What St. Louis Businesses Really Want From an IT Partner
Most St. Louis organizations aren’t looking for flashy marketing—they want dependable outcomes:

They emphasize long-term client partnerships, having retained nearly all of their clients over multiple years. ATB has also earned industry recognition, including ranking on the MSP 501 list for multiple years in a row, which speaks to their operational maturity and scale.
In short: if you’re looking for a broad-scope MSP with proven credentials and full-service capability in St. Louis, ATB Technologies is a strong contender.
How NOC Technology’s Model Differs From ATB's
While ATB Technologies offers a broad and high-performing service portfolio, NOC Technology distinguishes itself in the following ways:
- Human-First, Fully Local Technicians (Not Offshore or Generic Call Centers): At NOC Technology, your live support is answered in 15 seconds or less by a team familiar with your environment, your users, and your business.
- Automation + Human QA Backbone: We’ve built systems so that roughly 50% of tickets are auto-resolved with human oversight — minimizing disruption and letting your team stay focused on business outcomes.
- Business-Consultant Mindset, Not Just Tech Support: Our team shows up not just to fix problems, but to understand your business model, goals, risk profile, and client expectations.
- Scheduled Strategic Cadence: We set regular leadership-level meetings to review metrics, roadmap, risks and opportunities; so you’re always planning ahead, not just reacting.
ATB Technologies is excellent for organizations seeking high-capacity managed services at scale. NOC Technology is built for businesses that expect their MSP to operate as a business partner, embedded in their growth and strategy.
When ATB Technologies Might Be the Better Fit
ATB Technologies may be a compelling fit if:
- You prefer an MSP with extensive recognition, broad service breadth, and industry awards in the St. Louis market.
- Your priority is full-scope IT outsourcing, helpdesk, cloud, security, data analytics, under one roof.
- You are comfortable with a model that emphasizes scale, standardization and institutional strength over boutique customization.
In those scenarios, ATB Technologies’ brand, infrastructure and service menu give them a strong position.
When NOC Technology Is the Better Fit
(Plus Our 90-Day Guarantee)
Choose NOC Technology when your business:
- Operates in a high-trust, regulated or client-facing industry (law firms, CPA firms, wealth management, clinics, manufacturing) where reputation matters as much as uptime.
- Wants an MSP who participates in your leadership conversations and connects technology directly to revenue, client experience and risk.
- Values local technicians who know your environment and build lasting relationships, not rotating support staff.
- Is ready to switch MSPs and wants that transition to feel like finally being understood, not starting over.
