Let's Build Something That Works

We focus on environments where failure is not an option: transportation authorities, healthcare systems, utilities, higher education, state and local government, and Fortune 500 multi-site enterprises. Our engineers have deep operational experience in regulated and mission-critical environments, and every architecture we design accounts for compliance, uptime, and scalability requirements specific to your sector.

BlackHawk Data operates across four integrated pillars: Intelligent Networking (campus, wireless, SD-WAN, OT/IoT), Cybersecurity & Zero Trust (Fortinet Security Fabric, Cloudflare Zero Trust, 24x7 SOC), Modern Datacenter & Cloud (compute, storage, hybrid cloud, backup/DR), and Unified Collaboration (voice, video, contact center, analytics). This cross-domain expertise means one partner, one architecture, and zero gaps between domains.

No. We believe in earning your business every quarter, not locking you in. Engagements can start with a single assessment or pilot project. Our managed services agreements are flexible and aligned to business outcomes — if we are not delivering value, you are free to make a change. That said, most clients expand their engagement over time because the results speak for themselves.

Our complimentary assessment includes a deep-dive discovery session with a solutions architect, a review of your current environment (network topology, security posture, cloud readiness, or collaboration stack depending on scope), identification of gaps and risks, and a clear executive summary with prioritized recommendations. There is no obligation — the goal is to give you actionable insights whether you engage us or not.

Speed depends on scope, but we are built for velocity. Cloudflare Zero Trust deployments can go live in days. Network refreshes for 40+ site environments typically take 8-12 weeks. Our pre-validated architecture templates and dedicated project management ensure deployments stay on time and on budget. Emergency and expedited timelines are available for critical situations.

Absolutely. A significant portion of our managed services clients came to us with existing environments built by other integrators. We perform a thorough environment discovery, document the as-built state, remediate any immediate risks, and then onboard the environment into our 24x7 NOC/SOC operations. We take ownership regardless of who built it.

Most MSPs monitor and escalate. We architect, deploy, and operate. The same senior engineers who design your solution are the ones who deploy it and support it 24x7. We own the outcome across all four technology pillars — networking, security, datacenter, and collaboration — so there are no gaps, no finger-pointing, and no vendor blame games. We are a lifecycle partner, not a ticket queue.

Yes. We offer flexible consumption models including Hardware-as-a-Service, Network-as-a-Service, and Security-as-a-Service that convert large capital expenditures into predictable monthly operating expenses. Combined with lifecycle-aligned refresh planning, this approach makes modernization financially sustainable and eliminates the pain of large one-time procurement cycles.
