What exactly is Managed IT, and do I really need it for my small business?

Think of us as your full-time, in-house tech team without the huge salary price tag. Instead of waiting for something to break and charging you high hourly rates to fix it, we proactively manage, secure, and monitor your computers, networks, and software for a predictable flat monthly fee.

How fast do you respond when we have a technical problem?

When technology breaks, work stops—and we get that. When you call 260 IT, you reach a real person who can jump on your issue right away. Most routine tickets are handled within minutes, and critical outages trigger an immediate emergency response.

We already have an in-house IT person. Can 260 IT still help us?

Absolutely! We offer co-managed IT services. We can handle the repetitive background tasks like cybersecurity, backups, and software updates so your internal team can focus on big-picture business projects.

How does 260 IT handle cybersecurity and data protection?

We build multi-layered defenses for your business: real-time virus and ransomware protection, spam filtering, employee security training, and automatic daily backups so you're covered even if the worst happens.

Are we locked into long-term contracts?

No trap doors or rigid long-term lock-ins. We earn your business every month through reliable service, fast response times, and honest communication.
