About LightChange

    The team behind the teams that keep things running.

    We're an advanced IT, OT, and cybersecurity firm out of Louisville. We take on the work your team can't get to, we do it in your environment instead of ours, and we teach your people how it works.

    Why we started

    Putting the client first has been at the heart of LightChange from the very beginning.

    Michael O'Coners, Founder and CEO of LightChange Technologies

    “From our earliest days, I built this company because I saw too many customers not getting the standard of care they deserved. Plenty of MSPs lock their clients into an ecosystem and mark up vendor costs well past what's fair. A lot of IT shops are built to add as many clients as they can. We're built to go further with fewer, and to grow those partnerships so we succeed together.

    It's why we're straight about what things cost, and why we'll point you to a cheaper product or a different approach when that's the right answer, even when it costs us the sale.

    We've grown a great deal since those early days, and the principle has only gotten stronger. You still talk to the engineer who knows your network, and you can still talk to me. We've built this company so that part never changes.”

    How we work

    We do the work with your team, and we teach as we go.

    We teach your team what we're doing.

    The engineers on your staff should come out of every project more capable than they went in. You can see inside everything we build, and you could run it without us if you decided to.

    You get the engineer doing the work.

    When something needs a conversation, you talk to the person who knows your network. No account manager in the middle, no ticket queue.

    We're transparent about what things cost.

    Hardware, licensing, labor. You see what you're paying for and why.

    We earn the relationship.

    Twenty-two years in, most of our clients have stayed with us more than a decade. They stay because our work speaks for itself.

    Local roots

    We're proof there's more to Kentucky than bourbon.

    We're headquartered in Louisville, and our clients are spread across the continental US. Electric co-ops, water authorities, municipalities, ISPs, manufacturers, and plenty of organizations that don't fit any of those labels. When a substation, a plant floor, or a data closet needs hands on the equipment, we travel out, and the person who shows up is the engineer who already knows your network.

    Work moves by word of mouth in this business. Most of our clients came from another client telling them to call us, and we'd like to keep it that way.

    What we do

    Specialist depth across five disciplines, plus the platforms we built ourselves.

    OT and ICS security

    For control rooms, plant floors, and building systems that can't go down. Our sharpest specialty.

    Cybersecurity programs

    That turn the tools you already own into something a board and an auditor can read.

    Network infrastructure

    Built for uptime, from wireless to BGP to fiber.

    Systems and cloud

    Virtualization, backup, and cloud builds that have to be right the first time.

    Managed services

    Co-managed and fully managed, with your team keeping the work and the knowledge.

    If you're carrying a problem your team can't get to, that's the conversation we're built for.

    What's stuck on the whiteboard? Let's talk.

    Maybe it's a network that can't afford to go down, an OT environment you can't see into, or a security program that's all tools and no plan. Whatever's on the board, tell us what you're working on and you'll talk it through with an engineer, not a sales person.
