SMALL BUSINESS IT SERVICES FAQ

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN MANAGED SERVICES?

Every business is a little different. A common factor is that you don’t want bills every time you have an issue or need. We include almost everything we offer in our managed services for a fixed fee. The exceptions are projects, programming, and training.

HOW MUCH DO MANAGED SERVICES COST?

The costs for Small Business IT Support will vary depending on the staff size of the business and if there is regulatory compliance specific to your industry. Contact Us for a conversation, and see if we are a good partner for your business. If so, we will be happy to give you a quote.

IS CLOUD TECHNOLOGY SECURE?

Yes! In many cases it can be more secure, especially if you take legacy systems that are not patched regularly into consideration. Each cloud solution differs, and needs appropriate security applied to it. The nature of some business types require additional security and considerations due to regulatory compliance.

ARE ALL MANAGED IT COMPANIES THE SAME?

Of course not. Many only manage and monitor devices.  If there is an issue you get a bill.  Some don’t offer security, some only offer security. Very few offer training. Make a list of what is important to you and your staff and have a good business conversation. Find a company that is comprehensive in its offerings and does business similar to the way you do.

WILL MY BUSINESS BE PROTECTED FROM RANSOMWARE?

No company can truly offer you a guarantee. 

First, there is the human element to take into consideration, then, there are zero day exploits. We are confident that you are secure as you can be, while still being able to work efficiently.

Being security focused we have a number of safe guards in place including:

  • Automated and regular vulnerability patching

We want to get to know you as people before we get to know you as business partners. So, let’s find some time to sit down and discuss your needs and how we can meet them. We promise not to bring pamphlets, charts, flyers, graphs, USB sticks with sketchy software, or anything else to the meeting.

We want to focus on you and your needs, not ourselves and what we can sell you. If we meet your criteria and you meet ours, we’ll streamline your technology and help your business thrive.

Every contact button further up the page will send you to a contact form and we will get back to you shortly. The button below will send you to our calendar. Set a meeting with our team and we'll buy you coffee or a drink.
