Managed IT Services

The outsourced IT department you can trust and that you will love working with every day!

Reliable, Fully Managed IT Services

Your organization relies on IT, but IT is not your business. Your focus is on your core strengths and should not be on leading, hiring, training, and executing the many complexities of an IT department.

With Mainstay, you get a personal, core IT team that integrates with your business. We shoulder the ongoing responsibility of IT, leveraging our highly trained and diverse team to deliver exactly what you need, giving you:

  • Confidence that IT runs exactly as it should
  • Clarity for IT plans and options
  • Certainty your staff enjoy interacting with IT
  • Peace in knowing your systems are secure
  • A right-sized budget, with no surprises

Our clients receive the sophistication they need, delivered through personal teams.  We take our clients from concern and frustration around IT to rock-solid confidence.

We love working with our clients and removing the technology roadblocks to their success! We believe every organization deserves high-performing IT, delivered by caring, skilled staff.

This is what has fueled our success since 2004. All our records, awards, and steady organic growth are because our clients trust their IT and love working with their IT team.

Mainstay can help you chart out your technology future. It’s about where are you now in terms of information technology and information security, where do you want or need to be, from a compliance standpoint, and how can we get you there.

How do we provide quality IT services?

If you’ve had experience with a Managed Service Provider before, you may question whether quality can be consistent and real.

We are passionate about quality. This really, really matters to us.

We invest deeply in our team, build our culture with care, develop the processes to ensure the details happen, and structure our service so we sit on the same side of the table as our clients.  We have a full Security Operations Center and have pioneered high-security, cost-saving approaches for our clients (we are both a Managed Service Provider and a Managed Security Services Provider).  We only take on a client when we are convinced we are the best option for them.  And then we grind out the details for them, in every facet of their IT department, each day, evolving continuously.

And we root all of this on the Mainstay Way: our mission to give more than we get, and our 6 core values.

How do we work alongside existing IT departments?

For organizations that retain some on-staff IT, we expand and enhance your capabilities through co-managed IT services.  Our experience is that these relationships work best when care is taken at the beginning for fit. We look to align technology stacks, be involved in planning and guidance, and establish clear areas of responsibility.  With that structure, we can then leverage our team in a tailored way, giving you the power of a full team for a fraction of the cost of an additional staff member.  Our co-managed IT clients especially appreciate our Engineering team for guidance, projects, and specialty engineering, along with our SOC team who shoulders the responsibility of backup monitoring, patch management, and security layer response.
