Managed IT Services in Belleville, IL

We publish it, which makes us unusual here. The estimator gives you a real monthly number from your user and device count, before any salesperson is involved. Flat rate, security included, no per-ticket billing, so a bad month for you never turns into a larger invoice from us. Bring your current agreement to the first call and we will read it with you.

No. Our office is in Washington, Missouri, on the west side of the St. Louis metro, about 70 miles by road from Belleville, and we have served this region since 2009. Almost everything we do for you reaches you over the network.

Both, deliberately. Remote resolves most tickets faster, because a technician is inside your systems while you are still describing the problem. Scheduled work brings a person to you: switch swaps, server cutovers, Wi-Fi surveys, new suites, and onboarding weeks. When something genuinely needs hands on the hardware, it gets hands on the hardware.

We put a clock on resolution, and our performance against that clock is published on our SLAs page. Answer speed is simple to advertise and simple to game, so it tells you very little about a provider. The measurement worth trusting is your own ticket count this month set against the same month last year. Ask us for ours in the same conversation.

Break-fix bills you per incident, which pays your provider more the worse your year goes. Managed IT is a flat monthly agreement covering monitoring, patching, security, backup, and day-to-day support from a team that already knows your network, so the incentive moves to preventing the incident. That is why we ask to be judged on your ticket count instead of our answer speed.

Yes. Jon Lober, our owner, is a CMMC Registered Practitioner, so the clause your prime sent gets read here instead of forwarded to an outside consultant. We carried a Missouri precision machining firm through NIST 800-171 to protect its Department of Defense contracts. Ask every provider you are considering whether a credentialed Registered Practitioner works there, and ask for the name.

Yes. A vCIO gives you the planning a full-time IT director would: a written technology roadmap, a hardware and licensing budget you can plan a year against, security and compliance priorities in the order they matter, and vendor management. It arrives through a regular Technology Business Review rather than a surprise project quote. See Business Consulting.

Less work for you than you expect, because we run it as a project. We document the environment, take custody of credentials, stand up monitoring, deploy backup and security, then cut over around your production calendar. You get one named lead and one written plan with dates, and your outgoing provider deals with us instead of with you.

Twelve months, with the right to renew for another twenty-four, and the terms are discussed at proposal before you sign anything. Your first ninety days carry the guarantee: we refund your previous month's service costs, help you move to another provider, and hand over every piece of documentation we have compiled along the way.

Layers, because any single product leaves gaps. Managed endpoint protection, email security, multi-factor authentication, 24/7 threat monitoring, dark web monitoring, security awareness training, and data loss prevention for the AI tools your staff already use. All of it sits inside the monthly agreement instead of arriving later as an upsell after an incident. See  Cybersecurity.

Yes. Access controls, encryption, audit logging, backup requirements, business associate agreements, and staff training, for medical, dental, and veterinary offices. The team maintaining your systems also maintains the evidence that those systems are compliant, so a records request or an audit stops turning into a week of scrambling for screenshots.

Anybody buying on price alone, anybody running fewer than ten computers who wants hourly break-fix help, and anybody who needs an engineer sitting in the building every day. We will say so on the first call rather than six months into an agreement, and we will usually tell you who to call instead.
