FAQ

Managed IT in Cumming, explained

What owners and office managers in Cumming and across Forsyth County ask us most.

What does managed IT actually mean?

You hand day-to-day care of your PCs, network, logins, security and backup to one outside team on a monthly plan. The cost covers prevention as well as fixes, so problems don't come with their own invoice.

Which parts of Forsyth County do you cover?

The whole county: Cumming, South Forsyth, Halcyon, Vickery, Midway, Big Creek, Coal Mountain, the Lake Lanier side and everything along GA-400. On-site work is handled by engineers from our Alpharetta office.

How quickly will someone respond?

A senior engineer replies within one business day to anyone who reaches out. Client agreements list response times for each priority level, and the typical ticket is closed remotely before closing time.

What will managed IT cost us?

Headcount, device count and the services you want set the number. You'll see one flat monthly figure on paper after the review, and any one-off project gets its own quote first.

Do you require a multi-year commitment?

The term and exit terms are explained line by line before anything is signed. If a client wants to leave, it should be because of the service, and we want to earn the renewal instead.

We have an IT person on staff. Can you work alongside them?

Yes. A common split: your employee handles walk-up requests while we run security tools, monitoring, backups and bigger jobs. The division of duties goes into the agreement.

Can you help our medical or dental practice with HIPAA?

We put the HIPAA Security Rule's technical safeguards in place, including access control, encryption, audit logs and backups, and document them for your risk analysis. Policies and training records remain the practice's responsibility.

Our office in north Forsyth has poor internet. What can you do?

We check which providers serve your address, fix in-office problems like weak Wi-Fi or old routers, and add a second line or cellular backup when outages would stop work.

What if we get ransomware?

Infected devices come off the network first. Then we trace how far it spread, rebuild from copies the attacker couldn't reach and walk you through any calls you owe your carrier, bank, customers or patients.

Should we get rid of our server?

Often, but not always. Files and email usually move well to Microsoft 365. Certain estimating, ERP and practice systems still want a dedicated machine, either in your office or in a data center. We check every program before giving advice.
