“Managed Services provide affordable solutions to the complex technology problems of small businesses for a fixed monthly fee.”
“...Managed IT Services help small business owners by simplifying IT operations and improving the reliability of networks. Instead of spending time worrying about technology, small business owners can stay focused on growing their businesses..”
Managed IT services are provided by an outside firm or IT consulting company. We provide managed services based on remote, proactive monitoring of company networks on an ongoing basis and on-site support as needed with minimal involvement of the small business owners. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) employ consultants who specialize in small business networks, computer support and security. Generally, managed IT services are delivered from a remote location via the Internet, but on-site proactive and emergency services are also provided when necessary. Services range from basic monitoring to fully managed services. Overall support for day-to-day operations and on-demand support for any major need is also provided by these IT consulting groups. Managed services are usually provided on flat monthly fee or per device basis.
There is a growing variety of services that are provided by IT consultants or Managed Service Providers. Broad categories include:
Regular maintenance and monitoring of company computers is essential for optimal desktop performance. IT consulting companies offer various solutions for ensuring that computers are functioning properly and are protected against all of the latest technology threats and disasters. Consultants also provide troubleshooting services and recommendations to prevent the same problems from happening again. Solutions also include server installation and administration.
Remote monitoring of the critical components of a network, such as servers and firewalls, is also provided by managed service providers. Consultants troubleshoot problems remotely to minimize network downtime. With automatic alerting systems, issues are resolved before they can significantly impact network performance.

Data is encrypted and we make sure there is no data loss. Regardless of the company size, data backup and recovery is essential.
Small businesses need computer and network security even more than large businesses. This is because small businesses are often the primary target of hackers who can more easily attack their smaller networks. IT consulting companies provide tools and practices, such as spam management and firewall management, to help protect the small business from hackers, viruses, and spam.
IT consultants recommend and provide custom designed software solutions according to the unique needs of each small business. Depending on the project needs and requirements, IT consultants help small businesses determine the technology best suited to their business needs.
Most small business owners employ an “ad-hoc” approach to dealing with technology, with no long-term plan for future technology needs. IT consulting companies provide a comprehensive computer and network assessment, and evaluate the current IT setup to suggest possible changes to maximize technology effectiveness for the small business.
Many small companies use the “break/fix model” of technology management: when technology fails, a consultant is called in to fix the problem and the company pays a fee for the service. This method results in repeated downtime and lost productivity. The problem with this model is that consultants are not motivated to keep the client’s network and systems running efficiently because the consultant makes more money when the technology breaks down. Small business owners should consider the Managed IT Services solution for several reasons:
