Complete IT expertise, all under one roof.
Cascadia Technology Advisors provides managed IT services and project work for small and midsize businesses across the Portland metro: accounting firms, manufacturers, professional service companies, distributors, contractors, and multi-location businesses. We work across Microsoft 365, servers, virtualization, networking, VoIP and phone systems, backups, cybersecurity, and AI, so nothing gets left behind between vendors.
Every layer, considered.
The systems your business runs on need someone thinking about them before they break, not just after.
Two ways to work together.
Some businesses need a steady hand on their technology week to week. Others need a specific project done right. CTA does both, and it is common to start with one and grow into the other.
IT that is handled, so you can stop thinking about it.
Day to day, technology creates a steady stream of small things: a workstation acting up, a user who needs access, a printer that will not cooperate, a question about whether something is safe to click. On their own they are minor. Left unmanaged, they pile up and quietly slow your whole team down.
I handle that stream for you. You get a responsive point of contact who already knows your environment, so problems get solved quickly and nothing falls through the cracks. Over time I also keep an eye on the bigger picture, flagging the things that are worth addressing before they become emergencies.
- Help desk and troubleshooting for the issues your team runs into
- User setup, offboarding, and access management
- Server, network, and workstation monitoring and upkeep
- Backup and recovery you can actually count on
- Security hygiene and patching
- A technology partner who knows your business and picks up the phone
A specific job, done right the first time.
Sometimes you do not need ongoing help, you need one important thing done well. These are the projects where experience matters, because the cost of getting them wrong shows up long after the work is finished.
Whether it is a move, an upgrade, or a modernization you have been putting off, I plan it properly, communicate clearly along the way, and make sure it lands without surprises or downtime you did not agree to.
- Office moves and new location setups
- Server upgrades, migrations, and replacements
- Software rollouts and major version upgrades
- Network and Wi-Fi design and upgrades
- Microsoft 365 and cloud migrations
- Backup and disaster recovery implementation
- Technology assessments and planning for growth
Email, files, network, phones, backups. These are the systems your team touches every day. Each one below is something I plan, support, and keep ready for where your business is headed.
Microsoft 365, Azure, and Server
As a Microsoft Partner, I support the full Microsoft suite for small and midsize businesses: Microsoft 365, Azure, Exchange, SharePoint, and Windows Server. I have managed environments from Server 2003 through Server 2025, and every version of Exchange in between.

Business IT support across the Portland metro.
Cascadia Technology Advisors is based in Sherwood, Oregon and works with small and midsize businesses across the Portland metro. Local means on-site help is a short drive, not an all-day event.
Business IT support in Sherwood
CTA is headquartered in Sherwood, Oregon and is a member of the Sherwood Area Chamber of Commerce. Sherwood businesses get our fastest response times and on-site help the same day when it is needed.
Business IT support in Tigard
Cascadia Technology Advisors provides IT support to Tigard businesses along 99W and the Bridgeport corridor. Common work includes managed IT, Microsoft 365 administration, business phone systems, and network support, with on-site help available whenever remote is not enough.

Business IT support in Newberg
Cascadia Technology Advisors supports Newberg businesses across wine country professional services and Yamhill County manufacturing. Kyle worked with businesses across this area for years before founding CTA, so the region is familiar territory.
Business IT support in Beaverton
Beaverton small and midsize businesses in and around the Silicon Forest work with CTA for Microsoft-centric infrastructure, Azure and Entra identity, secure remote work, and the kind of hands-on local partner larger MSPs do not offer.
Lake Oswego, West Linn, Hillsboro, McMinnville, Canby, Forest Grove, Gresham, Portland, and Vancouver WA. If your business is in the Portland metro or the north Willamette Valley and you need a responsive local IT partner, CTA is probably a fit. Remote support is available nationwide.
Built for businesses that run on technology.
Most CTA clients have between 10 and 100 employees and depend on technology every day. If you have outgrown break-fix support but do not need a full-time IT department, this is probably a fit.
