Monitor, Manage, and Support
As a MSP, we monitor, support, and manage your Information Technology (IT) infrastructure remotely. Through proactive monitoring, patching and preventative maintenance processes, we ensure that things are running smoothly. We will keep you informed of what we see in our remote monitoring and management tools, so that together we can address any concerns. This facilitates better planning and budgeting (as an example, it is good to know if drives are about to fail, an application keeps crashing, or cloud backup is exceeding allocated storage).
