How disruptive is switching IT providers?

Less than you'd think. Most transitions complete in 2-4 weeks. Day-to-day operations continue normally - the work happens in the background.

What if our current provider is difficult?

We handle it professionally. We've dealt with uncooperative handovers before. Worst case, we rebuild what we need to - it just takes slightly longer.

Will there be a gap in support?

No - we overlap the transition period. You have support from us before the old provider fully exits.

What documentation do we need?

Ideally, passwords, network diagrams, and licensing information. But we can audit and document from scratch if needed.

How do we know you won't be the same?

Fair question. We offer monthly rolling contracts after an initial period. If we're not delivering, you're not locked in.

Thinking of Switching IT Provider?

Frustrated with your current IT company? Slow response times, unresolved issues, poor communication? Switching is easier than you think - and the relief of having IT that actually works is worth the short-term effort.

What's Causing This?

Understanding the root causes helps find the right solution

Outgrown Them

The IT person who was fine when you were 5 staff isn't equipped for your current size and complexity.

Wrong Fit

Large MSPs treating you as a small fish. One-person bands unable to scale. Wrong size for your needs.

Complacency

Initial good service degraded over time. They've stopped trying now they have the contract.

Technology Gap

They haven't kept up with modern solutions. Still recommending on-premises when cloud makes sense.
