Tell Me About This Industry
It seems like my IT company is slow to respond. Are they?
We’d bet on it. The industry average response time is 3-7 hours, and in many cases, days. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Our live-answer help desk has a response time of 11 minutes or less.
How do I know if I'm secure?
It’s a long list!
Among other considerations, do you:
- have real-time threat detection and response?
- have behavior-based protection so that you are proactive rather than reactive against hackers?
- backup your data where it lives – both in your office and the cloud?
- have web and email protection to protect all your devices from harmful activity?
- continuously monitor and update your systems for security updates?
- ensure you network is secure and ready to pass any audit?
These are just some of the security questions we can answer affirmatively for you.
Ask if your service provider can too or call us for a second opinion.
How do I know if my current IT provider is doing a good job?
Trust your instinct. Can you relate to these issues?
- I can’t get ahold of my IT provider when I need them.
- My security system has let in viruses.
- I can’t plan the IT budget because things keep popping up.
- I have to remind my IT provider multiple times to fix problems.
- I’ve lost data and couldn’t get it recovered, or it took too long to get back.
These are red flags. It’s time to get a second opinion.
Why should I invest in IT?
We’ll give you four top reasons: Productivity, security, speed and stability.
In short, an IT investment gives you time back. Time to focus on your business. Time to focus on you.

Tell Me What I'm Missing
Should I outsource my IT?
It depends on your business pains and goals. Do these sound familiar?
- I spend more time on IT than my actual business
- My staff productivity has dropped because our computers are slow
- We’ve been hit by viruses and had to deal with the aftermath
- I’m thinking about my IT problems way more than I want to.
- I want to expand my business, but IT is holding me back.
Outsourcing IT allows you to focus on what really matters. If you want that time back, let’s talk about it.
What's the best cloud solution for my business?
It depends on your unique needs. Specifically, the size of your business, your business apps and your operational maturity. It’s best to talk with an expert before making a decision.
Read here about the difference between a private and public cloud.
How can I protect my business?
It starts with the essential building blocks. Comprehensive virus/spam protection, regularly tested backup and recovery systems, 24/7 network monitoring — that’s just the beginning.
How do I evaluate my IT?
First, do a gut check. Do you feel satisfied with your IT? Then, ask your staff about their daily IT experience.
You’ll be surprised by what you hear.

What's the difference between managed services and break/fix?
Break/fix companies profit when you have issues. They work reactively and are more concerned with short-term fixes instead of long-term goals and permanent fixes.
Managed service providers (MSPs) focus on taking your business to the next level – eliminating problems before they start and preparing you for the future. Through proactive measures, roadmaps and dedicated support, MSPs align with you.
