Services
We serve large and small businesses, nonprofits, and individuals across North Carolina. When a new client contacts MacVantage, we first work to understand their needs and long-term goals. When we have a good idea of what they want to accomplish, we create a plan to move them forward. With a clear plan in place, we can set up the hardware and software that will enable our clients to meet their goals and get the most return on their investment. Working together with clients as partners, we help them discover new ways to use their technology to save time, reduce costs, and stay secure.
Since we are often working in the field, please schedule an appointment to visit our main office. What should you look for in an IT company? We think it should be one that will always treat you well, keep you fully informed, and help you get the most from your investment. Whether you just need help troubleshooting a particular issue or you want the support of your own "IT Department", MacVantage is your total technology partner.
You didn't go into business just to spend your time maintaining technology. We help you work smarter, be more productive, and protect your investment. We free you up to invest your time in what you are most passionate about: serving your clients and growing your business. As members of the Apple Consultants Network who work across multiple platforms, new clients often come to us to troubleshoot a particular problem or help them set up their devices.Once they see the value we bring to their business and the time we help them save, that first request often quickly transforms into a long-term partnership.
Technology keeps you connected. It helps you stay organized and saves you time. But when things don't work like they should, it can also cause a lot of frustration. And while technology gives you access to the world, it also gives the world access to you. Having the right security and the tools to backup your digital life is essential.

MacVantage is wonderful. I have worked with Phil for over a decade. He is great at communicating to the non-computer person, and he has a great sense about how much to tell you and how much to suggest based on what you state your goals to be. I have never felt overcharged for his time, and he is always available when needed.even in a crisis moment.

MacVantage became my IT consultants more than a decade ago after I was introduced to Phil at a class at the Apple Store. Phil helped me implement a server into my law practice. Since then, he and Bob have become instrumental in every aspect in my IT. When nothing off the self would do the job in a way that complied with regulations we must follow to serve our clients, Bob built for us a practice management system using FileMaker. MacVantage has kept us current and secure and made us a much more formidable and modern law firm than would otherwise have been possible. They have been instrumental in our success.

We were referred to MacVantage by another small business after working with a larger company that we were not happy with. We really enjoy working with Phil and MacVantage. Phil is always willing to educate you on how to fix things if you want to learn. This has been really helpful for issues that we consistently have. They have also helped us get our technology systems up to par with the size of our company and their pricing is always reasonable.

I am happy that the company I work with uses MacVantage. And Phil is the most professional IT person I have met. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. Phil and the other members of MacVantage are always ready to answer our questions. Phil responsiveness cannot be compared, and his vast knowledge with Mac products makes it a breeze to help all of us.
We can always be sure that Phil is the one to call when we need to put out "fires". I truly appreciate MacVantage for having such a great person helping the non-computer people like us.

We do not have an IT person on our staffs nd when anything comes up with computers, hard drives, or our internet, MacVantage is always there to help. Recently I needed to change out 2 laptop batteries and they came to the office replaced them got everything working and sent me follow up information to keep everything working at its peak performance. MacVantage always goes above and beyond besides just fixing the problem, they listen to what is going on and find permanent solutions and items I never thought of. We are so gratefully to have them there when ever we need anything!

I work for a small business and we've used MacVantage for the past 5-10 years. They've been a lifeline that we've needed to stay in business. Phil helped us upgrade our equipment and change our server right before the start of COVID which turned out to be instrumental in keeping the business running while allowing our employees to work remotely. They are professional, direct, top notch and will add value to your business.

I'm thankful we found MacVantage and Phil Shepard. There is nothing he can't fix and is super responsive despite the fact that he is in great demand. As a business owner it is a relief to know I have Phil on "our team". He works great with and is understanding of all my employees computer skill levels. Phil keeps a log of everything he does while working on our systems and makes that accessible to us for review if needed. Simply the best.

I own a business and utilize mac computers. When our computers started failing, I contacted two mac "experts" from two different companies who were unable to fix my problem. Phil from MacVantage was easily able to fix the problem. He was extremely professional, knowledgable, and reasonably priced. I cannot say enough good things about Phil and MacVantage.
