Sisters packs a lot into a small footprint. With a thriving tourism economy, boutique retail district, hospitality businesses, and a growing community of remote workers and creatives, Sisters' small businesses depend on technology more than ever — even if formal IT support has historically felt out of reach. Richesin Engineering brings managed IT services to Sisters and the surrounding Deschutes County mountain communities — practical, local support without big-city overhead. Our Madras headquarters is just 30 miles away, and we understand the unique needs of small-town Oregon businesses.
Running a business in Sisters means wearing a lot of hats. IT shouldn't be one of them. Richesin Engineering acts as your outsourced IT department — handling everything from day-to-day helpdesk requests to strategic technology planning — so you can focus on what you do best.
We monitor your servers, workstations, firewalls, and network devices around the clock. When something goes wrong — even at 2 AM — our team knows before you do and starts working on it immediately. Proactive monitoring prevents small issues from becoming costly outages.
Your employees get direct access to our responsive IT helpdesk via phone, email, or ticketing portal. We handle password resets, software troubleshooting, connectivity issues, printer problems, and everything in between — with rapid response times and friendly, knowledgeable techs.
From user provisioning and license management to Teams configuration, SharePoint, and email security, we handle your entire Microsoft 365 environment. We keep your tenant secure, compliant, and optimized — and we train your team to use it effectively.
Whether you run on-premise servers, cloud infrastructure, or a hybrid of both, we manage it. Patch management, performance tuning, capacity planning, and security hardening are all included. We keep your infrastructure reliable so your team stays productive.
Data loss can be catastrophic. We design and manage multi-layered backup systems — local, cloud, and off-site — and regularly test restores so you know your data is safe. Our disaster recovery planning ensures your Sisters business can bounce back from any outage, ransomware event, or hardware failure.
Every managed IT plan includes core security controls: endpoint protection, email security, patch management, and access control. For businesses that need more, we offer a full cybersecurity services stack including managed firewalls, threat detection, and incident response.
Modernize your communications with a VoIP phone system managed alongside your IT. We integrate with your network infrastructure to deliver crystal-clear calls, voicemail to email, mobile apps, and auto-attendants — all on one monthly bill.
Stop overpaying for computers and equipment. We source business-grade hardware at competitive prices, configure it correctly before it arrives at your door, and track asset lifecycles so you're never caught off guard by aging equipment. Procurement, deployment, and retirement — all handled.
Yes. We offer flexible managed IT plans designed for small businesses — including single-location shops, galleries, restaurants, and hospitality businesses common in Sisters.

Internet outages in rural areas can be disruptive. We design redundant connectivity solutions for Sisters businesses — including bonded internet and Starlink failover — so that a single provider outage doesn't take your business offline. We also monitor your connectivity 24/7 and respond immediately to outages.
