About FCG
The IT that runs national chains. Sized for yours.
Three decades of doing it right for Phoenix businesses and the national brands that trust us with their rollouts.
The story
Founded in 1992. Still here. Still doing it right.
FCG started as a Phoenix-area IT shop fixing what other shops didn't. That part hasn't changed. What has changed is the scope — over three decades we've moved from one-laptop-at-a-time to running the IT for multi-site operators and national chains.
We've worked through Windows NT, Active Directory, BlackBerry, Exchange on-prem, Microsoft 365, hyperconverged infrastructure, ransomware as a business model, and now AI in the workplace. Through all of it, the basics didn't change: someone has to keep the systems running, and the people who do it well are the ones who've already lived through the failure modes.
Tenure isn't a marketing line. It's the reason we show up to a new client meeting and most of what's in their environment is something we've already supported, broken, fixed, replaced, or written a runbook for.
How we work
Operating discipline, not slogans.
These aren't values we put on a wall. They're how we run.
Recurring is recurring
Patching, monitoring, backup, helpdesk — boring on purpose. The systems that keep your business running aren't where we get creative.
Documentation isn't optional
Every environment we run has a runbook. If a tech leaves, the next one picks up exactly where they left off — your business doesn't notice.
Security is layered, not bolted on
EDR, SOC, identity, backup, segmentation. Configured to your actual risk profile, not a vendor's checklist.
AI is a tool, not a strategy
We help operators figure out where AI moves the needle and where it just makes noise. Then we keep it from becoming shadow IT.
What 30+ years teaches you
Patterns repeat. Operators don't.
After three decades you learn that most "IT problems" aren't technology problems — they're operating problems. The technology part is usually well-understood. What's hard is fitting the technology to a specific business that has its own pace, its own risk appetite, and its own definition of "good enough."
That's why FCG runs as an operator-grade MSP, not a vendor. Quarterly Technology Reviews are real conversations about the business, not slide decks. The helpdesk is staffed by people who can pattern-match across hundreds of similar environments. When we recommend a change, it's because we've seen the failure mode it prevents.
The result: clients stay. The average FCG managed-services relationship is measured in years, not months. That's the single best signal of whether an MSP is worth working with.
Phoenix roots, national reach
Local relationships. National coverage.
The recurring managed-IT book is mostly Phoenix-area small and mid-sized businesses — the operators we sit down with quarterly, the people who call the helpdesk and get someone they know.
The field services team covers the rest of the country. Multi-site rollouts, hardware staging, on-site work — anywhere a national operator needs feet on the ground. Same operating discipline, different scale.
- 10–500 seats — Phoenix-area SMBs are the recurring book of business
- National field reach — multi-site rollouts and hardware staging across all 50 states
- Compliance environments — PCI, HIPAA, NIST, CMMC
- Multi-site operators — hospitality, food service, retail, healthcare, manufacturing
