Who We Are
Ellison IT Consulting is a 100% woman-owned managed IT, cybersecurity, and compliance practice based in Bushland, Texas. Since 2014 we have kept technology running for the businesses that hold small towns together: rural hospitals and clinics, banks, ag operations, insurance agencies, and family businesses. We work on the ground across Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, and with businesses nationwide, remotely.
Who You Work With: Kyle Ellison
Kyle Ellison is the consultant you work with at Ellison IT Consulting.
He grew up on a ranch, where you learn to fix what breaks because nobody else is coming to do it, and he has been fixing technology problems since he was a kid. He studied Computer Information Systems with a minor in business, learned to program in COBOL, Visual Basic, and C++, and then moved into sales and technical consulting, earning his Cisco certifications and doing Microsoft work along the way.
Before the practice began in 2014, Kyle spent 13 years with Lanier Worldwide and Ricoh Business Solutions. Today he works directly with clients on security risk assessments, HIPAA and Meaningful Use, hosted phone and internet, Microsoft 365, and managed IT. Every project gets his direct involvement, not a team of junior staff.
Four Dates Behind How Kyle Works
These are the dates Kyle does not forget. None of them is about technology, and all of them are why he pushes clients to plan for the bad day before it arrives.
- Kyle lost his mother. He was 18.
- Kyle lost his father.
- Kyle had a cardiac event.
- The barn that housed his daughters’ show pigs burned. They rebuilt it.
That is why the work here comes down to the same things every time: a written plan for when something goes wrong, backups you have actually tested restoring, and a provider who answers the phone.
