People coming and going
A new hire and a departure, done right.
An account nobody closed is one of the easiest ways into a small office. This is the checklist we work from, and you can use it whether or not you hire us.
Before the first day
- Their own account, never a shared one
- Email and the right shared folders, nothing extra
- Multi-factor sign-in set up with them in the room
- A computer that is updated and ready
- A short walk-through of how to ask for help
On the last day
- Sign-in blocked the same day
- Email forwarded to a manager, then archived
- Shared passwords they knew are changed
- Company files moved off personal devices
- Door and alarm codes changed
Part-time and student staff
- An account per person, even for one semester
- Access limited to what the shift needs
- No customer records on personal phones
- One named person who tells IT when someone starts or leaves
IT support · Jacksonville
Up the road when it takes hands.
Most problems are fixed remotely while you’re still on the phone. A dead network switch, a new workstation or a printer that needs replacing takes a visit, and our base in Oxford is about 15 minutes from the square.
- The public square downtown
- Pelham Road (Highway 21)
- Around Jacksonville State University

Who we work with
Jacksonville teams with no IT person.
Offices serving the university community
Insurance, real estate, accounting and law offices near campus where a down computer means a person who cannot work.
Leasing and property management
Offices that handle a wave of leases in a few weeks and cannot have email or shared files down during move-in.
Restaurants and shops
Counters on the square and along Pelham Road where the card reader, the register and the Wi-Fi have to work through the lunch rush.
Shared Wi-Fi
One network for customers, another for the office.
Why it matters
On a single network, every phone and laptop that joins can see your printers, your register and your shared files. A separate guest network gives visitors the internet and nothing else.
How to check yours
Join the customer Wi-Fi with your phone and look for a printer to print to. If your phone can find the office printer, the two networks are not separated.
What we set up
A guest network with its own password that you can change each semester, the office on a different network, and the router’s admin password changed from the factory default.
What it costs
One price, no meter running.
Paying by the hour
- A new bill for every fix
- People wait to call because it costs
- Nobody watching between visits
- Hard to budget
Help desk inside Managed IT
- $175 per user, per month, 5-user minimum
- Unlimited remote help desk
- 24/7 monitoring and patching
- Quarterly on-site visits
- Microsoft 365 licenses billed separately
Questions
IT support in Jacksonville, plainly answered.
Do you come on site in Jacksonville?
Yes. We’re about 15 minutes away in Oxford. The plan includes quarterly on-site visits, and we schedule a visit when a problem needs hands-on attention.
What are the help desk hours?
Support requests are handled Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm Central, and critical issues get priority. Managed IT also includes 24/7 monitoring and after-hours emergency support.
How much notice do you need for a new hire?
As much as you can give. Tell us the start date, the role and whose access the new person’s should match. The earlier we know, the more is ready on the first day.
An employee just quit. What should we do first?
Call or email the help desk so their sign-in is blocked, then change any shared passwords the person knew, such as the Wi-Fi, the alarm and any shared logins. We close the accounts and keep a record of what was closed.
Do you charge by the hour or by the ticket?
Neither. Support is unlimited inside the managed IT plan at $175 per user, per month with a 5-user minimum. Projects outside the plan are quoted in writing before work starts.
Do you support Macs and phones?
Yes. We specialize in Windows, and we support Macs, mixed offices, and the phones and tablets that carry work email.
