About Frequency42
IT support that makes sense for small and medium businesses
Who We Are
Frequency42 is an IT consulting firm serving small and medium businesses across the Midwest. We provide the same level of IT support that large corporations have—monitoring, security, cloud systems, and help desk—but at a scale and price that works for smaller companies.
We started because we saw a gap in the market. Big IT companies only want enterprise clients. Solo consultants get overwhelmed as your business grows. We're the middle ground: professional enough to handle complex systems, but small enough to actually know your name and understand your business.
Our Approach
Technology should help your business run better, not create new problems. We focus on three things:
- Prevention over reaction. We monitor systems 24/7 and fix problems before they cause downtime.
- Clear communication. No jargon. We explain things in plain language and make recommendations that actually make sense for your budget and needs.
- Fast response. When something breaks, we're on it. 1-2 hour response times for critical issues, period.
What We Believe
Honest Advice
We'll tell you what you actually need, not what makes us the most money. Sometimes the answer is "you don't need that yet" or "there's a cheaper way to do this."
No Jargon
We speak plain language. If we can't explain it simply, we don't understand it well enough ourselves.
Proactive Support
The best IT support is the kind you don't notice. We catch and fix problems before they disrupt your workday.
Local Service
We're based in the Midwest and we understand businesses here. You're not calling an overseas helpdesk—you're calling us.
What Makes Us Different
We Actually Answer the Phone
Call us during business hours and a real person answers—usually on the second or third ring. No phone trees, no offshore call centers. Just someone who can actually help you.
Flat-Rate Pricing
You know exactly what you're paying each month. No surprise bills, no nickel-and-diming for every little thing. One predictable monthly rate.
We Know Your Systems
Because we manage your systems, we already know your setup when you call. No explaining your network from scratch every time something goes wrong.
Industry Experience
We've worked with manufacturers, retailers, medical offices, law firms, and more. We understand the specific IT challenges different industries face.
