IT that stays fixed.
I'm Chris Lancaster. I run the IT for 60+ businesses across the Central Valley — monitoring, security, servers, networks, and the phone call when something breaks. No contracts. Every plan is month to month, because I'd rather earn your business than lock it in.
Three plans. The trade-offs are in writing.
Nobody puts the downsides on a sales page. I do, because the right plan for your business might be my cheapest one — and I'll tell you so.
Silver
Best for: a stable office with a handful of computers that wants professional monitoring and security without paying for labor it rarely uses.
- 24/7 monitoring and managed endpoint security
- Monthly patching, critical fixes inside 72 hours
- Microsoft 365 administration
- Backup monitoring and alerts
- Business-hours help desk — you call, I answer
- Hands-on repairs and projects billed hourly
The honest trade-off: a rough month of repairs can cost more than a flat-rate plan would have.

Best for: businesses that depend on uptime — servers, multiple locations, compliance requirements, or anywhere an hour of downtime costs real money.
- Everything in Silver
- All labor included — remote and onsite
- 24/7 priority incident response
- Servers and network fully managed
- Same bill in a quiet month and a disaster month
- Executive reviews and an annual security roadmap
The honest trade-off: in a quiet year, you'll pay for peace of mind you didn't "use."
Get a Gold quotePlatinum
Best for: owners who want to start the day already knowing what changed overnight, what's about to expire, and what's about to fail.
- Everything in Gold
- Nightly automated scans of your whole environment
- Monthly business review in plain English
- License waste and surprise renewals caught
- Aging hardware flagged months before it fails
The honest trade-off: the value compounds over months, not days — and I only run it for a few clients at once.

What I handle
Six things every small business needs done right. One person accountable for all of them.
Network Solutions
Design, install, and manage the network your business actually runs on — wired, wireless, firewall, and remote sites — so it stays fast and stays up.
How I handle itCybersecurity & Protection
Managed endpoint security, patching, and Microsoft 365 hardening on every covered device — the fundamentals that stop most breaches before they start.
How I handle itIT Infrastructure & Support
Workstations, servers, printers, and the day-to-day questions — handled by one engineer who already knows your setup.
How I handle itDisaster Recovery & Backup
Backups that are monitored, tested, and restorable — because a backup nobody has verified is a hope, not a plan.
How I handle itCloud & Virtual Solutions
Microsoft 365 administration, migrations off aging servers, and virtualization when a physical box no longer makes sense.
How I handle itCustom Tech Builds & End-User Support
Purpose-built workstations, specialty hardware, and hands-on help for the people who use it all.
How I handle it“On hourly IT, your provider earns more when things break. On my flat-rate plans, I earn more when they don't. Pick the plan where my incentives match yours.”
