Edge IT is a fully managed IT infrastructure — enterprise hardware, secured campus workstations, on-site IT Bars, battery backups, redundant internet, MDM, HIPAA-compliant VPNs, endpoint security, and 24/7 helpdesk — backed by SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications. Not a FedEx tracking number. An entire IT operation built around your hire's productivity and your data's security.
EOR platforms like Deel and Remote will ship a laptop to your hire's home address. After that, your hire is sitting at their kitchen table, on their personal Wi-Fi, with no backup power, no physical security, and no IT support beyond a ticket queue. That's not managed IT — that's a liability.
Edge operates secured campus facilities within one hour of every talent in our marketplace. These aren't co-working spaces — they're purpose-built, enterprise-grade facilities designed for business continuity, data security, and maximum productivity.
Dual ISP connections with automatic failover at every campus. Enterprise-grade networking with dedicated bandwidth per workstation. If one connection drops, the other takes over instantly — Edge talent maintain stable connectivity throughout their workday.
Battery backup (UPS) at every individual desk plus facility-wide diesel generators with automatic transfer switches. Zero-downtime power failover protects your operations against grid outages, brownouts, and voltage fluctuations. Edge talent maintain uninterrupted operations through power events.
Fingerprint and badge-based entry at every access point. 24/7 CCTV monitoring, on-site security personnel, visitor logs, and access audit trails. No unauthorized individuals enter the work floor.
No personal devices at workstations. USB ports hardware-disabled. Screen privacy filters on every monitor. All traffic routed through HIPAA-compliant VPNs. Clean desk policy enforced daily. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified controls across every campus.
Every hire gets their own assigned desk — no hot-desking. Enterprise laptop, external monitor, headset, and webcam pre-configured and waiting on Day 1. Personal lockable storage and ergonomic seating included.
Climate-controlled facility, break rooms, quiet zones, private meeting rooms for video calls, and an on-site facilities team maintaining the workspace daily. A real office — not a bedroom.
Every Edge campus includes an on-site IT Bar staffed by technicians. Your hire can walk up and get help immediately — no tickets, no waiting, no time zone delays. Hardware swaps, software issues, peripheral troubleshooting, VPN configuration — our goal is every ticket resolved in under 15 minutes. Face to face, not a faceless ticket queue. No other global hiring platform offers this.
Every Edge hire receives a fully provisioned workstation — company-owned, asset-tagged, MDM-enrolled, and configured with your applications, VPN, and security policies before they walk through the door.
Business-class laptop sourced from our direct vendor partnerships with Lenovo, Dell, HP, and other enterprise brands. Pre-configured with your HIPAA-compliant VPN, applications, and security policies. Asset-tagged and MDM-enrolled.
Additional monitor for a dual-screen setup with the laptop. Optimized for your workflow — EHR on one screen, communication tools on the other.
Professional-grade noise-canceling headset for crystal-clear calls with patients, clients, and your team. No background noise. No dropped audio.
1080p HD webcam for video calls and meetings. Because your hire should look like they're in a professional office — because they are.
Every Edge hire comes with the full IT stack — hardware, campus, support, and security. No extra fees. No upsells.
Edge IT doesn't stop at hardware. We manage the entire technology layer between you and the technology layer between you and your team — device lifecycle, endpoint security, application management, and proactive support. No vendor tickets. No device configuration required on your end.
Every device is enrolled in our Mobile Device Management platform. Remote wipe capability, encrypted storage, enforced security policies, and real-time device health monitoring. Every device is accounted for, always.
Enterprise antivirus, endpoint DLP, automated security patching, and HIPAA-compliant VPN enforcement on every workstation. USB ports hardware-disabled, unauthorized software blocked, and real-time threat monitoring. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified.
Around-the-clock remote troubleshooting for anything the IT Bar can't resolve on-site. Software issues, VPN configuration, application access, password resets — resolved fast, no escalation to your team.
We handle procurement through local vendor partnerships (Lenovo, Dell, HP), configuration, deployment, maintenance, refresh cycles, and decommissioning. 98% device recovery rate at offboarding. When hardware reaches end-of-life, we replace it proactively — not after it fails.
Onboarding and offboarding trigger automatic access provisioning and revocation. Your hire gets access to the tools they need on Day 1 — and loses it the moment they offboard. No manual IT work from your side.
We don't wait for things to break. Automated monitoring tracks device health, network performance, and security compliance across every campus. Issues are detected and resolved before your hire even notices.
We compared Edge IT to what traditional EORs, freelance platforms, and BPOs actually provide. The gap isn't subtle.
