What We Do

IT is the undercurrent of the business world. It’s how companies onboard employees, support collaboration, protect security and serve customers. Businesses run better when company devices, networks, and applications work like a dream.

But most IT services were built for a different time, when hybrid and remote work weren’t the norm — and security risks weren’t quite as high as they are today. Very few companies have the tools they need to get ahead of this trend. Many traditional managed service providers (MSPs) aren’t prepared to adapt to our new world of hybrid work, either.

Electric is reinventing how businesses manage their IT. Providing real-time IT support to over 50,000 users and centralized IT management to over 900 customers, Electric offers companies a 50% reduction in IT spend and standardized security across devices, apps, and networks, whether you're on-site or remote.

Why Work With Us

Electric is a software company. We’re also a team, a community, and a social impact organization. We are proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination. We strongly believe that hiring with diversity of experience, perspectives, and background in mind will help us build the workforce that we want to see in the world.
