About
A practice built on direct ownership.
IT goes wrong when nobody truly owns it. Near Earth Orbit exists so small businesses have one person who knows their systems, answers for them, and picks up the phone.
01
Own the outcome
If NEO runs it, NEO answers for it. No finger-pointing at vendors or tools.
02
Say the true thing
Plain answers about risk, cost, and fit. Including when the honest answer is that you don't need something.
03
Document everything
Your environment is written down, current, and yours, so you're never held hostage by tribal knowledge.
04
Build to the highest bar
Compliance-grade discipline for every client, so a new requirement is an adjustment, not a rebuild.
Why this practice exists
The engineer you talk to is the engineer who does the work.
The practice stays founder-led on purpose. No handoffs, no account managers, no re-explaining your setup to a stranger every time you call. The person who answers is the person who knows your environment.
Part of NEO's practice is preparing businesses for some of the strictest compliance frameworks in the country. That work sets the bar for everything else: every client gets infrastructure built to the same standard, whether their industry demands it or not.

Why buyers reach out
The situations that bring people here.
The IT guy disappeared
The person who set everything up moved on, and nobody knows the passwords, the licenses, or what that server in the closet does.
The big provider stopped caring
Tickets vanish into a queue, every call reaches someone new, and the bill grows while the service shrinks.
A requirement showed up
A client, a contract, or a regulator now expects proof your systems are secure, and the current setup can't produce it.
