Who this is for

Managed IT Services are a strong fit when you need consistent support and predictable operations without building a full internal IT team. In particular, we work well with:

  • Engineering firms that rely on stable networks, standardized endpoints, and clear change control to keep projects moving

  • Professional services teams that need responsive support, secure access, and reliable systems for client work

  • Non-profit organizations with complex operations that depend on dependable IT, documented processes, and accountability across departments

If your team is tired of recurring outages, slow response, or “random” issues, we’ll bring standards, documentation, and clear ownership—so IT stops being a distraction.

What onboarding looks like

We keep onboarding structured and transparent. First, we review your environment and confirm priorities. Next, we standardize the essentials so support is faster and outcomes are repeatable. Then, we document everything and transition support cleanly.

  • Discovery + environment review

  • Standardization: devices, patching, backups, and security baselines

  • Documentation + support handoff

  • Ongoing monitoring, reporting, and continuous improvement

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you price Managed IT Services?

Pricing is typically based on the number of users and devices. After a short discovery call, we’ll review your environment and provide a clear monthly price and scope so you know exactly what’s covered.

What is included in your Managed IT Services?

Managed IT is designed to keep your environment stable, secure, and supported. It generally includes help desk support, proactive monitoring, patch and update management, backup oversight, and ongoing administration of core systems. The exact package can vary by business needs—your proposal will list the specific deliverables and any optional add-ons.

Do you offer after-hours support?

We can provide after-hours support depending on your agreement and business requirements. During onboarding we’ll confirm your business hours, escalation contacts, and what constitutes an emergency, so critical issues are handled appropriately.

Do you support Microsoft 365?

Yes. We can manage common Microsoft 365 administrative needs such as user provisioning, security settings, mailbox support, licensing guidance, and ongoing operational support. If you have a migration or major change planned, we’ll scope that as a project with a defined plan and timeline.

How quickly can you start, and what does onboarding look like?

Most clients start with a discovery call followed by an assessment of devices, network, backups, and security posture. From there we standardize your environment (patching, monitoring, backup verification, security baselines), document key systems, and establish a support process for your team. We’ll give you a clear onboarding plan and timeline before work begins.

Can you work with an internal IT person (co-managed IT)?

Yes. We can operate as a support layer for your internal IT—handling monitoring, patching, backups, escalations, and specialized Cybersecurity tasks—while your internal staff focuses on day-to-day operations or strategic initiatives. We’ll define responsibilities clearly so nothing falls through the cracks.

Will you help us with Cybersecurity?

Yes—Managed IT and Cybersecurity are closely linked. We focus on reducing risk through patching, hardening, monitoring, and security-focused management. If you want deeper Cybersecurity coverage (e.g., endpoint detection, vulnerability scanning, DNS filtering, dark web monitoring), we’ll scope that and include it in your managed plan.

Do you require a long-term contract?

Yes. Many managed IT relationships use an agreement period so we can standardize and maintain the environment properly. We’ll be transparent about terms and expectations up front, including onboarding, service scope, and how changes are handled.

Do you handle backups and disaster recovery?

We manage backup strategy and monitoring so you’re protected from data loss and downtime. Depending on your environment, this can include backup verification, recovery planning, and periodic review of restore readiness. If you need a full disaster recovery plan, we can scope and implement it.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

We support St. Louis–area organizations that rely on technology daily—including professional services firms, architects and engineers, business professional services, and nonprofits—that want consistent support, predictable operations, and reduced risk. If you’re tired of recurring issues, slow response, or unclear ownership of IT tasks, Managed IT is a good fit.
