Responsive by design.

We’re just as particular about the details: every change is documented, every ticket is followed through to the finish, and our co-founders, Kevin Nichols and Joe Kemp, are personally accountable for your experience.

IT support for Dana Point’s harbor and resorts

Dana Point’s economy centers on its harbor, oceanfront resorts and hotels, restaurants, marine and charter businesses, and the shops and offices of the town center. Hospitality businesses here run around the clock and depend on guest Wi-Fi, reservation and point-of-sale systems that must work every day, including weekends and holidays.

Dana Point Harbor’s rebuild and the businesses around it

Dana Point Harbor is in the middle of a multi-year revitalization valued at about $600 million. Work on the landside parking structure began in 2024, the Coastal Commission approved plans to replace the Marina Inn with two new hotels, and harbor restaurants and shops have had to work around construction on the commercial core. The Catalina Express has kept sailing to Avalon from the harbor throughout.

A rebuild like that tests technology before anything else. A business that moves into temporary space, or reopens in a new building, needs its phone numbers to follow it, card readers that work on the first day and an internet circuit ordered weeks before the doors open. We plan those moves with you, line up interim connectivity and keep your phones on a managed cloud system, so customers reach you the same way wherever you are.

Away from the water, the city has two other business faces. Monarch Beach is home to two large luxury resorts, and the caterers, event companies and contractors that serve them run on tight schedules. In Lantern Village, the historic core whose streets are named for colored ship lanterns, small offices and shops need networks that are simple and watched around the clock. All of it is about 22 miles from our office, down Pacific Coast Highway and the 5.
