About Us

Technology Transition Paradigm offers a different approach to IT services—one that adapts to your business needs, ensuring you get the right solution, the right provider, and the right price.

For organizations under 200 employees, we provide direct, high-touch IT support with an emphasis on security, redundancy, and operational efficiency. We’re not the cheapest option, but we insist on doing IT the right way—leveraging Intune, ThreatLocker, Acronis, and other top-tier security and management tools to keep your business protected and running smoothly.

For larger companies or those with nationwide IT needs, we act as your expert consultant—guiding you to the best Managed IT Service Provider (MSP) for your specific needs. Our network includes top-tier national providers, including those specializing in high-security and compliance frameworks critical to government contractors, law firms, and regulated industries. These include CMMC, NIST 800-171, SOC 2, HIPAA, the FTC Safeguards Rule (GLBA Compliance), and ISO 27001, ensuring your IT infrastructure meets the necessary security and compliance standards.

If you already have an MSP that’s underperforming, replacing them isn’t always the best option. Instead, we can audit and optimize your existing provider, ensuring they meet industry best practices, deliver the right level of service, and charge fair market rates. We specialize in both technical and market audits—helping businesses identify cost-saving opportunities in licensing, contracts, and IT solutions.

Founder Brian Vaughn brings 35 years of executive IT leadership, having co-founded and served as a principal shareholder of Dataprise, where he helped scale the company before a successful exit in 2011. He is also a co-founder and shareholder of Shipshape IT. For the last 15 years, Brian has volunteered with the Information Technology Foundation (ITF), a non-profit partnership between Montgomery County Public Schools and the local business community. ITF promotes IT education in grades K-12, preparing the next generation of technology professionals.

At Technology Transition Paradigm, we don’t just support IT—we redefine how businesses engage with technology. Whether you need a trusted IT partner, an MSP optimization strategy, or expert guidance on IT spending and security, we help you navigate the best path forward—on your terms.
