Small Business IT in Long Island
Most MSPs are built for the 100-user client and bolt the small ones on as an afterthought. We're built the other way around. Our small-business plans assume one or two non-IT people are running operations and need a partner who explains what's broken in plain English, prices what things cost without games, and shows up when something falls over.
- Predictable IT spend even with 5 employees
- Skip the multi-vendor mess
- Compliance basics covered (HIPAA, NY SHIELD)
- Owner-friendly: we explain things without jargon

A practical IT support scope for a small office
Start with the people, devices and applications your office depends on. Identify who handles routine support today, who controls administrator accounts and who speaks to software and internet providers when something fails. These responsibilities should be written into the support scope rather than left to an informal understanding.
Separate ongoing support from one-time projects. Ask what is included for user access, device updates, security checks and everyday help-desk requests, and what is quoted separately for an office move, cloud migration or network rebuild. Confirm the support hours, escalation route and exclusions before comparing proposals.
If you have an internal IT person, decide which responsibilities stay with them and where outside help is needed. If you do not, choose a clear point of contact and an agreed way to report problems. The right arrangement depends on your systems and operating needs, rather than employee count alone.

Small Business IT delivered across all of Long Island.
SMB IT questions, answered.
We work with businesses from 1 to 250 users. Our smallest fully-managed client is a 3-person law practice. The trade-off is some economies of scale: very small clients pay slightly more per user.
Week 1: assessment and inventory. Week 2: deploy monitoring, EDR, and patching. Week 3: documentation and helpdesk go-live. Week 4: vCIO kickoff and quarterly cadence.
Yes. After the initial 90-day onboarding, agreements are month-to-month. We'll also help you transition documentation to the next provider — that's table stakes.
