How It Fits Together

Everything We Keep Running, in One Picture

Your office is one system, not a pile of separate boxes. Pick a part to see what we look after.

How a managed office network fits togetherThe internet connection reaches a managed firewall, which feeds a switch.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what business owners ask us most.

What are managed IT services?

Managed IT services means a technology partner takes ongoing responsibility for your systems instead of only reacting after something breaks. We monitor your devices and network, apply updates, manage security tools, support your team day to day, and plan ahead for what your business needs next.

The practical difference is that most issues get identified and resolved before they interrupt someone’s work day — and your technology costs become predictable rather than unpredictable.

Do you support small businesses?

Yes. Our services are designed around the needs of small and mid-sized businesses — organizations that depend heavily on their technology but do not have, or do not need, a large internal IT department.

That includes accounting and tax firms, law firms, financial services, healthcare practices, real estate, construction, and professional services businesses.

Do you provide cybersecurity services?

Yes. We implement layered security across your users, devices, email, identities, and data — including endpoint protection and detection, multi-factor authentication, email security, vulnerability management, identity and access management, and security awareness training for your staff.

We also help you plan for the situation nobody wants: what happens, and who does what, if an incident occurs.

Can you manage our Microsoft 365 environment?

Yes. We handle Microsoft 365 setup and migration, tenant and security configuration, Microsoft Entra ID, Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams, along with day-to-day administration, licensing guidance, and user support.

A large share of the Microsoft 365 environments we review are running close to default settings. Reviewing and tightening that configuration is usually one of the highest-value security improvements a small business can make.

Do you provide backup and disaster recovery?

Yes. We implement and monitor backups for servers, endpoints, and Microsoft 365 data, test that recoveries actually work, and help you build a disaster recovery and business continuity plan.

Backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity are three different things, and each one answers a different question. We explain the difference in plain language and help you decide how much protection each part of your business genuinely needs.

Can you work alongside our existing IT provider?

Sometimes — it depends on the engagement and the service model. Co-managed arrangements can work well when the responsibilities of each party are clearly defined, for example when we take on security or Microsoft 365 while an internal person or existing provider handles other areas.

We’ll walk through your current setup during the consultation and give you an honest answer about whether a co-managed model makes sense in your situation.

Do you provide on-site support?

On-site support availability depends on your location relative to our service area. We currently serve Massachusetts & New England.

Much of what businesses need day to day is handled remotely, which is usually faster. For work that genuinely requires someone on premises — network installations, hardware deployments, infrastructure projects — we’ll confirm coverage for your location during the consultation.
