History
Established in 2015.
Empowered IT Solutions was founded by Joaquin Hernandez to help small businesses thrive through better use of technology. What began with Joaquin and Branden has grown into a true family business, now with Joaquin’s son leading operations and his daughter supporting business development, while Branden remains an integral part of the team.
Built on more than 15 years of managed-services experience, our mission is to help small businesses navigate the complexities of technology so they can grow with confidence. We focus on reducing unnecessary technology expenses, improving system reliability, and strengthening cybersecurity, all while delivering solutions tailored to each client’s needs.
Our slogan, “Simple Technology, Total Security,” reflects our commitment to making technology straightforward, effective, and secure.
We are proud to serve our home: San Diego County.
