What is a MSP?
A Managed Service Provider is a third-party company that remotely manages a company’s information technology infrastructure, such as desktops, networks, and security. Using our remote management software, we can diagnose hardware and software issues at your location from our location.
When a client chooses us as their managed service provider, they get access to our ticketing system. This allows you to describe the problem, take photos or screenshots, and even pick the technician you want to work with. We respond to tickets the same day they’re submitted and usually have the problem fixed within thirty-six hours.

Do I really need one?
If you ever have problems with your email, struggle with internet connectivity, can’t figure out where your documents went, don’t have file backups, don’t understand how to work your company’s software tools, keep getting scammed, or have been the victim of phishing, you need a managed service provider. If you find yourself hiring someone to fix what you broke over and over, you need a managed service provider.

Which tier is right for me?
Our support system reflects the amount of technology your business requires and the number of employees you have using it – we call them ‘seats’. All of our tiers include unlimited automated monitoring, unlimited remote maintenance, and a set amount of on-site support per month. Each tier builds upon the previous.
Cloud
//Description and Perks
Our technicians can install Microsoft 365 on a computer, providing users with the Microsoft 365 Suite. This hybrid cloud based software can be saved and used locally on your device without access to the internet and in the cloud, allowing the user to access documents anywhere. This includes access to Microsoft Word, Excel, Teams, OneDrive, Outlook email, and other Microsoft 365 Suite offerings. With purchase of a Cloud seat, you’ll also get professional email addresses for your business – john.doe@yourbusiness.com. Included is our support of the software, such as security audits and password recovery. We will also teach you and your team how to cohesively use Microsoft 365 within your business.

FAQ
Yes, within reason and availability. If you have saved sixty hours of on-site support and save it for December – when most of our company is on holiday – we may not be able to honor those hours until January. We do cap this at six months at your current level. For example, a company with silver seats would cap out at sixty available hours.
We will endlessly fix software included in your contract or in our tech stack – even if you didn’t buy it from us – but we won’t fix unsupported software such as G-Suite or custom software.
We no longer advertise our break and fix services. In Ye Olden Days, technical issues were due to physical problems such as cables breaking or monitors failing. Now, tech is often cloud based and problems require more time and expertise than digging under a desk and finding the failed wiring. We can still fix your break for a higher fee, but clients who are on a monthly MSP contract are our priority. For the cost of one break and fix – $250 – you could instead purchase a Gold Access seat.
