Is managed IT right for your school?

Nobody owns IT today

Questions go to whoever is closest. We become the IT department your staff can call and admins can rely on for strategy and long term roadmaps.

A teacher covers it

Your tech person also teaches

A tech-savvy teacher fixes things between classes. We take the help desk, monitoring and planning off their plate.

Your go to moved on

Support left with one person

When the person who knew everything leaves, we learn what is in place and take over support.

Already have 1-3+ IT staff? Co-managed IT is designed for this environment where our team works alongside your IT department augmenting their skills and giving them time off when needed.

What's included

Everything a school IT department does.

A technician checking a network rack on a laptop and phone
Hardware trouble? When onsite support is included, we triage the issue, find the right parts, and help you order them. You pay only for the hardware and we'll fix the issue during our onsite visit.

Remote help desk and phone support

Staff call or open a ticket and reach our team. Remote support is part of the fixed fee.

Network and server monitoring

We watch your network and critical systems and fix issues before your staff feel them.

Device management

Staff and student devices set up, kept updated and tracked.

Planning and guidance for IT strategy

Budgets, refresh timing and a plan your board can follow.

Onsite visits, if you want them

One visit a month and emergency onsite response under your SLA, on the onsite plan.

How it starts

From first call to ongoing support.

Any time of year works. Some schools begin in summer or fall, and we have started mid-year without issue when a school lost their IT support mid-year.

FAQ

Questions about managed IT.

Who is managed IT for schools built for?

Schools with no IT staff. If your district has one to three IT staff, co-managed IT is usually the better fit.

What does the remote plan include?

Remote help desk and phone support, network and server monitoring, device management, and planning and guidance for IT strategy, starting at $600 a month.

What does the onsite plan add?

Everything in remote support, plus cybersecurity tools and licensing, one onsite visit a month and emergency onsite response under your SLA, from $1,700 a month.

Are response times in writing?

Yes. Service level agreements give you written response commitments, so you know what to expect.

Is compliance support included?

The onsite plan adds enhanced compliance and safety support. Districts with their own IT staff get FERPA and CIPA oversight through co-managed IT.

Can we start mid-year?

Yes. Schools have started with us in summer, in fall and in the middle of the school year.
