Getting Started
Services & Support
Every plan includes 24/7 endpoint monitoring, helpdesk support, patch management, endpoint security, encrypted data backup, and strategic IT consulting. Every client also receives a comprehensive security baseline as standard – we do not offer unprotected tiers. The exact scope scales with your plan, but security is never optional.

Switching IT Providers
Switching managed IT providers is more straightforward than most businesses expect. We handle the full transition – auditing your current environment, migrating credentials and configurations, deploying our security and management tools, and coordinating with your outgoing provider if needed. The goal is zero disruption to your team.
Most providers will cooperate professionally, especially when the transition is handled through a clear, documented process. We have transitioned many businesses from other MSPs and know how to manage the handoff, including retrieving credentials, documentation, and license keys that belong to you.
A typical provider transition takes two to four weeks from kickoff to full operation, depending on the size and complexity of your environment. We run our tools in parallel with your outgoing provider during the overlap period so there is no gap in coverage or support.
