Over 25 years of innovation, reliability and partnership
Since 1999, Kishmish has been helping businesses simplify technology and strengthen connections. From our early days providing nuts-and-bolts IT service to today’s full suite of managed IT, cloud and web solutions, our focus has stayed the same: deliver technology that works seamlessly, so our partners can move forward with confidence.
A brief history
From two founders to a full managed IT team
- 1999
Humble beginnings
Kishmish began as two guys serving businesses in the Syracuse area, using emerging web technologies to help speed up business tasks and support internal employee communication.
- 2000
The dot-com bubble crash
The collapse of the dot-com bubble drove our move from developing web technology to providing nuts-and-bolts IT service to under-served companies in the region.
- 2006
Regional recognition
As we continued to grow, we pioneered managed IT service in the Syracuse region.
- 2008
Regional expansions
We soon expanded to provide digital marketing services to new and existing partners.
- 2013
Software expertise
We rebranded our “Web Services Team” as “Software and Digital Marketing”, with a focus on cloud-based custom software, e-commerce and custom business websites.
- 2017
A new headquarters
With a growing team, we outgrew our downtown home and moved to a new headquarters in the Syracuse area (Liverpool), on 7th North Street. With more than twice the space and more to grow into, we expect to call it home for years to come. If you’re in the area, feel free to stop in!
