Managed Services: Cost Effective & Proactive IT Support

What is Managed Services?

Managed Services is an advanced proactive alternative to the traditional reactive "break-fix" IT consulting, in which IT providers monitor technology systems at all times to prevent costly problems from occurring. Under Managed Services, WingSwept's consultants address warnings, replace parts before the point of failure, and incorporate necessary upgrades. Unlike break-fix IT, Managed Services is more sophisticated and preventative while coming at a fixed predictable monthly fee that fits your budget.

WingSwept offers small to medium sized businesses Managed Services in the form of three Total Care Plans that meet the needs of our customers and future customers. We are confident that we found a better way to keep your company running smoothly, while saving money and time. After choosing the plan for you, you will experience increased productivity and reduced risk that delivers a return on your IT investments.

The comprehensive Managed Services packages are best practice solutions for network management. With a Total Care Plan, we bundle IT services and technologies that we know will keep your network up and your real costs down. By monitoring your technology infrastructure, we are able to prevent outages and identify necessary upgrades before the computer system gets to the point of crashing. Our commitment to this proactive approach will also allow WingSwept to know when your business is being held back by systems that are being strained, because we watch thresholds for processing power and storage.

Before Managed IT Services, your system could cry out for help and no one would hear it. Thresholds are set in the computer system to serve as warnings, but what good does it serve if no one is there to monitor that threshold? Under your current plan, you may be paying to fix something that could have been prevented through a Managed Services Total Care Plan.

The cost of not investing in Managed IT Services may be down time, loss of data, and not performing at an optimal level.

We highly recommend these services and will make sure it is a smooth transition for your business. To help you make your decision, we've outlined some questions that are important to understand.
