The North Bay's long-game technology partner - managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud, and winery software, from one team in Santa Rosa.
In 1980, when most offices had never seen a keyboard, a small firm in Santa Rosa placed a bet that computers would become the backbone of ordinary business. Forty-five years later, KLH Consulting is still here - and still doing the quiet, essential work of making sure the systems its clients depend on simply keep running.
KLH Consulting is a full-service IT firm serving small and mid-sized organizations across Sonoma County and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Its offering spans four broad areas: managed IT services, cybersecurity and compliance, cloud computing, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) built on Microsoft Dynamics. The through-line is a promise the company repeats often - "One call. One team. One solution." - a pitch aimed squarely at businesses tired of juggling separate vendors for their network, their phones, their servers, and their software.
That single-source model is the company's organizing idea. Rather than sell a slice of a client's technology stack, KLH aims to own the whole relationship: the help desk that answers when something breaks, the engineers who design the network, the security team that watches for threats, and the ERP consultants who make the accounting and inventory systems work. For a company running a winery or a medical office, the appeal is straightforward - one number to call, one team that already knows the environment.
A mission stated plainly
The firm's stated purpose is unadorned: "To provide the highest quality IT solutions to enable your business to thrive." There is no talk of disruption. KLH's culture leans instead on hiring certified, senior talent and keeping those certifications current across Microsoft, VMware, Citrix, HP, and Avaya - the vendors whose products sit inside its clients' server rooms.

KLH's flagship managed-services bundle: 24/7 network monitoring, patching, help desk support, offsite encrypted backups, and anti-malware/anti-spam protection. Outsource all - or part - of the network.
Enhanced security for breach prevention, threat mitigation, and incident response - aligned to PCI, HIPAA, and SOX requirements for regulated clients.
An enterprise winery suite on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central covering finance, inventory, winemaking, compliance reporting, wholesale, and direct-to-consumer sales - cloud or on-premise.
Implementation, customization, and support of Dynamics 365 Business Central and NAV as a Microsoft Certified Partner.
Cloud migration, hybrid cloud management, and HIPAA-compliant hosting for organizations that need compliance built into the infrastructure.
Strategic planning, network design, IT assessments, and virtual-CIO account management for clients without an in-house tech leader.
The most distinctive thing about KLH is not that it manages networks - plenty of firms do. It is that, headquartered in the middle of California wine country, the company built its own ERP for the wineries in its backyard.
Vintegrate runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central but speaks the language of winemaking. Its back-office module handles finance, inventory, purchasing, wholesale, and compliance reporting; its winemaking module tracks production, meets regulatory standards, and - notably - calculates the real-time cost of bulk and finished wine, a metric generic ERP systems have never been designed to understand. It runs on-premise or in the cloud, and reaches from the cellar to the tasting room's direct-to-consumer sales.
KLH's customers are small and mid-sized businesses that can't staff a full IT department but still face enterprise-grade risks. Two verticals stand out: wineries - served nationwide through Vintegrate - and healthcare and other compliance-driven organizations that need HIPAA-ready hosting and audited backups.
In a market crowded with national managed service providers and global Dynamics partners, KLH competes on the things scale can't fake: proximity, tenure, and a genuine specialty. Its rivals range from generic MSPs and security firms to wine-specific software vendors like InnoVint, Vinsight, and VinSuite. Against the giants, KLH's edge is that it knows the client's building, the client's name, and - in wine country - the client's harvest.
