Frequently asked questions

How much does managed IT cost?

$175 per user, per month, minimum 5 users. That one price covers the help desk, 24/7 monitoring, security, Microsoft 365 administration and support (licenses billed separately at Microsoft's price), backups, quarterly on-site visits and vCIO planning. No hourly billing and no surprise invoices.

What if I only have 3 employees?

While our standard minimum is 5 users, we can accommodate smaller businesses. Contact us to discuss a custom solution that fits your needs.

How quickly do you respond?

Support requests are handled during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm CST), and critical issues get priority. Every plan includes after-hours emergency support, and our 24/7 monitoring often spots problems before you notice them.

What happens if I need on-site support?

Complete plans include quarterly on-site visits. When something needs hands-on attention in between, we schedule an on-site visit — we're based right here in Oxford.

Do you help with CMMC compliance?

Yes. We offer CMMC compliance consulting for defense contractors as part of our Custom & Compliance plan.

Do you support Macs?

Yes! While we specialize in Windows environments, we support Mac computers and can manage mixed environments.

What if we already have some IT equipment?

We work with your existing equipment and infrastructure. During onboarding, we'll assess what you have and recommend any necessary upgrades or replacements.

Beyond managed IT

One partner for the rest of your technology, too.

Need more than IT support? We also handle these — so you're not juggling vendors.
