Core Plan
Protected
From $44 / workstation / mo
Monitoring, security, and maintenance on every covered workstation. You approve labor as needs come up.
Monthly managed plans
Managed IT plans for Hibbing and Northern Minnesota
Monthly plans for the workstations and servers your business runs on. Core protects the fleet. Standard manages day-to-day IT. Pair with managed IT services as you need them.
The difference
Break-fix chaos vs managed calm
When IT is whoever answers first
Passwords on sticky notes, mystery pop-ups, and “the guy who used to help us” went dark. Every outage becomes a scramble.
- Unread alerts
- Expired antivirus
- No backup test
- Surprise invoices
- Friday outage
When coverage is planned
Monitoring watches the fleet, patches land on schedule, and your team knows how to ask for help. Labor rules match the plan you chose.
- Watched endpoints
- Current patches
- Restore-ready backups
- Clear ticket path
- Predictable costs

Standard Plan
Managed
From $85 / workstation / mo
Day-to-day IT on every covered workstation—proactive fixes and Windows troubleshooting included, so common issues get handled without an hourly meter for covered work.
Everything in Core, plus:
Server Standard Plan
From $161.50 / server / mo
Monthly coverage for servers—monitoring, enterprise-grade antivirus, automated backups, and priority support when uptime and recoverability matter most.
- Remote monitoring & management
- Enterprise-grade antivirus with real-time threat detection
- Automated daily backups with secure offsite storage
- Disaster recovery & point-in-time restore options
- Priority expert support for rapid issue resolution
We work to keep servers secure, backed up, and running well—so you can reduce downtime risk and recover faster when something goes wrong. No provider can promise zero outages, but this plan is built around the protections that matter most on server infrastructure.

Common questions
- What’s included in Core?
- Monitoring, security, patching, and help desk on each covered workstation. Technician labor is pay-as-you-go at plan rates.
- When should we choose Standard?
- When you want common day-to-day Windows work handled without starting an hourly meter for covered issues.
- Remote or on-site?
- Remote first when it’s fastest. On-site from Hibbing when hands-on is required—serving the Iron Range and Northern Minnesota.
- How do we know which mix we need?
- Start with a free assessment. We size workstations, servers, and priorities—then recommend a path.
