Founder-Led Managed IT Since 1982
Hi-Tek Data has been Long Island’s concierge managed IT partner since 1982. Founder-led across every chapter of the company’s history. Sea Pine Equity-backed since the recent platform investment. Still headquartered in Syosset.
What Is Hi-Tek Data?
Hi-Tek Data is a managed IT services provider founded in 1982 in Syosset, NY, where it remains headquartered. The firm has grown from a small custom development and IT services shop into a full-service MSP serving mid-market businesses across the New York Tri-State and nationwide. In recent years, Hi-Tek has been backed by Sea Pine Equity Partners, with founder-led operational leadership continuing across the platform.

Custom application development and IT services for Long Island mid-market businesses.
Grew into managed services
Expanded from project work to recurring managed IT engagements as the model emerged.
Expanded across the New York Tri-State

Concierge MSP positioning
Named-team engagement model, vCIO-led account leadership, in-house development as a consistent differentiator.
Multi-site women’s health practice ransomware rebuild
Inherited mid-crisis from a failing prior MSP and rebuilt the environment from the ground up. The model that defines Hi-Tek’s healthcare practice today.

Why Sea Pine
Hi-Tek partnered with Sea Pine Equity Partners as the operating-partner-style sponsor that fits how this firm actually runs. Sea Pine’s mid-market managed services thesis aligns with Hi-Tek’s concierge-level positioning. The investment expanded operational capacity across helpdesk, security operations, AI governance, and M&A integration while preserving the founder-led leadership and named-team engagement model that defines the client experience.
The discipline of operating under PE ownership has changed how Hi-Tek runs: quarterly board reviews, annual diligence cycles, and the operational rhythm sponsors expect from a platform company. That same discipline shows up in how we serve PE-backed clients on the other side of the table.
What Hasn’t Changed Since 1982
The firm is still headquartered in Syosset, on the same Long Island that the founders started on. The mid-market focus is still the same. The client relationships measured in decades are still the model.
The named-team engagement model — a senior helpdesk pod, a vCIO, a Technical Account Manager — is the same operational discipline that distinguished the firm in the 1990s. The custom development capability that started the firm in 1982 still runs in-house, building the integrations other MSPs subcontract.
