Gap Engineering

Off-the-shelf software gets you most of the way. We build the rest.

Every business runs on systems that almost do the job. What they miss gets covered by spreadsheets, copy-paste, and someone remembering to do it. Connecta closes those gaps — scoped small, built on the tools you already pay for, and priced for a growing business.

System Integrations

Two systems that never talked to each other, exchanging data on their own.

APIs & Data Pipelines

Connect to a vendor, a bank, a marketplace, or your own legacy database.

Forms & Workflows

Replace the paper form, the email chain, and the spreadsheet that tracks it.

Databases

One reliable place for the data now scattered across files and inboxes.

Reporting & Dashboards

The numbers you rebuild by hand every month, generated automatically.

Intranets & Portals

A private place for your team, clients, or vendors to find and submit things.

Why Connecta

Top-Tier IT Leadership, Minus the Full-Time Salary

Growing companies hit a wall: they need real IT strategy and security, but can't justify a $200K+ executive hire — so they make do with a reactive help desk, or nothing at all. Connecta closes that gap. You get the perspective of a seasoned VP of IT, applied to your business, exactly when you need it.

Not a break-fix vendor waiting for something to break. A consultant who diagnoses, decides, and builds — with the credibility of 26 years across healthcare, finance, and enterprise environments.

Cost Efficiency

Executive expertise shared across clients — a fraction of the cost of a full-time IT director or CISO.

Expertise on Demand

Senior-level guidance when you need it, without the overhead of building an in-house team.

Strategic & Hands-On

From the boardroom roadmap to the server room — strategy that's actually implemented, not just slides.

Local & Accountable

Based in Lehi, focused on Utah County and the Salt Lake Valley. You work directly with the person who owns the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Connecta works with growing businesses across Utah.

  • What is a "fractional CIO/CISO," and is my company big enough?

    It means you get executive IT and security leadership part-time, on demand — the strategy and oversight a CIO or CISO provides, without a full-time salary. It's a strong fit for growing companies (roughly 10+ employees) that depend on technology but don't have a dedicated IT leader in-house.

  • No — we work alongside them. They keep things running day to day; Connecta owns the strategy, security, and architecture layer they usually aren't set up to handle. The two complement each other.

  • It depends on scope — a one-time project, ongoing advisory, or a monthly retainer. Because the expertise is shared across clients, it costs far less than a full-time hire. Most engagements start with the free review, so we can scope the right next step before anyone commits to a number.

  • That's most of what we build. The best projects are small and specific — one integration, one form that replaces a paper process, one report that stops being rebuilt by hand every month. We also start by checking whether the tools you already pay for can do it; if they can, we configure that instead of building. Custom code is the last option, not the first.

  • Yes. It's a focused 30–45 minute session that ends with a one-page snapshot of your top risks and a prioritized roadmap. There's no obligation — the value is real whether or not we ever work together. Spots are limited each month and reviewed for fit.

  • Our focus is Utah County, the Salt Lake Valley, and the surrounding area, where we can stay close and accountable. If you're a strong fit just outside that area, reach out — much of the work is done remotely.
