We knew there had to be a better way… so we built it ourselves.   As our vision grew, so did our party. Tech nerds we knew from the U.S. Department of Defense, the game industry, and beyond, all bringing serious, cutting-edge skills to the table and building this alongside us every day. ![Steve and Ken](https://shepherdtech.se/hubfs/Steve%20and%20Ken.svg "Steve and Ken") Then we asked ourselves: What do we actually dislike about the present tech systems? ![Pain Points Multi Card](https://shepherdtech.se/hubfs/Pain%20Points%20Multi%20Card.svg "Pain Points Multi Card") ![Pain Points Multi Card - Mobile](https://shepherdtech.se/hubfs/Pain%20Points%20Multi%20Card%20-%20Mobile.svg "Pain Points Multi Card - Mobile") ![Card - Service - ITSupport](https://shepherdtech.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Card%20-%20Service%20-%20ITSupport.png?width=192&height=430&name=Card%20-%20Service%20-%20ITSupport.png "Card - Service - ITSupport") ![Card - Service - Equipment](https://shepherdtech.se/hubfs/Card%20-%20Service%20-%20Equipment.png "Card - Service - Equipment") ![Card - Service - MSA](https://shepherdtech.se/hubfs/Card%20-%20Service%20-%20MSA.png "Card - Service - MSA") ![Orange Twinkle](https://shepherdtech.se/hubfs/Orange%20Twinkle.svg)  Then we worked on:  ## How can we make the benefits of a full IT department accessible to the little guys? Not just the massive corporations.    For our team's journey to begin and move forward, we knew it had to be sustainable. ShepherdTech is the result of that mission, a team of tech-lovers from diverse backgrounds who want to make IT more human, more sustainable, and more accessible.
