We’d rather prevent the ticket than close it

We don’t make money from each support call, so every incentive points the same way yours does: fewer problems. That shapes how we work with every client.

More about how we work
  1. Investigate

    We interview people at every level of your company and audit your systems to see what’s really slowing you down.

  2. Plan

    You get a technology alignment plan: a ranked issues list, a 90-day plan and a 1-year plan, each with measurable goals.

  3. Maintain

    Monthly audits and regular reviews keep systems healthy, catch drift early and surface the next opportunity.

Common questions

What’s included in managed IT services?

Our managed IT covers a 24/7 service desk, server and network monitoring, maintenance and patching, backup and disaster recovery, cloud and Microsoft 365 support, cybersecurity, and a technology officer who plans your IT around business goals.

How much do managed IT services cost?

Managed IT for small and mid-sized businesses typically runs about $150–$300 per user per month, depending on the services you choose, the complexity of your environment and the number of users and devices. We quote a fixed monthly fee after a short assessment.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. Our agreements are month to month. We’d rather earn your business with results than hold it with a signature.

Yes. Live helpdesk technicians and security analysts are on shift 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Can you secure refrigeration, HVAC and other store systems?

Yes. Retail OT Shield is our managed operational technology and IoT security service for retail, grocery, restaurant, food production, cold-storage and distribution operations, with 24/7 monitoring, vulnerability management and incident response coordination.
