Sannidhi provides IT services for small businesses in Santa Cruz County, for the software a business runs on and the records inside it: setting programs up and cleaning them up, connecting them, moving to new software, managing accounts and logins, and keeping it all running.

What IT services does Sannidhi provide?
| Service | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Software setup and cleanup | Finishing the setup of the programs you already pay for: Jane, Acuity Scheduling, Jobber, LMN, Rentvine, QuickBooks Online and others. Duplicates merged. Settings nobody ever switched on, switched on. |
| Connecting your programs | Your programs share what they hold, so a customer or an invoice is typed in once. |
| Moving to new software | Data migration from the old system to the new one, with both running until every record is checked. |
| Business email and calendars | Email and calendars on your own domain, set up so they belong to the business. |
| Accounts and logins | Who can sign in to what, with two-step sign-in, and every login removed when someone leaves. |
| Your listings and website | Your Google Business Profile and website kept accurate, and matching each other. |
| Kept running | The software the work depends on is watched, and what goes wrong with it is fixed. A report arrives every Monday. |
What is outside Sannidhi's IT work?
Hardware and networks. A laptop that will not start belongs to a managed IT company, and so do the wifi, the printer and watching a network for attacks. Managed IT support is most often priced at $100 to $200 a month for each person on your staff. A business can use both: one company for the machines, and Sannidhi for the software and records on them.
What small businesses pay for outside IT help
What should a technology consultant for a small business do first?
Read your records before recommending anything. A technology consultant who starts with a product demo is selling the product. Sannidhi starts with a Business Analysis built from your own appointments, invoices and customer records, and it can reach three answers: build something new, fix what you already own, or change nothing for now. Most often it is the second.
That analysis is usually a paid engagement priced in the thousands. Sannidhi's first one is free, and it is yours to keep whether or not you go further.

How is your information kept safe?
Before Sannidhi reads any record, you sign a data handling agreement. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
- Sannidhi uses its own login wherever a program allows one, and a read only login where the program offers it.
- Every login uses two-step sign-in and is kept in a password manager, never in a document or an email.
- Sannidhi never logs in to a bank and cannot move money.
- Your information is used for your business only. It is never sold, never used for another client, and never used to train any AI.
- If something goes wrong, you are told in writing within 24 hours.
