Is monthly managed IT the right fit for our practice?
It usually fits when the same tickets keep returning, vendors need follow-up, onboarding or offboarding is inconsistent, and no one owns patching, backups, identity, and day-to-day support as a monthly operating model.
What does monthly managed IT actually include?
A flat monthly scope covering proactive monitoring and patching, office help desk, vendor coordination, and user and access lifecycle management. Larger projects are scoped separately so routine support stays responsive.
How is this different from on-demand IT support?
On-demand IT support is reactive. Managed IT gives the practice a standing monthly owner for monitoring, patching, vendor follow-up, user access, and repeat issue reduction. If you only need occasional help, see our IT Support page.
How fast can we start?
A no-PHI fit review and walkthrough usually takes about a week. After agreement, onboarding maps systems and vendors, reviews users and access, documents repeat issues, sets priority rules, and launches routine monthly support.
What response time should we expect?
Urgent patient-facing outages and security events are prioritized first. Single-user, device, login, or printer issues receive same-business-day attention, typically remote first with scheduled on-site help across New Jersey when needed.
Do we need to switch EHR or vendors?
No. Your EHR vendor still owns the application. We support the office systems around it and act as the single point of escalation when issues cross EHR, internet, phones, Microsoft 365, Google, printers, or network vendors.
Are major projects included?
No. Office moves, EHR migrations, full hardware refreshes, recovery architecture, and major network rebuilds are scoped and quoted separately. Managed IT clients get priority scheduling and a smoother handoff back into monthly support.
What happens after we submit the assessment request?
We review your current support load, recurring issues, vendor dependencies, users, and locations. Then we tell you whether monthly managed IT is the right fit, what onboarding would involve, and which issues should be handled as separate project work.
