Trusted IT Consulting Since 1997
We build, secure, and support the networks and systems small and mid-size businesses depend on — without the enterprise price tag or the vendor runaround.
Founded in 1997 in Buffalo, NY, Corkscrew Consulting Group has been helping businesses navigate the ever-changing landscape of information technology for nearly three decades. What started as a local IT services firm has grown into a full-service consulting practice with clients across the country.
We've watched the industry evolve from on-premise servers to the cloud, from perimeter firewalls to zero-trust, from T1 lines to fiber. We've kept pace with every shift — and so have our clients.
Our approach is direct: no unnecessary complexity, no vendor lock-in, and no upselling solutions you don't need. Just solid, reliable IT that keeps your business running so you can focus on running your business.
End-to-end IT consulting for businesses that need infrastructure that scales and support that actually responds.
LAN/WAN design and deployment, firewall configuration, server virtualization, and data center planning. We build networks that scale with your business — and don't fall apart under load.
Remote helpdesk, proactive monitoring, patch management, and on-site support for SMBs. We keep your systems running so you don't have to think about them.
Security audits, network hardening, vulnerability assessments, and compliance consulting (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST). Know your risk — then reduce it.
Cloud migration strategy, hybrid infrastructure design, and virtualization (VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V). Move at your pace, not the vendor's timeline.
We build things too. Here are a few projects that came out of real problems we needed to solve.
A lightweight network monitoring dashboard. Each system gets a green or red tile — click a red one to see exactly what broke and why. Supports ping, HTTP, TCP port, SSH metrics, and SNMP checks. Self-hosted, SQLite-backed, no cloud account required.
A self-hosted personal finance tracker built to fill the gap left when Microsoft Money was discontinued in 2009. Full account register, bills and recurring income, budgeting, net worth charts, balance forecasting up to 36 months, and QIF/OFX/CSV import. Your data stays in your own PostgreSQL database — no cloud sync, no subscription.
Obsidian-to-Notion sync, homelab infrastructure, and other tools and experiments live at our GitHub profile.
Have a project in mind, an infrastructure problem that's been nagging you, or just want a second opinion? We're happy to talk.
