VC3

Established in 1994, VC3 operates as a managed IT and cybersecurity services provider headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina. The firm primarily serves municipalities and small-to-mid-market businesses across North America, with a client base that includes over 1,100 municipalities and more than 1,000 businesses. VC3's business model is centered on forming long-term partnerships with organizations to manage their technology infrastructure and cybersecurity risks. Revenue is generated by providing a comprehensive suite of IT solutions.

The company's offerings are structured around three pillars: Manage, Protect, and Accelerate. The 'Manage' services include 24/7 helpdesk support, co-managed IT for organizations with internal IT teams, and managed cloud and VoIP services. Under 'Protect,' VC3 delivers managed security services, data backup and disaster recovery, and compliance services, including assistance with CMMC and HIPAA regulations. The 'Accelerate' pillar focuses on enhancing efficiency through tools like SharePoint and Power BI, as well as offering custom web and application development.

VC3 has pursued an aggressive growth strategy through acquisitions. Since 2019, the company has acquired multiple IT service providers across the United States and Canada, expanding its geographic footprint into regions like the Midwest, California, and New England. This includes the 2022 merger with Canadian firm CompuVision, a key event that broadened its North American presence. Ryan Vestby, who joined VC3 through the CompuVision merger, became CEO in February 2023. Vestby started with CompuVision at age 21 and was integral to its growth before taking the helm at VC3. Sandy Reeser, who had been CEO since 2017, transitioned to Chairman of the Board.
