What you actually get

Outcomes, in plain English.

Safety

Fewer interruptions, less hidden risk

Proactive monitoring catches issues before they hit the helpdesk queue. Patch cadence, backup verification, and lifecycle planning that holds up under audit.

Flow

Faster help when it matters

Real humans on the phone, predictable response windows, no ticket roulette. Helpdesk remote and on-site for staff across the Sierra corridor.

Trust

Clearer ownership and planning

vCIO quarterly business reviews translate IT into business decisions you can act on — not a 40-page report you will never open.

AI-forward

Practical AI in the engagement

Managed IT includes AI training and safe-AI consulting — because the right AI rollout protects the business as much as it accelerates it.

Engagement models

Pick the shape that fits.

Most common

Fully Managed IT

We own your IT end-to-end. Monitoring, helpdesk, security, planning. Best for teams without an internal IT person.

Typical onboarding: 2-4 weeks. Priced after a 30-minute discovery — no fake calculators.

For internal IT

Co-Managed IT

We back up your existing IT lead with after-hours coverage, tooling, security, and vCIO. Best for growing teams that already have one person carrying it.

Scoped to where your team needs depth.

One-time

Project & Cleanup

Migrations, cleanups, audit prep, or transitions off a previous MSP. Fixed scope, fixed timeline.

Often the first step toward Fully Managed.

Built for your vertical

The risks we know cold.

Healthcare

Practices that cannot afford EHR downtime

We support multiple Northern Nevada practices across optometry, surgery centers, pediatrics, and primary care. HIPAA-aware support with a Business Associate Agreement on file.

Legal

Firms that need confidentiality without friction

FAQ

The questions buyers actually ask.

How fast do you respond when something breaks?

Critical issues are handled quickly during business hours, with on-call coverage after hours. We publish response targets in your service agreement so you can hold us to them.

How long does onboarding take?

Most clients are fully onboarded in 2-4 weeks. We document everything as we go, so you are not stuck if you ever leave.

What is the contract length?

Standard agreements are 12 months. Project work is fixed-scope, fixed-timeline. We do not lock anyone into multi-year deals to make a sale.

Do you handle backups, DR, and HIPAA?

Yes — backup and recovery are included, with verification cadence and a documented restore plan. For healthcare, we sign a Business Associate Agreement and run HIPAA-aware support for multiple Northern Nevada practices.
