Frequently asked questions

What areas around Charleston do you serve?

We support businesses across North Charleston, Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Goose Creek, Hanahan, and Ladson with on-site and remote managed IT services — with a special focus on law firms, accounting firms, healthcare providers, and non-profits.

How is a managed IT partnership different from break/fix?

Break/fix vendors only earn when something breaks — and many advertise low hourly rates while quietly billing minimum hours per ticket, so there's no incentive to fix things fast or prevent the next failure. Our flat-fee model aligns our success with your uptime: we proactively monitor, secure, and maintain your systems, and act as a long-term technology advisor rather than an on-call repair service.

Do you act as a strategic advisor, not just support?

Yes. Beyond day-to-day support and 24/7 monitoring, we serve as your virtual CIO — bringing regular technology reviews, ROI-focused recommendations, and enterprise-grade experience to help you defend technology decisions and compete with much larger firms.
