About Geek Office Solutions

Geek Office solutions has evolved from Geek Housecalls, which was started in 2001, supporting both residential and small businesses in MA, RI and NH, servicing over 20,000 families and 1000 small businesses, with a staff of 15 fulltime employees. From our beginning, many of our residential customers have asked us to also service them at their business. Based on that demand, Geek Officecalls was formed in 2005 to tailor services to meet the IT support needs of our small business customers.

In 2009, we changed the name of the Division from Geek Officecalls to Geek Office Solutions to better reflect the range and scope of our services. Our services range from responsive on-demand services, to one-time computer or network implementation projects to proactive managed support. Our premier service offering is our Virtual IT Dept. service, which is an all-inclusive maintenance plan offered at a fixed monthly cost targeted at organizations having between 5 to 100 computers. Our clients benefit by minimizing the cost and hassle involved with supporting their computers and IT infrastructure, so they can focus on managing and growing their businesses.

Geek Office Solutions offers a unique blend of local on-site and remote support, which enables us to keep in synch with your IT needs, keep you informed of the status of your projects, while also proactively handling a wide range of maintenance support activities. We have developed an excellent reputation for delivering high quality services in a timely and professional manner.
