Capital Network Solutions, Inc. (CNS)

Overview

About

Capital Network Solutions, Inc., known as CNS, is a Sacramento-area managed IT services company founded in 1989 with what its site describes as a simple mission: helping businesses use technology more effectively. The firm is headquartered in Folsom, California, with its headquarters and core help desk in Sacramento, and its listed address is 8950 Cal Center Drive, Suite 341, Sacramento, CA 95826. It employs 11 to 50 people and is led by CEO Don Thompson. For more than 35 years the company has supported small and midsize businesses across Northern California, counting hundreds of organizations as clients, with named strengths in accounting and CPA firms, construction companies, property management, and professional services. Its tagline, "Delivering secure, reliable IT services since 1989," is the whole pitch in one line: longevity as proof of reliability. The firm describes its coverage as nationwide service with local-level attention, dispatching on-site technicians when a problem needs hands in the room, and it positions itself directly against ticket-chasing competitors with the statement that it does not just fix tickets but partners with clients to plan IT strategically. The service catalog starts with managed IT services and cybersecurity services backed by 24/7 monitoring, then extends into Microsoft cloud services covering Microsoft 365 and Azure, compliance services for regulated clients, and professional IT services for projects and planning. Unusually for an MSP, CNS also operates a digital marketing line covering SEO, paid advertising, and social media, so a client can get both its infrastructure and its web presence from one vendor. Microsoft is the anchor partner: the firm is a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security and a Certified Microsoft Partner, and its partner list also includes SonicWall, HPE, Citrix, Sophos, and VMware. Pricing is described as clear, with no surprise fees. The sales line is (916) 866-9969, with 24/7 support at (916) 366-6566. The digital marketing line deserves a second look because it is rare among MSPs. Alongside infrastructure and security, CNS offers SEO, paid advertising, and social media management, which means a construction firm or CPA office can consolidate two vendor relationships into one. The compliance services pair with the 24/7 monitoring to serve the accounting and financial clients that face audit pressure, and the professional IT services line handles the planning and project work that does not fit a monthly contract. With the sales line at (916) 866-9969 and round-the-clock support at (916) 366-6566, the firm keeps human contact points for both new business and emergencies.
