Why Peppertree Technology Solutions Exists

Technology should help your business move forward—not create more risk, complexity, or uncertainty.

Peppertree Technology Solutions was founded on a simple belief: businesses deserve an IT partner who understands their organization, protects what they have built, and helps them make smart technology decisions for the future.

Our roots are in engineering and long-standing client relationships. Founder Mike Bartholomew brings more than 36 years of IT industry experience, and Peppertree was formed after clients who had experienced that level of service encouraged the team to build something different—an IT company centered on trust, accountability, technical expertise, and genuine partnership.

We understood what businesses were looking for:

  • An IT partner who knows their environment and their people—not a revolving door of technicians.
  • Proactive guidance that addresses risks and aging technology before they become costly problems.
  • Strong, layered cybersecurity designed to protect their business, employees, systems, and data.
  • Reliable backup and business continuity planning so they are better prepared when something goes wrong.
  • Technology recommendations that support their business goals, budget, and future growth—not unnecessary sales.
  • Clear communication and experienced professionals they can rely on when they need help.

Today, Peppertree Technology Solutions helps small and mid-sized organizations across California keep their technology secure, reliable, and working for their business. Through proactive IT management, cybersecurity, infrastructure support, backup and business continuity, and strategic technology guidance, we help our clients reduce risk, improve productivity, and plan confidently for what comes next.

We have grown to serve more than 90 clients, largely through referrals and long-term relationships. That growth reflects the principle Peppertree was built on:

Earn our clients’ trust by doing good work, communicating clearly, being accountable, and treating their business as if it matters—because it does.

Our purpose isn’t simply to fix technology when something breaks.

It’s to be the trusted technology partner our clients can count on today and as their business grows.
