Your IT should not be holding your organization back.
For more than 20 years, 3C Solutions has been the outsourced IT department, cybersecurity team and technology advisor for organizations across Washington DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland. Today that means around 1,200 endpoints under management and a 24x7 security operations center behind them.
We also build software. Our custom solutions integrate with the systems you already run, ending the data transfer and re-entry that the usual patchwork of programs forces on people.
3C Solutions does not represent any companies or platforms. This means you get the best solutions for your company, not for ours.
How We Work with Clients
Our working principles reflect what clients need from a team responsible for essential technology.
Take Ownership
We treat the broader technology environment as our responsibility, not just the ticket in front of us. When other vendors are involved, we help coordinate the work rather than sending the client elsewhere without direction.
Communicate Clearly
Clients deserve to understand what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next. We translate technical issues into straightforward business language and keep stakeholders informed.
Build Security Into Decisions
Security is considered throughout support, cloud, software, and planning work rather than added after the fact. We use a risk-based approach to help protect systems, information, and daily operations.
Recommend What Fits
Technology should match the organization’s needs, systems, security requirements, and budget. We focus on practical outcomes instead of pushing products that do not solve a meaningful problem.
How 3C Solutions Became One Accountable Technology Partner
3C Solutions grew from a practical idea: organizations should not have to chase multiple vendors or repeatedly explain the same problem to get effective technology support. Too many businesses were dealing with slow responses, recurring issues, unclear responsibility, and advice that created more confusion instead of a clear path forward.
We built our approach around ownership. That means understanding the whole environment, communicating in plain language, and staying engaged until an issue is addressed. It also means looking beyond the immediate request to identify risks, recurring problems, and opportunities to improve how the organization operates.
As technology changed, our capabilities expanded with it. Today, we bring managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud services, custom software, automation, artificial intelligence, and long-term planning together through one accountable team. This breadth allows us to support daily operations while helping clients prepare for changing security needs and business goals.
We work best with construction firms, law firms, real estate and property management companies, and professional services firms — organizations that depend on their technology, do not want to build an IT department, and would rather have a straight answer than a proposal.
Chris Thunell
Chris Thunell leads 3C Solutions. For more than 20 years he has been the person organizations across Washington DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland call when their technology has to work — running managed IT, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365 and AWS and Azure cloud environments, and building the custom software 3C writes when off-the-shelf will not do, including Broker Central for Century 21 New Millennium.
Clients deal with Chris directly. He believes an IT partner should explain things in plain language, recommend only what a client actually needs, and stay on a problem until it is resolved — which is how 3C has worked from the start.
Our Office
Our team works from 2120 16th St. NW in Washington, DC — close enough to be onsite across the District, Northern Virginia and Maryland when onsite is what the problem needs.
What Clients Say
3C Solutions has been a game-changer for our property management operations. Their team not only handles the basics but brings true expertise — recommending and implementing hardware, setting up software, and coordinating with vendors for things like cellular communication and building display systems. Their staff is top-notch, and the personal attention from ownership shows in every interaction. If you want an IT firm that understands your business and acts quickly, 3C is the right choice.
Unlike other IT companies that rely on impersonal call centers and long wait times, 3C provides prompt, personalized support. They don’t push unnecessary services or upgrades, and they always keep cost in mind. Switching IT companies is smooth, and with no long-term contracts it’s risk-free to give 3C a try. They offer the best value I’ve ever received from an IT company.
Since partnering with 3C Solutions, we’ve experienced quality service and trustworthiness, which are critical to our organization. Unlike other IT firms, 3C truly appreciates the importance of our unique mission and aligns their approach to support it. If someone was on the fence about choosing them, I would tell them to get off the fence — Chris and his team are superb, dedicated, and trustworthy.
