Managed IT for upstate New York since 1999
Kishmish helps organizations across Upstate NY and beyond simplify technology and strengthen connections. For over 25 years our focus has stayed the same: technology that works, so our partners can move forward with confidence.
From web pioneers to managed IT partner.
Kishmish started in 1999 building web technology for businesses. After the dot-com crash we moved into nuts-and-bolts IT service, and in 2006 we pioneered managed IT service in the Syracuse region.
Today we run the IT behind our partners: help desk, monitoring and maintenance, security, backups, cloud, network and phones. When the business needs a website or custom software, the same people can build it, host it and keep it running.
Partners first, with a personal touch
