A message from Crosby Loggins, President, Santa Barbara IT Group.

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share the most significant milestone in the 21-year history of Santa Barbara IT Group—one that positions us to serve you even better moving forward.

On August 1, 2026, Santa Barbara IT Group will officially join forces with Channel Island Technology Integrators Group, known as CITIG. CITIG is based in downtown Santa Barbara and is led by Ryan Newell, a longtime friend, colleague, and trusted local technology partner.

This is a natural partnership between two local teams with a long history of collaboration, complementary strengths, and a shared philosophy for customer service. Together, we’re strengthening our team, expanding our capabilities, and creating meaningful long-term benefits for the customers who have placed their trust in us.

CITIG supports a wide range of business and residential customers across Santa Barbara and the Central Coast. Their team brings added depth and experience while maintaining the personal, local service model that has always been central to Santa Barbara IT Group.

Our top priority as we bring our teams together is continuity. You can expect your services, pricing, and technology solutions to remain consistent. Santa Barbara IT Group’s website, phone numbers, and email addresses will remain active, and our team will continue supporting you as part of CITIG, backed by expanded local resources.

For support, please continue using the same primary contact methods:

From your perspective, this should feel like business as usual—with the same people and the same level of care, supported by a larger team behind the scenes.

Your technical documentation and support history will remain secure, organized, and accessible only to the appropriate members of the combined team. Because both organizations use the same secure documentation platform, CITIG will have the context needed to support your environment seamlessly.

Your privacy and confidentiality remain critical to us. For clients with specific confidentiality requirements or existing NDA obligations, those will continue to be honored.

This partnership also provides a more sustainable long-term structure, allowing us to serve you with greater depth and consistency while preserving the relationship-based service you value. As we join our operations, I will be closely involved to help CITIG’s support team become familiar with each Santa Barbara IT Group customer environment. From there, my focus will shift into engineering direction, business development, and ensuring a consistently high-quality customer experience.

We’re genuinely fired up about this. Santa Barbara IT Group has built a fantastic foundation, and joining CITIG allows us to build on it while continuing to deliver the thoughtful, high-quality service you expect.

Please watch for a separate follow-up message with billing details and next steps.

Thank you for your continued trust—we are honored to carry it forward together with CITIG.
