The Name

Akritos means confused.

From the Ancient Greek akritos— confused, undecided, indiscriminate. When we asked AI what it meant, it gave us the opposite: “precise, exact.” We liked the sound of it and ran with the name. Then we looked it up ourselves.

Turns out the real meaning was better. Because that's exactly what our clients are before they find us — confused, locked in, overwhelmed, dependent on vendors who profit from that confusion.Akritosisn't what we are. It's what we fix.

What We Do

Technology consulting that leaves you independent

Every service we offer is designed with one goal: you own it, you control it, you can walk away from any vendor — including us.

Apple Business & MDM

Apple Business setup, the right MDM for your team — Mosyle, Jamf, Kandji — chosen for fit, not kickbacks. We don't take partnership revenue. Your stack, your choice.

Infrastructure & Networking

Wi-Fi that works, switches that don't bottleneck, networks that scale. We plan the architecture, spec the hardware, and coordinate the installers. For ongoing management, we vet and onboard trusted partners.

Data Migration

Trapped in a system that doesn't work? We get your data out — clean exports, format conversions, zero data loss. No vendor holding you hostage.

Google Workspace & Email

Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, DNS, email — set up correctly from day one. You own the domain, you own the accounts, you have the keys.

Ongoing IT Partnership

Technology leadership without the six-figure salary. We handle architecture decisions, vendor negotiations, and the projects that need senior experience. Your team handles the day-to-day.

Vendor Management

Are you overpaying? Locked into a bad contract? We audit your vendor stack, negotiate better rates, and make sure you can walk away when you need to.

“We don't profit from your confusion. We profit when you don't need us anymore.”

How We Work

These aren't marketing words

They're the rules we make every decision by. We publish them because you should be able to hold us to them.

You own your technology

No lock-in. Ever. If we disappeared tomorrow, you'd still have everything. Your domains, your accounts, your infrastructure — yours.

We tell you the truth

If you're about to make a bad decision, we'll say so. We'd rather lose the engagement than let you walk into something you'll regret.

Everything is divorceable

Every vendor we recommend, every tool we deploy, every partnership we build — you can walk away from any of it, including us. That's the point.

The P is Partner

We're not a managed service provider. We're a managed service partner. Providers extract value. Partners create it. The distinction matters to us.

Day One

What you get before you pay a dime

Your first consultation is free. Here's what you walk away with — even if you never hire us.

Honest assessment

What's working, what's broken, and what's costing you money. No sugarcoating.

Clear plan with real numbers

Exactly what needs to happen, in what order, and what it costs. Our rate and vendor costs, separated.

Vendor audit

Are you overpaying? Are you locked in? We'll tell you what your current vendors are actually charging vs. market rate.

Risk snapshot

Security gaps, single points of failure, vendor lock-in. The things that keep you up at night — or should.

No obligation

Take the plan and do it yourself, hire someone else, or hire us. No guilt, no pressure, no follow-up sales calls.

Written summary

Everything we discussed, documented and emailed to you. Not a sales deck — a working document you can act on.

Fair Pricing

Published rates. No surprises.

We believe you should know what something costs before you commit. Our rates are public, our invoices are clear, and we don't bill for problems we created.
