Director of Accounting and Administration, Blue Rose Capital Advisors

Thriveon is one of the best things that happened to us this year. We started out retaining their services to obtain a more reliable and effective data backup solution, but their services to us evolved into a partnership where they are providing not only backup, but also disaster recovery, enhanced security, regular system and hardware monitoring and maintenance, and day-to-day speedy, reliable, professional and knowledgeable support services for all our IT needs (which Thriveon offers through their unlimited support program). Thriveon encourages support requests from all our staff members, for all of our IT questions, big or small, including questions regarding Microsoft Office and our other applications and software programs. Their engineers are friendly and really approachable.

Managing Partner, The Legal Professionals

Thriveon has provided the strategic planning and foresight that had been lacking in our IT environment. Our IT investments have transformed from reactive to proactive, putting us on the right track to improve our infrastructure, reduce our downtime and plan for future improvements. They’ve been an invaluable business partner and resource.

Liza Kukla

Controller, Schell's

Thriveon has been an outstanding business alliance for our company. At certain times, we are high maintenance. It is wonderful to know that no matter what our demand, they are always there to help. In our industry, managing data and compliance are the cornerstone to ensuring privacy for our clients. Their reliability and dedication to network management lets us know we are protected. This has led to not only improvements in productivity but also peace of mind.

Dale Carlson

Managing Partner, Carlson Highland

Since partnering with Thriveon, we’ve experienced a significant improvement in our IT operations. Their team’s expertise, responsiveness and professionalism have helped us overcome complex challenges and optimize our IT environment for better performance and reliability. We highly recommend Thriveon to any business seeking to enhance their IT infrastructure and capabilities.

Angel C. Mason

Director of Resources, Special Operations Warrior Foundation

Thriveon truly focuses on the customer service side of the business. They impress us often with their support. And Thriveon is the first IT company that we found would prevent problems before they happen, rather than react to them after they happened.

GM, Kozy Heat Fireplaces

Thriveon has been working with us and guiding us along the way…We enjoy having more than a client-vendor relationship. We view it as a partnership. We rely on Thriveon heavily, and they’ve always been there for us. Their support for us has been unwavering.

I have to say that in the course of our relationship, I have always felt that we were in good hands. I sensed a competency and a capacity we hadn’t had before from the get-go.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a Fractional CIO different from a vCIO or hiring an IT manager?

A Fractional CIO is a senior technology executive who sits at your leadership table and drives long-term strategy, budgeting and risk decisions tied to business outcomes. Where a vCIO often functions as a part-time advisor layered onto reactive support, our Fractional CIO is fully integrated into your planning, building a documented roadmap across business strategy, cybersecurity, data, applications and AI. Compared to a costly full-time IT manager who can get pulled into daily firefighting, you gain executive-level guidance and the depth of an entire team, without the full-time salary or overhead.

What size and type of business is the right fit for Thriveon?

We work best with growing and mid-size organizations, typically between 20 and 1,000 employees and up to roughly 300 computer users. Our clients generally fall between $10M and $500M in annual revenue and want high-touch, relationship-driven IT that delivers strategic results. Engagements start at a minimum of $3,600 per month. If you depend on technology to operate efficiently, strengthen security and scale with confidence, we are likely a strong fit.

What does onboarding look like, and how disruptive is it?

Switching providers should not mean disruption. Our onboarding follows a proven, structured process with an average timeline of about four weeks. We document your environment, identify gaps and risks early, and begin applying our best practices so you start seeing stability and improvement quickly. You stay informed throughout, and your team gains responsive support from day one while we build the long-term roadmap.

How does Thriveon reduce our IT costs instead of adding another bill?

We provide strategic oversight of all your technology spend, including hardware, software and services, so nothing is duplicated or wasted. By consolidating multiple vendors into one integrated partner and eliminating the recurring issues that drain time and money, you invest in the right things instead of overspending on the wrong ones. Many clients see a 20% reduction in IT costs while improving efficiency and reducing risk.

How do you keep us secure and audit-ready as compliance evolves?

Cybersecurity is woven into everything we do, not bolted on. You get a 24/7 Security Operations Center, threat detection and response, endpoint protection, encryption and disaster recovery planning, all backed by ongoing compliance readiness. We handle audit preparation, tabletop exercises, security policy creation and company-wide briefings, and we support frameworks including CMMC, NIST, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, ITAR, DFARS, FDIC and the SHIELD Act, so you stay protected as requirements change.
