For Des Moines businesses replacing an in-house IT role, filling a gap the current provider will not, or bringing in executive-level IT leadership for a plan or a project. Delivered from our downtown Des Moines office by engineers who answer the phone.
Describe the gap or the project. A NetStandard engineer, not a salesperson, follows up the same business day.
Outsourcing is rarely a strategy decision. It is usually one of these.
One employee held every password, every vendor relationship and the plan. Now the plan is in their head and their notice period is two weeks.
The current provider fixes what breaks, but no one is budgeting, no one owns the roadmap, and the cyber insurance renewal asked questions nobody could answer.
Take one, take all seven, or move to a managed IT plan that bundles them.
Unlimited support by phone, email and portal, a person answering in 13 seconds on average, 94% of calls answered live, after hours included.
Engineers across the Des Moines metro for hardware, network, printers, conference rooms and anything that needs hands on equipment.
Office moves, server and cloud migrations, Microsoft 365 rollouts, network refreshes and hardware lifecycles, quoted as fixed-price projects.
Executive-level IT leadership: quarterly business reviews, a technology roadmap tied to your goals, and a budget you can defend to your partners or board.
Plain-language assessments of security, backup and compliance posture, mapped to cyber insurance, HIPAA, PCI or CJIS requirements, with a prioritized fix list.
Licensing right-sized, security hardened, data backed up, and a clear answer on what belongs in Azure, what stays on site, and what it costs.
We hold the internet, phone, software and hardware vendors accountable so you stop being the middleman on every ticket.
Most Des Moines businesses between 10 and 250 employees cannot justify a full-time CIO, so the role is nobody's, and technology decisions happen one purchase at a time. A NetStandard vCIO takes the role on a fraction of the cost: quarterly business reviews with measurable outcomes, an annual IT budget, a roadmap for security, cloud and hardware, and ownership of vendor contracts and renewals.
Consulting stands alone when you need a plan, an assessment or a project delivered. It is also built into every managed IT plan, which is why clients who start with a consulting engagement often move to managed IT services in Des Moines when the roadmap turns into ongoing work.
Everything is delivered by the same engineers and the same 24/7 desk that support our managed clients, from our downtown Des Moines office and the Overland Park headquarters that has done this since 1996.
Fixed scope, fixed price, and a written result you keep whether or not you continue.
Call (515) 858-0600 or send the form with the gap or the project. An engineer follows up the same business day.
We inventory your environment, interview the people who touch IT, and write down what we found and what we would do first.
You choose the scope: a project, a monthly support role, or a managed IT plan. Onboarding is documented, audited (SOC 2 Type 2) and built to survive staff changes.
"I emailed NetStandard this morning at 5:40am when I discovered our internet was off-line. Adam Heuser responded right back... During my production meeting around 7:15am I received an email from Adam letting me know it was restored. Well done, I didn't expect a response that early in the morning."
Ron SkaggsGoogle review, 2026"We have used NetStandard for several years now and... the service I receive is always fast! They always take the time to make sure I am satisfied with their solutions, and they are quick to get problems resolved! It's comforting to know they are there for our IT needs!"
Julie CombsGoogle review, 2026"They are amazing and quick. Service is always within 24 hours and they follow up to ensure everything works as it should. Would recommend to anyone needing a competent, friendly and efficient IT company."
Heather McCoyGoogle review, 2026"We turned to NetStandard after experiencing an internal IT failure, and their team responded swiftly, dedicating countless hours to getting us back up and running... We often feel like we are their only customer... As a government agency, we operate under strict laws and guidelines for technology security, and NetStandard has consistently met and exceeded those standards."
Miami County, Kansas Sheriff's Office, Google reviewOutsourced IT support replaces or extends an internal IT role with NetStandard's team: helpdesk, on-site support, projects and planning, scoped to what you need. Managed IT services is the standard package that does all of it on one monthly fee. Many Des Moines businesses start with outsourced support for one gap and move to managed IT services in Des Moines once they see the difference.
Yes. That is the most common reason Des Moines businesses call us. We document the environment during a structured onboarding, take over the helpdesk and the vendor relationships, and assign an IT director so planning does not stop when the individual leaves.
A vCIO owns the technology roadmap: quarterly business reviews, an annual IT budget, vendor and contract management, risk and compliance assessments, and a plan for Microsoft 365, cloud and security that matches where the business is going. It is executive-level IT leadership without a full-time executive salary.
Ongoing support is priced as a flat monthly fee based on users, devices and scope; consulting and projects are quoted as a fixed price or a block of hours. Our pricing guide explains what drives the monthly number, and a discovery call gives you an exact quote.
Yes. Our Des Moines office is at 204 12th Street, Suite 205, downtown, and engineers go on site across the metro for hardware, network and office-move work. Most day-to-day support is resolved remotely within minutes.
Cyber insurance questionnaires, HIPAA, PCI, CJIS for public agencies, and financial and insurance regulatory expectations are the ones Des Moines businesses ask about most. NetStandard's own operations are SOC 2 Type 2 audited.
