About Viridian Guard

The IT Team You Do Not Have to Hire

We're a three-person IT company in Bethel, Maine. We run the technology for small and midsize businesses so the owners can spend their time on the business itself. We also make that technology simpler, cheaper to run and more of it yours.

How We Work

What You Can Expect From Us

Straight Answers

If a change won't pay for itself, we tell you, even when it means less work for us. The agreement is in writing, and when something goes wrong you call a person.

Vendor Neutral

We take no reseller commissions, so nothing we recommend pays us a kickback. Open source, licensed or a mix, whichever fits your business.

Ownership Where It Pays

We push for systems you own, because rented ones can be repriced or taken away. Where renting is the better deal, we'll manage it just as carefully.

Paid for Things Working

A flat monthly fee in size bands, not per person and not by the hour. We earn nothing extra when your systems break.

The Team

The People You Will Actually Talk To

Three of us run the company, and each client works with all three.

Ian Palonis
Ian Palonis
Chief Executive Officer

Ian has spent nearly two decades in software delivery, technical implementation and technology strategy. He works out what your business needs, what to keep, what to replace and in what order, so nothing breaks while you switch.

Michael Salmons
Michael Salmons
Chief Technology Officer

Michael has about 13 years of production experience with networks, servers, cloud platforms, automation and backups. He builds and runs the technical side of every client and writes the custom software and Odoo modules.

Angel Salmons
Angel Salmons
Chief Operating Officer

Angel turns how your business actually runs into systems your staff can follow: Odoo setups, scheduling, invoicing and the written procedures behind them. She tests each one with the people who will use it before it goes live.

Where We Are

Based in Bethel, Maine

Bethel is in western Maine, about twenty minutes from the New Hampshire line and an hour and a half from Portland. If you're in that stretch and need someone in your server closet, we can drive there.

Most of the work doesn't need anyone in the room, so we support clients across the country remotely. The help desk runs 9 AM to 5 PM, and on-site visits happen within 24 hours when a fix needs one.
