There are many definitions for Managed Information Technology Services that range from the most basic support services to completely hosted environments. Our interpretation of Managed Services is a product we call ProActive Support. ProActive Support has many advantages for small businesses that:

• Have a desire to own their own equipment
• Want the ability to more accurately project quarterly IT expenses
• Too few employees to justify hiring a full-time IT staff
• Requiring a level of technical support expertise requiring years of technical exposure and certification
• Requiring same-day response to mission critical issues that affect productivity

ProActive Support was developed at WinTech to answer a growing need for timely support and the type of proactive maintenance that is proven to prevent:

• Firmware related issues
• Operating system crashes
• Malware and virus infections
• Phishing attacks
• E-mail borne threats
• and other Internet-based service attacks

Multiple ProActive Support plans are available based on the number of computers covered under the plan and the desired Service Level Agreement (SLA). All are affordable and considerably less that it would cost to hire a single IT employee. What you get is the ability to set a realistic annual IT budget, less payroll and benefit overhead, and reliable support from a team of certified technicians and engineers rather than one employee or a single-person technical contractor. We strive to create overlap and knowledge transfer to increase effective coverage. If tasked, we greatly prefer to create detailed documentation of network structure, topology, and device configurations.

What sets WinTech apart from most small business providers is our affiliations with Apple, Dell, Microsoft , and Cisco. We keep an inventory of Dell business-class desktops and laptops to eliminate special order wait times. What’s more, we offer Cisco Voice over IP (VoIP) phone systems that can be covered under the same ProActive Support as the computer network hardware. There are two benefits; a single provider for voice and data, and cost savings over standard per-line phone services.
