Engineering Reliability Since 2010

Puerto Rico's Trusted IT Engineering Partner

Born in the unique technological and regulatory landscape of Puerto Rico, Eight Six IT Engineering was built on one conviction: mission-critical organizations deserve infrastructure that never fails.

Our Story

Started in the Field. Built for the Front Line.

Eight Six IT Engineering was founded by engineers who worked directly inside healthcare facilities across Puerto Rico — not from a boardroom, but from server rooms, radiology suites, and emergency clinics. We saw firsthand what happens when IT fails in a clinical environment.

That experience shaped everything we do. We don't offer generic IT packages. We engineer solutions specifically for environments where downtime is measured in patient outcomes, not just lost revenue.

Over 14 years and more than 1,000 endpoints managed across the island, we've grown into Puerto Rico's most specialized healthcare IT firm — while staying small enough that every client knows our engineers by name.

Mission & Values

What We Stand For

Our values aren't a wall poster. They're the engineering principles we apply to every project.

Security First

Every infrastructure decision starts with the question: how does this affect the attack surface? Security is not a feature — it's the foundation.

Engineering Precision

We don't patch problems — we engineer solutions. Every system we design is built to perform under real-world pressure, not just ideal conditions.

Radical Transparency
