What makes Simplistic IT different from other DFW IT companies?

FAQ

Managed IT Services

What are managed IT services?

Managed IT services are an arrangement where an outside provider takes ongoing responsibility for your technology, including monitoring, maintenance, security, support and planning, for a recurring fee. You get the capability of a full IT department without having to hire one.

How much do managed IT services cost in Dallas?

Pricing depends on the number of users and devices and the services you need. Simplistic IT Solutions charges a fixed monthly rate that is agreed on in advance, so your costs stay predictable. Call 972-829-3457 or request a free assessment for a quote tailored to your business.

Do you offer onsite support?

Yes. Our office is in Lewisville, TX, and technicians provide onsite support throughout Dallas–Fort Worth, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Arlington, Carrollton and Denton County.

Can you work alongside our existing IT person?

Yes. Many clients use us as co-managed IT. Your internal staff keep control of strategy and day-to-day priorities, and we provide monitoring tools, after-hours coverage, escalation support and project capacity.

How quickly can we get started?

Most businesses are fully onboarded within two to four weeks. We begin with an assessment, document your environment and deploy our monitoring and security tools, then take over support.

FAQ

Cybersecurity Services

Are small businesses really targeted by hackers?

Yes. Small and mid-sized businesses are frequent targets because they often have valuable data but fewer defenses than large enterprises. Phishing, business email compromise and ransomware are the most common threats we see in DFW.

What is included in a cybersecurity risk assessment?

A risk assessment reviews your network, devices, user accounts, email security, backups and policies. You receive a written report that ranks the findings by risk and gives clear, prioritized recommendations.

Do you provide 24/7 security monitoring?

Yes. Endpoints, firewalls and Microsoft 365 accounts are monitored around the clock, and threats are investigated and contained at any hour.

Can you help us meet cyber-insurance requirements?

Yes. Insurers commonly require multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, tested backups and security training. We put these controls in place and help you document them for your application.

Is cybersecurity included in your managed IT plans?

Yes. Core security controls are built into every Simplistic IT managed services plan. Advanced services such as penetration testing and compliance support can be added as needed.

FAQ

IT Consulting

What does an IT consultant do for a small business?

An IT consultant assesses your current technology, recommends improvements that match your goals and budget, and manages projects such as network upgrades, office moves and cloud migrations from planning through completion.

Can you help us move to a new office?

Yes. We coordinate internet service, cabling, Wi-Fi, phones, printers and workstation setup so your team can work normally on the first day in the new space.

Do I need a managed IT contract to hire you for a project?

No. IT consulting and project work are available on their own. Many project clients later choose managed IT services, but it is not required.

How do you price IT projects?

Projects are scoped and quoted in advance, with a fixed price or a clear estimate, so you know the cost before work begins.
