Everything a small business needs. One flat rate.

Most small businesses don't need a full-time IT person. They need someone who shows up when something breaks, keeps Microsoft 365 running clean, knows where every laptop is, and has a real plan when things go sideways.

That's what we do! We'll support up to 50 users for $150 per user, per month. No surprise invoices, no "that's out of scope" emails.

Give us a call or schedule an appointment today!

Does your organization need new computers, servers or network gear? Brace yourself.

Memory prices have jumped 3-4x in the last 6 months. AI companies are eating up the global chip supply, and the shortage is expected to stretch well into 2027. You may see this in the form of a memory surcharge from some manufacturers, or a direct price increase.

Give us a call before you commit to the purchase. We'll give you an honest take on what makes sense to replace now, what to hold, and how to keep the budget from drying up!

Does Microsoft licensing have you looking at it like it's calculus?

Office 365 E3 or Microsoft 365 E3? E5? F1? Bingo? Fortunately, we have the magic decoder ring to keep it all straight so you can focus on growing your business.

Your email and files aren't backed up by Microsoft!

Yes, really. Microsoft 365 keeps your data highly available, but that's not the same as backing it up. If a user deletes a folder, a ransomware attack encrypts a mailbox, or someone empties their OneDrive before leaving the company, the 30-day retention window is all that stands between you and "it's gone."

Microsoft 365 Backup changes that. Pay-as-you-go, protects Exchange, OneDrive, and SharePoint, restores in minutes not days. It is NOT enabled by default! Give us a call today and we'll help you protect your data!
