Managed Service Providers

Are your tech issues overwhelming your in-house IT staff? Do you not have IT staff but need periodic knowledgeable, reliable, professional IT support? Did the guy/gal who ‘knows computers’ at your company suddenly leave and you have no idea what’s happening with your computer systems? If you answer yes to any of the above, it might be time to consider a Managed Service Provider (MSP)!

Why Use an MSP?

Think of an MSP as your on-demand tech support team handling your IT needs, and allowing you to focus on what you do best—running your business! Here’s why you should consider partnering with an MSP:

  1. 24/7 Support: Because tech problems don’t stick to 9-5 schedules.
  2. Proactive Maintenance: MSPs prevent issues before they become catastrophic.
  3. Expertise on Tap: Access to a team of IT experts without the hefty salary costs.

What Does an MSP Do?

MSPs are like Swiss Army knives for your business. They offer a range of services including:

  • Network Management: Keeping your systems running smoothly.
  • Data Backup and Recovery: Because losing data is a nightmare we can all live without.
  • Cybersecurity: Protecting your business from the bad guys (hackers, not your competitors).

Financial Benefits

Who doesn’t love saving money? Here’s how MSPs help you do just that:

  • Cost Efficiency: Pay for what you need, when you need it. No more, no less.
  • Predictable Budgeting: Flat-rate pricing makes financial planning a breeze.
  • Reduced Downtime: Less downtime means more productivity and higher revenue.

What Qualities Should You Look For in an MSP?

Choosing the right MSP is like picking the right partner for a dance—one misstep, and it’s chaos! Here are some qualities to look for:

  1. Experience and Expertise: They should know their stuff inside out.
  2. Reliability: Look for a provider with a proven track record of keeping systems up and running.
  3. Scalability: Your MSP should grow with you, not slow you down.
  4. Great Communication: They should speak fluent ‘non-tech’ and keep you in the loop.
  5. Reputation: Let’s be real, Florida is a magnet for grifters and shady deals. Like any other reputable profession, an MSP should have a proven track record, be involved in the community it serves, be a ‘real’ company, and carry liability insurance.

Fix My 2009 iMac

What exactly do you want us to do?

A client called today requesting on-site repair for a very old (2009) iMac. Parts are scarce, the software is outdated, and frankly, the machine is worth very little.

Our best advice is to get a new system. We don’t sell products, so there is no sales pressure. We’re just trying to prevent clients from being scammed by someone offering a cheap “fix” for an outdated machine.

What Is Our Value To You?

Lowest Cost Bid

We Own a Million-Dollar Home: Why Aren’t You the Cheapest?

“Company X offers a lower price!”

We get it – IT services is a competitive business. But remember, the cheapest option often means:

  • Cutting corners: A race to the bottom leads to poor service and security risks.
  • Smart shoppers know: Look beyond price. The US Navy doesn’t choose the cheapest submarine builder, for a reason!
  • Think Henry Ford: He initially offered the cheapest cars, but soon realized people wanted more – quality, safety, style.
  • We all want quality: Built by people who care, and are paid a fair wage. This benefits everyone.
  • Looking for the cheapest option might save you a buck now, but in the long run, you will truly get what you pay for.
