Reliable, proactive IT management for Davis businesses — the university town where UC Davis research spins out into ag-biotech and startups. Technology that just keeps running, so you can stay focused on the work.
Davis runs on research and the businesses that grow out of it — the ag-biotech startups, the clinics, and the professional offices clustered around UC Davis and downtown. For all of them, a frozen workstation, a down server, or a stalled lab system isn’t a nuisance; it’s lost grant time, idle staff, and exposed data. IT Pro Source brings more than two decades of managed IT, cybersecurity, and Microsoft 365 support to businesses across Yolo County, with on-site help when a remote fix isn’t enough. We also serve nearby Woodland, West Sacramento, Dixon, and Vacaville. Working with a Sacramento-region IT team means faster answers and security built around how your business actually operates — not a script.
Davis is part of our Sacramento region IT service coverage.
Businesses pick IT Pro Source for one reason above the rest: we behave like the IT department you’d hire if you ran one in-house, not a break-fix shop you only phone after something has already gone down. We learn how your operation actually runs, take ownership of the technology that keeps it moving, and put one accountable team behind your helpdesk, your cybersecurity, and the planning that decides what comes next. For the operations that keep Davis running, that means a flat, predictable cost instead of surprise invoices, someone who answers when you call, and a partner who treats your uptime as seriously as you do.
We’ve delivered managed IT across the Sacramento region since 2001, and we’re honest about the model: there’s no storefront with our name on it on G Street. What there is instead is a regional team that dispatches a technician on-site when a remote fix won’t cut it, backed by steady monitoring, a helpdesk that actually picks up, and IT planning shaped around how a research-driven, fast-moving business really works week to week.
The emphasis is on prevention rather than firefighting. Systems are watched around the clock, security patches and updates go out on schedule, and most issues are caught and cleared before anyone in a Davis office or lab ever notices something was wrong. That’s the difference between an IT partner who keeps the day moving and a vendor who shows up only after it’s already stopped.
Managed IT built for how Davis actually works — from research labs and ag-biotech startups to downtown clinics and professional offices
One team watching your whole IT environment, so a locked-up workstation or a printer that quits before a grant deadline doesn’t stall the day. We cover the routine helpdesk tickets and the gnarly infrastructure problems alike, keeping Davis staff working instead of waiting on a callback.
Research data and unpublished IP are exactly what attackers go after — and a Davis biotech startup or clinic is as much a target as a big lab. We layer the defenses: endpoint protection, email and phishing filtering, dark-web credential monitoring, and training that helps your team spot the fake invoice before anyone clicks.
Email, files, and Teams that follow your people from a downtown office to the campus, a partner site, or home — that’s where Microsoft 365 earns its keep in a town built on collaboration. We handle the setup, the migration off aging on-site servers, and the hybrid in-between, so Davis organizations get the flexibility without handing over security or control.
A lab moving large datasets has different network demands than a downtown professional suite, and we build for both. Wired and wireless that’s fast and locked down, firewalls that hold, and coverage that stretches across the whole footprint as your Davis operation grows.
Lose a server holding years of research or client records and the question isn’t whether you have a backup — it’s how fast you’re back online. We keep encrypted copies both on-site and in the cloud, rehearse the restore so it actually works under pressure, and build it ransomware-resilient so an attack can’t take your recovery down with it.
A Davis clinic answers to HIPAA, a startup chasing federal research dollars faces CMMC, and anyone taking card payments has PCI to satisfy. We help you map those requirements to real controls, then act as your virtual CIO — the technology roadmap, the budget, the audit prep — so IT decisions track with where the business is headed.
Managed IT has been our business since 2001, and much of that work has been solving Sacramento-region problems — hybrid teams, multi-site operations, and the security demands that come with research-driven businesses.
We’re a regional team, not a Davis storefront — but our technicians dispatch into Davis and across Yolo County, so when a problem needs hands on the hardware, someone is on the way.
Round-the-clock monitoring means we’re usually clearing the problem before your team feels it. Catching a failing drive or a missed patch early is far cheaper than recovering from the outage it would have caused mid-project.
Budget without bracing for surprise invoices. Plans are billed per user per month, which gives a Davis business a full IT department’s worth of coverage for a flat, plannable number — well under the cost of staffing that in-house.
Straight answers to what Davis owners and office managers ask before bringing on an IT partner
Protection works in layers, not as a single product. For a Davis research lab, ag-biotech startup, or downtown office that means managed endpoint detection and response (EDR) on every device, email filtering and anti-phishing to shut down the fake-invoice and credential-harvesting attempts that target university-town businesses, dark-web monitoring for leaked logins, DNS-level blocking of malicious sites, and ongoing training so staff spot a scam before they click. We also run regular vulnerability checks and keep an incident response plan ready — because the intellectual property coming out of Davis is exactly what attackers want.
Yes — and in a university town that is the norm, with people splitting time between a Davis office, the campus, a partner site, and home. We set up secure remote access, cloud collaboration through Microsoft 365, and central management of every laptop and device, so a researcher logging in from a field station gets the same protection as someone at the front desk. The 24/7 helpdesk is the same line no matter where anyone is working from.
Two things, mostly. First, we prevent instead of react — around-the-clock monitoring catches most problems before they reach your team. Second, the relationship is predictable: flat per-user pricing with no surprise invoices, on-site dispatch into Davis and Yolo County when you need hands on the equipment, and a team that operates as your actual IT department rather than a number you call once something is already down. We have run managed IT for businesses across the Sacramento region since 2001.
The helpdesk runs 24/7, so a server alert at 6 a.m. or a problem on a weekend still reaches a real technician. Critical issues hit our escalation path for fast response, and most remote problems are resolved in minutes. When something needs a person on-site, we dispatch a technician into Davis and the surrounding Yolo County communities — Woodland, West Sacramento, Dixon, and the wider Sacramento area.
