Managed & On Demand
IT Services

Backed by 20+ years in the IT industry

Serving Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC.

What managed IT actually means

A fixed monthly arrangement where your systems are looked after continuously, rather than a phone call after something has already gone wrong.

Predictable monthly cost

One agreed figure covering the routine work. You can budget for IT instead of bracing for it.

Monitoring and maintenance

Servers, backups and machines watched continuously, so most problems get handled before anyone in the office notices them.

Patches tested first

Updates are researched and verified before they reach your machines. An update that breaks your software on a Tuesday morning is worse than one applied a week later.

Backups that actually restore

Backups are monitored and test-restored on a schedule. A backup nobody has tested is an assumption, not a safeguard.

User and access management

New staff, departures, permission changes, password and multi-factor resets. Handled as they come up.

Security maintained, not sold

Endpoint protection, patching discipline and access controls kept current as part of the arrangement.

Equipment tracked

A current record of what you own, who has it and how old it is, so replacements are planned rather than urgent.

Vendors handled for you

We deal with your software, phone and equipment vendors directly, which spares your office manager an afternoon on hold.

Industries we work with

Different sectors have genuinely different requirements. These are the ones we know.

Dental practices

Operatory workstations, practice management and imaging software, and the network they all depend on.

Healthcare

Medical offices and specialist practices where downtime means patients waiting and a schedule that can't be rebuilt.

Law firms

From solo practitioners to multi-office firms — document storage, access control and reliable remote working.

Financial

Accountants, advisers and investment firms handling sensitive records with real retention requirements.

Construction and real estate

Contractors, developers and agencies working across sites, trailers and offices that all need to reach the same files.

Distribution and wholesale

Warehouse and office systems, barcode and label hardware, and inventory software that has to stay up.

Retail

Point of sale, card processing and back-office systems across one location or several.

Nonprofits

Education, arts and community organisations that need the work done properly on a budget that's genuinely tight.

Small business

Offices of three to thirty people with no one on staff whose job title includes IT.
