The Reality

Ask any room of business owners how they feel about their IT provider and count the eye rolls. The ticket sits for three days. The invoice arrives in fifteen minutes. Somewhere between onboarding and renewal, the service quietly stopped being one.

The stale ticket

Opened Monday. Acknowledged never. By Thursday you’re CCing the owner of the company to get a password reset.

The mystery invoice

Line items nobody can map to work performed. The one thing delivered reliably every month is the bill.

The slow exit

Nobody fires their MSP over one disaster. They leave over a hundred small silences.

One fee. Everything on this list.

This table goes in the contract word for word. If it’s on the list, the monthly fee covers it, and nobody re-litigates scope over a password reset.

Helpdesk, 8×5

Email or call. Every request becomes a Zendesk ticket with a number you can quote back to us.

New hires

Account, licenses, device, access. Ready before they walk in on day one.

Departures

Access revoked, data kept, license reclaimed. Same day, on the record.

M365 & Google Workspace

Administration of both estates, by people who run both every day.

License procurement

Purchased, assigned, reclaimed, renewed. Idle licenses get noticed and released.

Remote support & patching

Splashtop remote sessions and endpoint patching, on a schedule you can see.

Endpoint security admin

Security tooling administered and every alert triaged by a person.

MFA & identity hygiene

MFA enforced, stale accounts closed, permissions reviewed before they rot.

Asset & license inventory

A current list of what you own, what it costs, and who holds it.

Every ticket, every change, every license move. In writing, every month.

Identity and access management

Clear pricing, per person.

One number per supported user per month, counted the same way every month: a named human being with an active email identity in an environment we administer. Everything else rides free.

Seat count, monthly

Taken on the first business day of each month. Headcount goes down, the bill goes down with it.

Licensing, passed through

Microsoft and Google licenses bought through distribution with a margin you can check against list price. Go ahead, Google it. The service is the business. The licenses are plumbing.

Projects, quoted

Migrations and projects are sold per hour and scoped in writing before anyone touches anything. Onboarding is a one-time fee.

Not billed

Rides free The seat count only counts people. All of this rides along free.
Shared mailboxes

info@ and support@ don’t count as people.

Service accounts

Automation logins ride free.

Resource calendars

Conference rooms don’t get invoiced.

Distribution lists

A list of people is a list, and lists are free.

Devices

One person with a laptop and a phone is one user.

Bring us your seat count. Leave with a number.

A fifteen-minute call gets you the per-person fee, the included list, and a straight answer on the switch.

Tier one handles the everyday. Escalation goes up our bench, and it stays our problem the whole way.

Solved

You confirm the fix

The ticket closes when you say it’s fixed, with the resolution written down for next time.

Reported

It goes on the record

Every ticket lands in your monthly report with its response and resolution times attached.

The report is the product.

MSPs get fired for one reason: at renewal time, nobody in the room can say what the fee bought. Our answer arrives every month, in writing.

Every ticket with its response and resolution time
Every onboarding and departure, dated
Every license bought, reclaimed, or renewed, with the spend
Patch coverage across every endpoint we manage
What we recommend you fix next, ranked

Renewal should be the easiest meeting of your year. Bring the last twelve reports and the decision makes itself.

Your helpdesk should know where the backups are.

Most IT providers stop at the ticket queue. CyberFortress runs backup, disaster recovery, managed detection and response, and incident response, with thousands of live recoveries behind us. Managed IT puts that bench behind your everyday requests, and one phone number in front of your worst day.

Defense to Recovery. No Gaps.

Start on a quiet Tuesday, while nothing is on fire.

Switching IT providers feels like moving houses. We bring the boxes: discovery, tenant and credential transfer, agents deployed, documentation written, named contacts introduced.
