Process

How the work moves from survey to support

Network Assessment

We visit your offices to inventory every device, assess network infrastructure, evaluate cybersecurity posture, and understand your business workflows. This is the foundation for a managed IT plan that actually fits your organization, not a generic template.

Design and Scope

Our engineering team creates a detailed IT roadmap: priority fixes, ongoing maintenance schedules, security hardening steps, and a fixed monthly price. You see exactly what is included and what it costs before you sign anything.

Deploy and Standardize

We deploy monitoring agents, configure firewalls, install endpoint protection, set up automated patching, and establish backup routines across every device. Our NH-based engineers handle the full deployment, including cabling, fiber, and network configuration.

Ongoing Support and Optimization

Your help desk is live. Your monitoring is active. Your patches are automated. We hold quarterly business reviews to align technology with your goals, adjust the roadmap, and keep your IT budget predictable.

Managed IT vs. Break-Fix Support

Managed IT (Arcomm)

  • Proactive 24/7 monitoring: problems detected and resolved before downtime
  • Fixed monthly cost: no surprise invoices when something breaks
  • Includes help desk, patching, security, backup, and strategic planning
  • 15-minute response SLA for critical issues
  • Quarterly business reviews to align IT with your goals
VS

Break-Fix IT Support

  • Reactive: you call when something is already broken
  • Hourly billing: unpredictable costs, quiet month $200, server failure $5,000
  • No monitoring, no patching, no proactive maintenance
  • Response time depends on provider availability
  • No strategic planning: IT decisions are made in crisis mode

For most NH businesses with 10+ workstations, managed IT delivers lower total cost and dramatically less downtime.

What Makes Managed IT Different from Break-Fix

Break-fix IT means you call someone when something is broken. Managed IT means we monitor your systems continuously, patch vulnerabilities before they are exploited, and resolve issues before you even notice them. The difference shows up in three places: downtime drops to near zero, cybersecurity incidents are prevented rather than reacted to, and your technology budget becomes predictable instead of a series of expensive surprises.

Our monitoring platform watches every server, switch, and access point on your network. When a disk fills up, a service stops, or a suspicious login occurs, our engineers are alerted and responding before your staff picks up the phone.

Managed Network Infrastructure

Your network is the backbone of every business operation, and most organizations do not realize how fragile it is until it fails. We manage your entire network infrastructure: switches, firewalls, access points, VLANs, and VoIP phone systems. We deploy Ubiquiti networking equipment for enterprise-grade performance without enterprise pricing, and we support Cisco, Meraki, and other platforms for businesses with existing infrastructure.

Every managed IT agreement includes network monitoring, firmware updates, configuration backups, and a 15-minute response SLA for critical outages.

Cybersecurity Built into Every Plan

Cybersecurity is not an add-on, it is foundational to managed IT. Every Arcomm managed IT agreement includes endpoint detection and response (EDR) that stops ransomware, malware, and fileless attacks in real time. We enforce multi-factor authentication across all user accounts, manage your firewall rules, apply security patches automatically, and run DNS filtering to block malicious domains before they load.

For regulated industries, healthcare, finance, government contracting, we offer advanced SIEM monitoring, compliance reporting, and policy development that maps to your regulatory framework. We also manage physical security systems and access control as part of a unified security posture.

Backup, Disaster Recovery, and Business Continuity

Data loss from ransomware, hardware failure, or human error can shut a business down permanently. We deploy automated backup solutions with local appliance storage plus encrypted off-site replication. Backups are tested quarterly with full restore drills, because a backup you have never restored is not a backup, it is a hope.

For organizations that cannot tolerate any downtime, we offer business continuity solutions with instant virtualization, your servers spin up in the cloud within minutes of a hardware failure, keeping your team working while we repair the primary system.

Cloud Migration and Microsoft 365

We migrate businesses to Microsoft 365 and Azure at a pace that makes sense for their operations, not a forced timeline that generates consulting hours. Email, file storage, collaboration, and identity management all move to the cloud with proper security configuration, user training, and data verification. We have completed Microsoft 365 migrations for businesses ranging from 10 to 200 users across New Hampshire, and we manage the ongoing licensing, security policies, and optimization that keep the platform performing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in managed IT services?

Our managed IT covers help desk support, proactive server and network monitoring, cybersecurity (EDR, MFA, firewall management), automated patch management, backup and disaster recovery, and strategic IT planning through vCIO services. Think of us as your complete outsourced IT department.

Do you replace our current IT person or work alongside them?

Either approach works. Some clients keep an on-site IT coordinator and use us for higher-level engineering, security, and 24/7 monitoring. Others outsource everything to us. We tailor the engagement to your team structure and budget.

How fast is your help desk response?

Our standard SLA is 15-minute response for critical issues (server down, network outage) and 2-hour response for standard tickets. Most issues are resolved same-day. You speak with an NH-based engineer, not a script reader in a call center.

What cybersecurity protections are included?

Every managed IT agreement includes endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed firewall, multi-factor authentication enforcement, automated patch management, DNS filtering, and quarterly security awareness training. We also offer advanced SIEM monitoring and compliance reporting for regulated industries.

How do you handle backups and disaster recovery?

We deploy automated backups with local appliance storage plus off-site replication. Backups are tested quarterly with full restore drills. Recovery time objectives are documented in your IT plan, typically 4 hours for critical systems and 24 hours for full environment recovery.

Can managed IT services work with our existing network equipment?

Yes. We manage and monitor existing infrastructure from all major vendors. If your network needs upgrades, we provide honest recommendations, no forced vendor lock-in. We support Ubiquiti, Cisco, Meraki, and other enterprise platforms.

How much do managed IT services cost in NH?

Per-workstation managed IT runs $100–$200 per month including help desk, monitoring, patch management, and security. Per-server management is $200–$400 per month depending on the server's role and complexity. vCIO strategic planning is included in managed IT agreements. Annual cybersecurity audits range from $1,500–$4,000. Network upgrade consultations are free.
