Here's how we deliver award-winning managed IT support
President, Dave Monahan founded Smart Dolphins on May 1st, 2000. In the early years, Smart Dolphins offered a very broad range of IT products and services.
Fast-forward to today and Smart Dolphins' service offering has now completely evolved into that of a Managed IT Service Provider.
Over the last two decades, we've been helping small and mid-size organizations drive efficiency and productivity by ensuring that their systems are fast, secure and reliable. During this time, we've fine-tuned a very special process of auditing and aligning our clients with world-class standards and best practices.

What our clients say about us
Ian Bird was able to help me out this morning in record time with a small IT issue, perhaps the best service I have received from Smart Dolphins!
Jon F.
Smart Dolphin has been an exceptional IT partner for Cascadia Architects. Their proactive approach to managing our technology environment has given our team the confidence and stability to focus on what we do best, while also creating space for us to adopt and optimize new tools that support our growth. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and consistently ahead of issues before they become problems. Working with Smart Dolphin feels less like working with a vendor and more like having a trusted extension of our team.
