Here at Architel we like to think that we pioneered the idea of flat-fee, all-you-can-eat IT support for small business. We are always on the look out for other companies who have similar models. This week we ran across a company called TechAssist based in Washington DC that looked interesting.

We found them after doing a Google search. They advertise using AdWords (we don’t anymore) and their ad suggests they offer “Unlimited IT Support for a Fixed Fee” as seen below:

After doing a little digging we learned that the company was launched in 2003, has 15 employees and is owned by Nick Vossburg (27 years old). Turns out he likes playing Texas Hold’em too! Their model seems very similar to our own including an initial assessment, plan, support and periodic review ~ all for one monthly fee. Great to see our model taking hold outside of Dallas (good thing not too many folks here in Dallas understand).
