The True Cost of “Break-Fix” IT

Waiting for something to break before calling an IT technician costs more than just the repair bill. Every hour of downtime means idle employees, stalled revenue, and frustrated customers. The average small business loses $8,000–$25,000 per hour of unplanned downtime.

Our fully managed model flips the script: we proactively maintain your systems so they rarely break in the first place — and when issues do arise, we catch them before they escalate.

  • Predictable, flat-rate monthly billing with no surprise invoices.
  • Automated patching for Windows, macOS, and third-party apps.
  • Vendor management: we deal with your ISP, software vendors, and printer companies so you don't have to.
  • Quarterly business reviews (QBRs) to align IT with your growth goals.
  • Employee onboarding/offboarding: account creation, hardware provisioning, and access revocation handled for you.
  • Documentation: every network, password, and procedure is recorded in a secure knowledge base.

What's Included in Fully Managed IT?

Unlimited Helpdesk Support

Call, email, or submit a ticket anytime. Our local Tri-Cities team assists with password resets, software glitches, connectivity problems, and hardware issues — no per-incident fees.

Microsoft 365 Administration

We manage licenses, secure email with advanced anti-phishing rules, configure conditional access policies, and back up your SharePoint/OneDrive data.

Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

Traditional antivirus is not enough. We deploy AI-driven EDR to detect and isolate ransomware, zero-day exploits, and fileless attacks before they execute.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Automated, encrypted backups of critical servers and workstations with tested recovery runbooks — so your data is never truly at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our managed IT support. Contact us if you don't see yours.

Q. How is managed IT different from break-fix support?

Break-fix means you call someone after something breaks and pay per incident. Managed IT means we monitor and maintain your systems around the clock so problems are caught before they cause downtime — with a predictable flat monthly rate and no surprise bills.

Q. We already have an internal IT person. Can you work alongside them?

Yes — co-managed IT is one of our most popular options. We handle monitoring, patching, and after-hours coverage while your internal team focuses on projects and strategy. Think of us as their backup.

Q. How quickly can you get us set up?

Most onboardings take two to four weeks. We audit your environment, deploy our agents, resolve any urgent issues, and transition your helpdesk — all with zero downtime to your staff.

Q. What if we need to cancel?

Our agreements are typically month-to-month or annual with a 30-day cancellation notice. We provide a full environment handoff and documentation so you are never locked in.

Q. Do you cover cybersecurity too, or just IT support?

Both. Every managed plan includes endpoint protection, email security, and patch management. If you need deeper coverage like SIEM, dark web monitoring, or penetration testing, we offer those as add-ons.

Q. What types of businesses do you support?

We work with businesses of any size across a wide range of industries — including medical and dental practices, financial services firms, law offices, manufacturing, and nonprofits. If your organization relies on technology, we can help.
