FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Managed IT Services?
Managed IT Services is the practice of outsourcing your day-to-day IT management and technical support to a specialized provider (an MSP). Instead of waiting for things to break, we proactively monitor, patch, and secure your systems for a flat monthly fee.
Do you support businesses outside of Lake Norman?
Yes! While our primary focus is Huntersville, NC, and the surrounding areas (specifically within a 60-mile radius) for fast on-site support, our robust remote support tools allow us to manage and secure endpoints for clients nationwide.
What is Co-Managed IT?
Co-managed IT is a partnership where we work alongside your existing internal IT staff. We can handle the tedious daily tasks (like patching and backups) or provide high-level strategic guidance and cybersecurity expertise, allowing your internal team to focus on core business projects.
