line of regulated security services addresses organizations that need to meet specific compliance frameworks.

Applied Tech supports compliance requirements including HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI, NIST, and CMMC, and maintains SOC 2 Type 2 compliance for its own operations. This focus on regulated environments, paired with flat-fee pricing and a choice between fully managed or co-managed support, shapes how the outsourced IT services are structured for clients in security-conscious industries.
