Quick answer
What happens when a Talladega business signs up for managed IT?
It starts with a hands-on IT assessment, then one fixed price in writing: $175 per user, per month with a 5-user minimum. During onboarding Operation Buildup documents your computers and network, sets up monitoring and closes the obvious security gaps. After that, the plan is unlimited remote help desk, 24/7 monitoring and quarterly on-site visits.

Onboarding
The first month, week by week.
This is a typical first month for a small office. A larger or multi-location business takes longer, and the order changes if the assessment turns up something urgent.
Week 1: write it all down
Every computer, printer, router, account and vendor goes into your documentation, along with who has access to what.
Week 2: turn on the watching
Monitoring and security software goes on each computer. Updates that have been waiting are installed outside your open hours.
Week 3: close the gaps
Multi-factor sign-in on email, old accounts removed, a backup checked by restoring a file, guest Wi-Fi separated from the office and the registers.
Week 4: hand over
Your team gets the help desk number and email, you get a plain-English summary of what was found, and the first quarterly visit goes on the calendar.
Managed IT · Talladega
Built around the busy weeks.
In Talladega County the calendar has spikes: race weeks at the Superspeedway, holidays and the weekends when everyone is in town. We plan around them. Large changes are finished well before a busy week, and nothing is changed during one unless it is broken. We’re 25 to 30 minutes away in Oxford, and about 20 from Lincoln.

Who we work with
Talladega County businesses we’re built for.
Hospitality and restaurants
Hotels, restaurants and venues with registers, card readers, guest Wi-Fi and seasonal staff, where the worst time for a failure is the busiest weekend of the year.
Manufacturers and suppliers
Plants in Lincoln, Sylacauga and Childersburg with office computers up front and a production network that has to stay up through every shift.
Offices on the square
Law, insurance, accounting and real estate offices in downtown Talladega, usually 5 to 45 people with nobody whose job is IT.

Questions
Managed IT in Talladega, plainly answered.
Do you have an office in Talladega?
We’re based in Oxford, 25 to 30 minutes from Talladega, and work on site across Talladega County.
How long does onboarding take?
About a month for a typical small office: documentation first, then monitoring, then closing security gaps. Support moves over on an agreed date so your team is not left without help in between.
Can you handle a problem during race week?
Critical issues get priority, and managed IT includes 24/7 monitoring and after-hours emergency support. We also plan ahead so large changes are done well before a busy week.
Do seasonal employees count as users?
We agree on the user count with you during the IT assessment and put it in writing before you commit. Tell us how many people you add for busy seasons so the plan fits.
Do you support point-of-sale systems?
Yes. We manage the network, computers and Wi-Fi the registers depend on, and we deal with the point-of-sale vendor and the card processor for you. Vendor management is part of the plan.
Do you serve Lincoln, Sylacauga and Childersburg?
Yes. We serve all of Talladega County at the same price as everywhere else we work.
