What we run for you

Seven areas. One team.

Fully managed IT covers all seven. Co-managed IT covers the parts your in-house team wants help with.

Help desk

Your team emails support@bostonmit.com, uses the client portal, or calls. A named engineer who knows your setup answers, and most issues are fixed remotely while people keep working. Anything complex goes to a senior engineer.

What you get

Computers and devices

Monitoring and management software runs on every computer. We patch Windows, macOS, and common applications on a schedule, keep endpoint security current, and set every new device up to the same standard.

What you get

  • Every device patched, protected, and inventoried
  • Problems flagged by monitoring before users notice
  • New computers set up and ready on day one

Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace

We run your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace: users, licenses, email, file sharing, and Teams or Meet. Sign-ins are protected with multi-factor authentication, and on Microsoft 365 with Conditional Access through Entra ID.

What you get

  • Secure sign-in policies, configured and kept current
  • Licenses reviewed so you are not paying for unused seats
  • Staff onboarding and offboarding handled the same day

Network and Wi-Fi

Firewalls, switches, and wireless are monitored and maintained. When the internet goes down, we call your provider and stay on it until it is fixed. When something needs hands, we come on site from Waltham.

What you get

  • Network monitored, with configs backed up
  • Your internet provider handled for you
  • On-site help across Greater Boston

Backup and recovery

Workstation and server backups are priced per device, so you only pay for what needs protecting. Every backup is monitored, a failed job raises an alert to an engineer, and restores are tested.

What you get

  • Backups that are watched, not assumed
  • Restore testing, so recovery works when you need it
  • Clear pricing: $10 per workstation, $20 per server

Security

Endpoint security, managed detection and response (MDR), patching, and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace hardening are part of fully managed IT. DNS filtering, email security, awareness training, and logging are add-ons with published prices.

What you get

  • MDR watching every managed device around the clock
  • Add-ons priced on the pricing page
  • Controls documented for HIPAA, FINRA, and cyber insurance

Planning and budgeting

We keep a hardware lifecycle list, review licensing, plan security improvements, and coordinate your other technology vendors, so the budget conversation has numbers behind it.

What you get

  • A plan for what to replace and when
  • Licensing and vendor costs reviewed
  • Microsoft, internet providers, phone carriers, and software and hardware vendors handled for you

  • A security roadmap and risk register you can act on
  • Reporting for your board, your cyber insurer, and due diligence when you raise, renew, or get acquired

See everything vCIO includes

Not included

What costs extra, stated up front.

Hardware and software

Computers, network gear, and software licenses are billed at cost or passed through. We help you buy the right thing.

Projects

Office moves, migrations, and network refreshes are scoped up front and billed at $165 per hour.

Guaranteed after-hours response

Every client gets best-effort help after hours. Guaranteed after-hours response times come with the After-Hours Critical Support add-on.

Onboarding

Onboarding depends on the size and state of your environment, so it is scoped and quoted before you sign.

How support works

Who answers, and how fast.

A named engineer answers, with a median email first response of 12 minutes. Most issues are fixed remotely, complex ones go to a senior engineer, and we come on site when it needs hands. Everything is documented, so coverage never depends on one person.
