MANAGED IT

IT operations your team can rely on

Whether we run IT for you or extend an in-house team, the operating model is the same: tracked tickets, measured SLAs, documented procedures, and quarterly reviews where the numbers either back the story or they don't. Fewer fire drills, predictable spend, no black boxes.

What's included

Two engagement models that map to how mature your IT function already is.

Fully managed

We own end-user IT, infrastructure operations, vendor management, and incident response. Your team focuses on the business; we own the SLA.

  • Tier 1–3 service desk, 24×7 for P1
  • Endpoint, server, and SaaS lifecycle
  • Vendor escalation and renewals
  • Strategic IT roadmap with the leadership team

Co-managed

We extend your in-house IT team with overflow capacity, specialist skills, and after-hours coverage. You retain decision-making and we plug in where the gaps are.

  • Ticket overflow and after-hours coverage
  • Project capacity for migrations and rollouts
  • Specialist depth (network, security, cloud) on demand
  • Tooling access without separate license SKUs

Modern endpoint management

Microsoft Intune, Jamf, or your existing MDM, configured against CIS benchmarks, with patch rings, conditional access, and disk encryption enforced at enrollment.

Identity lifecycle (Joiners–Movers–Leavers)

A documented JML workflow that grants the right access on day one and revokes it cleanly on the last day. SSO, MFA, and group-based entitlements wired to HR.

Patch & vulnerability management

Risk-based patching with test rings, scheduled change windows, and SLA-bound remediation for critical CVEs. We report compliance, not just activity.

AI-assisted operations

AIOps tooling and automated triage where it reduces noise, never as an excuse to skip the human review. We disclose what's automated and what isn't.

What changes after onboarding

Predictable monthly cost

Fixed per-user/per-site pricing with itemized inclusions. T&M only for true projects, with a written change order before work begins.

Tracked, measured SLAs

P1 response under 15 minutes, P2 under 1 business hour, with monthly reports showing whether we hit them, including the misses.

Lower mean-time-to-resolve

Documented runbooks and recurring root-cause analysis cut repeat tickets. Your queue trends down, not up.

Clean offboarding when employees leave

Access removed within an hour of HR notification, hardware tracked, license seats reclaimed automatically.

What you receive on paper

Service catalog & SLA matrix

What we cover, who's accountable, response and resolution targets per priority class.

Onboarding runbook & device standards

New hire setup, equipment imaging, access provisioning, documented and reproducible.

Patch and software policies

Patch rings, approved software catalog, exception process, and CVE remediation SLAs.

Monthly performance report

Ticket volume by priority, MTTR, patch compliance %, backup success rate, top incidents, and what we did about them.

Quarterly business review

Trend analysis, risks, planned work, technology refresh recommendations, and a forward-looking roadmap.

Common questions

What's the real difference between fully-managed and co-managed?

Fully-managed means we own the SLA: the service desk, escalations, and reporting are ours. Co-managed means your team owns the SLA and we plug in for capacity, after-hours, or specialist work. Pricing models are different; we walk through both on a discovery call.

Do you really do 24×7?

Yes for P1 incidents (system-down events, security incidents, business-impacting outages), answered within 15 minutes any hour, any day. P2/P3 follow your business hours by default with an option for extended coverage at a higher tier.

What's in the monthly report?

Ticket volume by priority, MTTR per class, patch compliance percentage by ring, backup success rate, the top five incident categories, and what we did about them. Plus next-month planned activities. We don't hide misses; we explain them.

Will we be locked into your tooling?

No. We use industry-standard platforms (Intune, Jamf, NinjaOne, Microsoft 365, common ITSM tools) that you can take with you. We document credentials, ownership, and license arrangements in a way that survives the engagement.

How do you handle ticket overflow during major incidents?

Major incidents trigger a documented incident-response process: dedicated bridge, regular updates to stakeholders, and a written post-incident review within five business days. Capacity for parallel tickets is part of the contracted plan, not a surprise charge.
