IT Services

What is included in managed IT services?

Our managed IT services include 24/7 monitoring, help desk support, regular maintenance, security updates, backup management, vendor management, strategic planning, and comprehensive reporting. We essentially become your complete IT department.

Do you provide on-site support?

Yes, we provide on-site support throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Most issues are resolved remotely for faster response, but our technicians are available for on-site visits when hands-on support is required.

Can you manage our existing IT infrastructure?

Yes. We assess the existing infrastructure, identify the platforms in scope, and create a transition plan designed to minimize disruption. Support for a specific platform is confirmed during discovery and documented in the proposal.

How quickly can you respond to IT emergencies?

Coverage and response targets vary by service plan and are documented in the applicable proposal or service agreement. The ITECS remote NOC monitors continuously, with escalation paths based on severity and scope.

Cybersecurity

What cybersecurity services do you offer?

We provide comprehensive cybersecurity including managed firewalls, endpoint detection and response, email security, penetration testing, security awareness training, incident response, and compliance consulting for frameworks like CMMC, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.

How do you protect against ransomware?

Our multi-layered approach includes advanced endpoint protection, email filtering, regular backups, user training, network segmentation, and 24/7 threat monitoring. We also maintain tested incident response procedures to minimize impact if an attack occurs.

Do you provide security awareness training?

Yes, we offer comprehensive security awareness training including simulated phishing campaigns, interactive modules, and regular updates on emerging threats. Training is customized to your industry and security requirements.

What is CMMC and do I need it?

CMMC requirements are being phased into Department of Defense solicitations and contracts. The required level and assessment type depend on the contract and whether the environment handles Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information. ITECS supports readiness work but is not a C3PAO.

Cloud Services

What cloud hosting options do you provide?

We offer private cloud, hybrid cloud, virtual desktop hosting, application hosting, and specialized solutions like QuickBooks hosting. Promus managed cloud hosting uses resilient Dallas-area infrastructure, with availability commitments documented in the applicable proposal or service agreement.

Is cloud hosting secure?

Promus managed cloud hosting combines encryption, multi-factor authentication, documented controls, and continuous monitoring. Promus managed cloud hosting operates within controls covered by a SOC 2 Type II report; that scope does not apply to the ITECS managed-services business as a whole.

Can you migrate our existing applications to the cloud?

Yes, we specialize in seamless cloud migrations. We assess your applications, create a detailed migration plan, handle all technical aspects, and ensure minimal disruption to your operations during the transition.

What is QuickBooks hosting?

QuickBooks hosting allows you to access QuickBooks Desktop from any device via the cloud. It provides multi-user access, automatic backups, enhanced security, and eliminates the need for on-premise servers while maintaining full QuickBooks functionality.

Pricing & Contracts

How is your managed IT service priced?

We offer transparent flat-rate monthly pricing based on your number of users and specific service requirements. This all-inclusive approach covers support, maintenance, monitoring, and management without surprise bills or hidden fees.

Do you require long-term contracts?

MSP Select is month-to-month with 30-day cancellation notice. MSP Pro and MSP Elite offer one-, three-, and five-year terms with renewal and notice provisions stated in the signed agreement.

What's included in the monthly fee?

Monthly fees typically include help desk support, proactive monitoring, maintenance, security updates, vendor management, regular reviews, and strategic consulting. Project work and hardware are usually separate but clearly quoted in advance.

Can you work within our IT budget?

Absolutely. We offer scalable solutions and can create a service package that fits your budget while addressing your critical needs. Many clients find our services cost less than maintaining internal IT staff.

Support & Response

What are your support hours?

MSP Pro and MSP Elite offer Daylight, Extended, and 24/7 live-support coverage options. Monitoring tools and the remote NOC operate continuously; live help desk availability follows the selected plan. MSP Select is tools-only.

How do we contact support?

Support is available via phone (214-444-7884), email (support@itecsonline.com), and our client portal. We encourage using the portal for non-urgent requests as it provides ticket tracking and faster routing to specialists.

Do you guarantee response times?

Coverage windows, priority definitions, and response targets vary by service plan and are documented in the applicable proposal or service agreement. Complex issues are routed to the appropriate assigned specialist.

Can you support remote workers?

Absolutely. We specialize in supporting distributed workforces with secure remote access, cloud-based tools, virtual desktops, and comprehensive endpoint protection. Remote workers receive the same level of support as office-based staff.
