Managed Services: IT Support, Consulting, and Technology Services
Hassle Free IT Support for a Fixed Cost…
IT is a bright idea
If your company had to hire a full-time tech to support your network would he or she be able to provide unlimited network support? Could they monitor all of your systems around the clock? Provide Windows and Antivirus updates? Manage your backups? How about pay for your software licensing and provide Cloud services? Would their salary also include the cost of new computers?
Dorset Connects’ “Hassle-Free IT” is a complete paradigm shift in how businesses manage and budget their technology. For one fixed monthly investment, your company can have ALL of its IT Support and technology needs taken care of! Even better, with a team of technology support experts supporting your business, you never have to worry about your network calling out sick!
Our Proactive Services Agreement (PSA) provides several support options to fit your requirements – whether it is helping your existing staff, or providing a full IT support solution, we have the tools and know how to “right-size” your IT budget.
