Proactive IT care — not just “call when something breaks”
Managed Services is designed for small businesses that want fewer surprises. You still get fast remote support, but the real value is ongoing oversight — checking systems, keeping things updated, and catching issues early.
Includes proactive oversight + priority support + 1 Hour monthly onsite service time to make hands-on help easier to plan.
About per-device pricing: Plans are priced per actively managed computer or system. Most small businesses average 1–2 managed devices per employee.
Best fit for
- Businesses that want stable, reliable systems with fewer interruptions.
- Owners who want one person accountable for IT health — not just break/fix.
- Teams that prefer prevention and planning over surprises.
- Unlimited remote support for day-to-day issues (phone/email/remote access).
- Proactive system oversight — ongoing monitoring and check-ins to prevent disruptions.
- Routine maintenance (performance checks, cleanup, common stability fixes).
- Update management guidance (OS/app updates coordinated to reduce risk and downtime).
- Priority scheduling for time-sensitive issues and onsite work.
- Onsite service time included: 1 hour per month, with rollover up to 3 hours total.
Note: Specific tools (monitoring/security/backup products) vary by environment. The goal stays the same: stable, secure, and predictable systems.
When you reach out, you’ll always hear back quickly. Target response times:
- Critical: within 1 hour
- High: within 4 hours
- Normal: same business day
- Low: next business day
After-hours support is available; some non-urgent issues may wait until normal business hours.
Managed Services isn’t “set it and forget it.” Here’s the kind of routine work you can expect:
- Health checks: device status, performance, and reliability indicators.
- Update coordination: helping keep systems current without breaking workflows.
- Account & access hygiene: basic review of common login/access issues and best practices.
- Security posture basics: reduce obvious risk where possible (phishing safety, device hardening basics).
- Backup awareness: if backups exist, confirm they’re running and discuss gaps.
- Planning & recommendations: identify weak points and propose fixes before they become emergencies.
The exact checklist depends on your environment — but the outcome is always the same: fewer fires, fewer surprises.
- No hand-offs: issues are handled with full context, without repeating yourself or starting from scratch.
- Clear communication: what’s happening, what’s recommended, and why.
- Less downtime: small issues get addressed before they become big ones.
- Predictable billing: stable monthly cost for managed devices.
- Onsite time that’s planned: monthly included onsite service time for hands-on needs.
Onsite service time terms
- Monthly included time: 1 Hour onsite labor ($65) added each billing cycle while enrolled.
- Rollover: unused value rolls for up to 3 months; max bank 3 Hours ($195).
- Use: applies to onsite labor only (not parts, third-party services, or project work).
- Additional onsite: $65/hr (1-hr minimum); after-hours onsite 1.5×.
- Travel: first 35 miles included per visit; beyond that billed at $1/mile.
Managed Services covers day-to-day troubleshooting, configuration changes, routine maintenance, updates coordination, and user support for managed devices.
Projects are quoted separately (examples: new office builds, major network redesigns, migrations, data recovery, server deployments, large rollouts, cabling, and anything that requires extended onsite time or major planning).
- Discovery: review devices, accounts, Wi-Fi/network basics, and current pain points.
- Stabilize: fix obvious issues that cause recurring interruptions.
- Standardize: align basics (updates, security hygiene, backups where applicable).
- Plan: agree on priorities and what “good” looks like moving forward.
If major upgrades are needed (hardware replacements, network rebuilds, migrations), those are typically handled as a separate project.
If you want fewer surprises and faster resolution when things go wrong, Managed Services is the plan built for that.
