Managed IT, cybersecurity and AI support for Blaine's growing mix of manufacturers, software firms, retailers and sports venues.
Blaine spans Anoka and Ramsey counties along Interstate 35W, U.S. Highway 10 and Highways 65 and 610. The city's 2025 economic development report counts about 1,400 businesses and 26,447 people employed in the city, with a population of 77,871.
The business list is varied. Aveda, Infinite Campus, Carley Foundry, the National Sports Center and several retailers appear on the city's 2022 employer table, and the 2025 report also names Dayton Rogers Manufacturing, Crown Iron Works, Chandler Industries, Ascential Medical & Life Sciences and Northtown Mall. A city this mixed rarely has one IT profile, so support has to fit each company.
Blaine's business community is spread across several school districts, two chambers of commerce and many business parks, and it keeps growing. Companies here often outgrow ad hoc IT quickly. A local team that can see the whole picture helps keep systems consistent as you add people and sites.
We answer calls in under three minutes and engage technicians on issues in under thirty. Blaine is northeast of Brooklyn Park, a short drive from our Brooklyn Park office.
The majority of issues we open get closed the same day. That number comes from a managed services model that is all-inclusive by design: one predictable monthly fee, no hourly billing surprises.
Our operations center watches your environment around the clock, even when nobody at your office is. Escalations route to engineers who know the area.
Our coverage in Blaine includes the Radisson Road Business Center, the area around Northtown Mall, the National Sports Center and Fogerty Arena campus, the TPC Twin Cities golf and club area, the residential neighborhoods of The Lakes, Knoll Creek, Club West and Pleasure Creek, and the offices and plants near I-35W and Highways 65 and 10.
Recent events in Blaine suggest these areas deserve attention.
On April 18, 2025, the City of Blaine confirmed a network security incident earlier that week. Emergency services and phone lines stayed open. The Qilin ransomware group claimed the attack, but the city has not confirmed that claim. Our cybersecurity services aim to catch this type of intrusion early.
nVent announced on July 31, 2026 that it is building a second Blaine facility, producing liquid cooling for data centers, with production expected in the first half of 2027. Growing manufacturers need strong infrastructure and clear guidance on AI use through our AI services.
Software companies like Infinite Campus handle large volumes of customer data, which raises vendor-security questions from their own customers. Our compliance readiness work helps firms answer them.
Blaine's mix calls for different approaches.
Plants like Carley Foundry and metal fabricators need stable shop networks and protected production data, supported through our managed services.
Software firms need strong access controls, change tracking and documented security practices.
The National Sports Center and TPC Twin Cities handle ticketing, Wi-Fi and payment systems that peak during events.
Stores around Northtown Mall and small offices need point-of-sale reliability and cloud backup through a managed backup plan.
Blaine employers range from large campuses to small offices, and cloud adoption varies just as widely. We meet each one where it is.
Cloud migration. Moving from on-site servers to well-configured cloud platforms helps multi-site and fast-growing companies stay consistent. Our cloud services cover planning, migration and ongoing management.
Generative AI. With nVent publicly describing an AI-driven shift to liquid cooling, AI is shaping the local economy. We help Blaine companies adopt AI tools with sensible data rules through our AI services.
A typical IT services engagement in Blaine starts with a free IT assessment. We walk the building, run discovery tooling against the network, talk to the leadership team about where they want the business in 24 months, and write up what we find, including the things you might not want to hear.
From there, the proposal is all-inclusive: one predictable monthly number that covers help desk, monitoring, patching, security stack, vendor management, and strategic planning.
For businesses with internal IT staff, the model shifts. We become the layer underneath, covering after-hours work, project work, security tooling, and the second opinion. That frees your in-house lead to focus on work that genuinely needs to be done from inside the company.
Project services handles one-time work: office moves within Blaine, server replacements, Microsoft 365 tenant migrations, network rebuilds, conference room AV refreshes. If you are scoping a project and want a second opinion before signing a quote, we will review it for free.

The city confirmed on April 18, 2025 that it had a network security incident earlier that week. Emergency services and phones stayed open. Qilin claimed the attack, but the city has not confirmed that and said it was too early to say whether personal information was affected.
Yes. Our office in Brooklyn Park is a short drive away, and we respond to technician requests in under 30 minutes.
Blaine is served by the MetroNorth Chamber and the Twin Cities North Chamber. We do not replace chamber services, but we can handle the IT behind your business.
Growth in that area brings customer security questionnaires, design file protection and fast hiring. We help with access control, monitoring and documented policies.
Gateway Fiber began building a fiber network in Blaine and Coon Rapids in fall 2023. Availability depends on your address, so check it, and we can help design the firewall and failover around it.
Blaine is part of our service area. A single managed services agreement covers all Twin Cities locations, and our after-hours response is the same in every city.
The assessment is genuinely free. You walk away with a written punch list even if you never hire us.
McNallan Technology Solutions works best with growth-focused Minnesota businesses (25+ employees) that view technology as a productivity investment, not a cost to minimize.
