Signs to look for
Signs you need a new IT company.
| Where it shows | The gap | How we run it |
|---|---|---|
| Calls | You call about a problem, and nobody tells you what happens next. | Every request gets a ticket you can track from any device. |
| Reaching a person | Everything has to go through a ticket or a portal, and nobody picks up, even when it’s urgent. | You can call, and your call rings our technicians. |
| Simple asks | Adding a user or a small change sits for days or weeks. | Routine asks, like adding a user, are done the same day you ask. |
| Small changes | Every small change turns into a quote or an extra charge. | Routine changes are covered by your monthly agreement. Projects and hardware get their own quote. |
| Protection | Nobody can tell you exactly how you’re protected. | One secure baseline on every computer, and backup explained in plain words. |
| Repairs | Warning signs get shrugged off: pop-ups, a slow PC, odd extensions. | We fix each problem at its cause. |
With no IT company at all, start at when no one is in charge of IT.
How we take over
Switch without losing your backup or records.
Step 1
We talk before we touch anything
First comes the risk conversation, a sit-down with you. You come away knowing where your gaps are.
Backup
Records
Approval
Step 2
We get you running
First we get you running and simplify anything overbuilt. If you have no backup today, we put one in place during onboarding.
Backup
Records
Approval
Step 3
We lock it down in stages
Then we lock everything down in stages, and your office keeps running while we tighten things.
Backup
Records
Approval
At every step, backup stays in place, we document the work as we go, and only the Primary IT Contact you name approves changes.
An engineer owns your account and knows your office. Technicians work the tickets.
Joining asks a few things of you too: see what happens when you join.
Across our managed clients
Zero ransomware events and zero malware outbreaks.
Every computer we build carries decoy files. If ransomware starts encrypting them, that computer drops off your network.
