Our Mission

At Encompass IT Solutions, our mission is to empower small and mid-sized businesses with reliable, secure, and efficient technology solutions that minimize downtime and maximize productivity.

 

We serve as a true IT partner—proactively managing, securing, and supporting your infrastructure so you can focus on growing your business.

Our Story

Encompass IT Solutions was formed in July 2017 when Computer Port USA Inc. of South Windsor, Connecticut, merged with our Manchester-based team. This merger brought together deep expertise in enterprise-grade cybersecurity and IT support services, creating a stronger foundation to serve businesses throughout New England.

​

Since then, we’ve been proudly supporting local businesses across Connecticut and Massachusetts, delivering reliable, forward-thinking IT solutions across a wide range of industries. Backed by a team of expert IT professionals, we remain committed to helping organizations stay secure, efficient, and ready for what’s next.
