IT Services

Core IT services

Most companies find their first MBPS IT services here. Something breaks on a Tuesday, tickets pile up, or the one technician who knew every password quits in March. Core IT services make those problems ours instead of yours. Our CompTIA A+ certified team answers around the clock, and yes, that includes the 2am call when the server room air conditioning dies.

• Managed IT Services, the full outsourced model where we run your technology end to end
• IT Support and Help Desk Support for day to day fixes, questions and user headaches
• Remote IT Support, resolved over a secure session while you watch
• Onsite IT Support when hands need to touch hardware
• Co-Managed IT Services, where your internal IT keeps the wheel and we take the overflow
• IT Outsourcing for companies replacing an in-house department or a departing provider
• Proactive Maintenance, patching and monitoring that prevents the Tuesday breakage in the first place
• Patch Management, Network Monitoring and System Monitoring with alerts a person actually reads
• Mobile Device Management, so the phones and tablets that leave the building stay encrypted, trackable and wipeable
• 24/7 Tech Support, because outages refuse to keep business hours

Strategy and advisory

Fixing computers is table stakes. Deciding what to buy, what to retire and what next year should cost is where an IT partner earns the title. These services put a senior technical voice in your planning meetings without a CIO salary on your payroll.

• IT Consulting for one-off decisions, audits and second opinions
• IT Strategy, a documented roadmap tied to your actual budget
• IT Asset Management, every device, license and renewal tracked in one living inventory
• vCIO, an ongoing executive seat rather than a one-time report
• IT Procurement and IT Cost Management, sourcing hardware and licensing at pricing you will not get retail, then trimming what you no longer use
• IT Project Management for rollouts that need an owner
• Technology Vendor Management, one throat to choke instead of nine support lines

Security

Attackers do not care that you are a twelve person firm. CISA's own guidance for small business, which we follow and recommend reading at cisa.gov, starts from the assumption that you are already a target. Our security stack runs from prevention through detection to the awkward Monday when something got through.

• Cybersecurity Services, the managed program that ties the rest together
• Managed Detection and Response for live threat hunting, not just alerts
• Managed SOC, analysts watching your environment 24/7
• Endpoint Protection across laptops, desktops and servers
• Email Security, because phishing is still how most breaches start
• Managed Firewall configuration, monitoring and updates
• Multi-Factor Authentication rolled out without user revolt
• Security Awareness Training that your staff will not sleep through
• Network Security and Penetration Testing to find the gaps before someone else does
• Vulnerability Management, a scheduled discipline rather than an annual scramble
• Malware Protection and cleanup when prevention came too late
• Ransomware Protection layered across backup, endpoint and email so one bad click is not an ending
• Zero Trust Security, access verified every time instead of trusted by location
• Dark Web Monitoring that flags leaked credentials before they get used
• Cyber Risk Assessments, VPN Setup and Firewall Configuration for the fundamentals

Infrastructure and cloud

The unglamorous layer everything else stands on. Some of it lives in your office, more of it lives in someone else's data center every year, and the migration between the two is where projects go sideways. We have moved enough companies to know where the bodies are buried.

• Cloud Migration Services, planned around your busy season rather than ours
• Microsoft 365 Migration from Google Workspace, on-premise Exchange or an older tenant
• Microsoft 365 Support including Power BI, so the licenses you pay for get used
• Google Workspace Support, where we draw the line: for security reasons we convert Workspace companies to Microsoft
• Technology Migration for platform moves beyond email
• Network Infrastructure Services: Network Management, Network Installation and Network Cabling, from infrastructure design to the last patch panel, including Switch and Router Configuration and SD-WAN Deployment
• WiFi Installation and Wireless Network Design that reaches the corner office and the warehouse floor
• Server Management and Virtualization, physical and virtual
• Infrastructure as a Service and Cloud Computing Services when owning hardware stops making sense
• Oracle Managed Cloud Services for the shops that run on it
• Unified Communications and VoIP, phones that follow your people instead of their desks

Continuity and compliance

Nobody budgets for the flood, the ransomware note or the auditor's follow-up letter. This category exists so that when one of them arrives, it is an inconvenience and not an ending.

• Data Backup and Data Recovery that actually restore, tested on a schedule with Backup Monitoring between tests
• Disaster Recovery Planning with recovery times you have agreed to in writing, and Cloud Backup Setup so the copy lives offsite
• Business Continuity, keeping the doors open while systems come back
• IT Compliance for HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI and NIST framework alignment, insurance questionnaires and the rest
• Enterprise Data Protection and Data Encryption for sensitive data at rest and in motion

Projects and specialist work

Not everything fits a monthly agreement. These are the services clients bring us for a defined outcome, a build, an integration, an extra set of certified hands.

• IT Automation and Robotic Process Automation for the tasks nobody should still do by hand
• Custom Application Development when off the shelf will not bend far enough
• Staff Augmentation, certified engineers under your direction
• Website Building, fast and maintained
• IT Training and Workshops, so the IT services you pay for get used past the login screen

If the service you need is not named here, ask anyway. Half our longest running engagements started with a question that did not fit a category.
