About Us
Meet the Person on Your Side of the Table.
Blake Patterson, Founder
I spent more than a decade working inside large technology and telecom companies. That experience taught me how technology is sold and how difficult the market can be to navigate from the customer’s side.
Why I Founded EITS
A Consistent Advocate With a Broader View.
“I founded Exploring IT Solutions to give organizations a consistent advocate with a broader market perspective.”
Pricing, agreements, incentives, support teams and available solutions can look different depending on which company or department you are speaking with. As organizations grow, those decisions can become scattered across locations, teams and vendors.
Today, I work alongside leadership, IT, operations, procurement and existing MSP partners to help clients understand what they have, evaluate what they need, negotiate agreements and coordinate what happens next.
The goal is not to sell more technology. It is to help clients make better decisions about the technology they depend on.
Personal Accountability and Outside Expertise
Founder-led. Market-backed.
You work directly with Blake, with provider and partner specialists brought in when the engagement calls for them.
Working through EITS supports an independent, founder-led business while retaining access to the providers and specialists your organization needs.
See How We WorkBeyond the Business
Curiosity, Connection and Exploration.
My background also includes ministry and international service, experiences that shaped how I listen, build relationships and work through unfamiliar challenges.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest, traveling, playing chess and spending time with my family.
