Common Small Business IT Problems
We've Heard These Before — And We Know How to Fix Them
After 56 years serving Westchester small businesses, we know the IT challenges you're dealing with. Here's what we hear most often — and what we do about it.
The Problem
"We call our IT guy when something breaks, but he takes days to respond and we lose time every time something goes down."
Our Solution
Proactive monitoring catches most issues before they cause downtime. For issues that do happen, our help desk responds within hours — not days. You get a team, not a single person.
The Problem
"We don't know if our data is actually backed up. Our last IT person set something up years ago but we've never tested it."
Our Solution
We implement automated, cloud-based backups and test recovery quarterly — with documentation proving the restore worked. No more hoping the backup works when you need it.
The Problem
"We got a phishing email last month and one of our employees clicked it. We're worried about what could happen next time."
Our Solution
Managed email security stops most phishing before it reaches your inbox. Security awareness training and simulated phishing tests reduce the risk from the emails that do get through.
The Problem
"Our IT costs are unpredictable. We never know what we'll spend this month, and big repairs wipe out our IT budget for the year."
Our Solution
A flat monthly managed IT fee covers monitoring, maintenance, and support. No surprise invoices when something breaks — prevention and resolution are both included.

Common Questions
Small Business IT FAQs
Managed IT services become cost-effective for most businesses at 5 or more users. At that size, the flat monthly fee is typically less than what a business pays in lost productivity and emergency repair costs under a break-fix model. We've worked with businesses as small as 3 users in specialized or regulated industries where the cost of IT downtime or a security incident is particularly high. Contact us and we'll give you an honest assessment of whether managed IT makes sense for your situation.
Yes — and increasingly so. Ransomware gangs specifically target small businesses because they're perceived as easier to compromise and more likely to pay to restore operations. 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses. Phishing attacks don't check your company size before hitting your inbox. Corstar has responded to ransomware incidents at Westchester businesses as small as 8 employees. The question is not whether small businesses are targeted — it's whether they are protected.
For most small businesses in Westchester, comprehensive managed IT services run $80–$150 per user per month. A 10-person business would typically pay $800–$1,500 per month for full managed IT including cybersecurity, help desk, cloud management, and backup. That's less than the cost of one half-time employee — and you get a full team of engineers plus all the tools and infrastructure they use. We'll give you an exact number after a free assessment.
