Managed Services

Simplify the complex.Then keep it that way.

Most managed IT keeps the lights on and counts the tickets. We start with your people and how your business works, then run the technology around them. People, process and technology, working as one.

A different starting point

Traditional managed services are built around devices and tickets. Our working premise is that the business is the thing being managed.

What you get

  • Clarity.

    You know where you stand: what's protected, what's exposed, and what matters next. In plain language, not a pile of reports.

  • People who can get on with the work.

    New hires ready on day one, quick answers when something breaks, and less time lost to technology.

  • A business that's protected.

    Devices, email and Microsoft 365 accounts watched around the clock, so a bad click is caught early instead of becoming a bad week.

  • Fewer repeat problems.

    We read the tickets as information about how your business works, and fix the cause so the same issue stops coming back.

  • Options, not dependence.

    Your environment is documented and visible to you. You stay in control of your technology instead of feeling held hostage by it.

Where are you starting from?

First time with managed IT

From "someone here handles it" to knowing where you stand.

Maybe it's the office manager, a part time IT person, or nobody in particular. We start by showing you what's in place, what's exposed and what to fix first. Then we run it.

In the middle of a transition

Land on your feet, with eyes open.

A spin out, an acquisition, a separation from a parent company, or two tenants becoming one. We show you what you're inheriting, move it, and run it once it lands.

How we simplify it

  1. See it.

    A baseline view of your people, process and technology, and how they connect.

  2. Simplify it.

    Onboard, clean up and document, so there's less to manage and less that can go wrong.

  3. Run it.

    Help desk, security, patching and monitoring, every month, with one accountable team.

  4. Improve it.

    Patterns in the work become fixes. A little better every month, not just maintained.

Behind the outcomes

A security and support foundation built on established platforms:

  • Business hours remote help desk
  • User onboarding and offboarding
  • Device patching and monitoring
  • Managed endpoint protection with a 24/7 security operations center
  • Email and collaboration security with data loss prevention
  • Microsoft 365 identity monitoring and backup
  • Servers, firewalls and wireless managed as part of the plan

Recent engagements

Out from under a parent company, on deadline.

A specialty insurance firm separating from its parent agency. Their systems lived inside the parent's tenant. We mapped what they were inheriting, moved them into their own environment, and now run it day to day.

Two tenants, one accountable team.

A firm running servers, virtual desktops and Azure across two Microsoft tenants. We brought the whole environment under one managed plan, with one team who sees all of it.

When the business needs more than support

Simpolar started as a consulting practice, and that's still in the room. Because we run your environment, we see where technology is holding the business back. When it's time to fix that, the same team takes on the project.

  • Dynamics 365
  • Power Platform
  • Azure and AVD
  • Migrations
  • Tenant consolidation
