Discover what it’s like to work with us

We have been a customer of IntelliSystems since 2007. Last year we had to install a new server and then months ahead of the original plan, install an new ERP system that also included a second server and required new computers for at least ten of my employees. IntelliSystems came up with a solution to enable us to operate with our dying server/software to close out our books for the month and were there to help get us up and running for the change.

When my employees are fiddling with computers, they are not serving our customers. The biggest benefits we’ve received since hiring IntelliSystems is the peace of mind that backups are being taken care of and that systems are being monitored for indications of impending failure. Their IntellAlert managed IT services are transparent and require very little additional input from us. Having IntelliSystems support our entire network has given everyone freedom to focus on our business.

The majority of the time when we call IntelliSystems with a ‘technical challenge’ someone immediately accesses the offending computer remotely and resolves the issue, or begins the resolution process! In our business if our computer is not functioning, we cannot work and service our clients and it is critical to have quick response time. Every individual at IntelliSystems is responsive and thorough and they ALWAYS follow-up to be sure issues are completely resolved and stay that way.

Frequently asked questions

What should I look for in an IT services provider?

When choosing an IT partner, consider these four factors: a proactive approach, strategic guidance, local expertise, and industry experience.

A proactive IT provider anticipates and prevents issues, rather than simply reacting to them. Aside from help desk support, they should also offer strategic advice to plan the long-term direction of your technology so it aligns with your business goals. What’s more, a dedicated local team ensures fast on-site support, and extensive industry experience confirms their reliability and stability.

Our managed IT services come with a predictable, flat monthly fee. This covers 24/7 monitoring, expert help desk support, robust cybersecurity management, and strategic IT planning. Our comprehensive IT management approach offers superior long-term value compared to the unpredictable expenses of a break/fix model. The precise cost is customized for each business, determined by factors such as the number of users and the specific services required. Contact us to get a personalized quote.

While traditional IT support reacts to problems after they’ve already caused downtime, our proactive approach involves actively hunting for and mitigating risks before they can impact your operations. Through advanced monitoring tools and rigorous health checks, we pinpoint potential vulnerabilities, emerging hardware failures, and misconfigurations, allowing us to resolve issues before you even know they exist.

Yes, absolutely. We offer co-managed IT services services specifically for this scenario.

Our philosophy is “IT delivered right, once and for all.” We focus on finding the root cause of a problem and implementing a permanent, reliable solution to eliminate recurring issues and establish a truly stable and dependable IT environment for your business.
