Why Kansas City businesses outsource IT

Two problems outsourced IT support solves

The two we hear most: one IT person is being asked to cover a whole business, and the last IT consultant left a report that nobody executed.

One IT person cannot cover a whole business

A single in-house IT hire takes vacations, gets sick, and cannot be an expert in networking, security, cloud and strategy at the same time.

What changesOutsourced IT support gives a Kansas City business a whole team for less than one salary, with coverage that does not stop when someone is out. Already have internal IT? Our co-managed IT model adds the team around them instead of replacing them.

Most IT consulting ends with a report

The roadmap gets written, the consultant leaves, and the people who answer your help desk never saw it.

What changesOur IT consulting is delivered by the engineers who answer your help desk, so the roadmap your vCIO builds is the one that gets executed: budgets, hardware lifecycles, cloud moves, compliance requirements and cyber insurance questionnaires, handled end to end. For mid-sized Kansas City companies with an IT manager, we work as an extension of that team, not a replacement for it.
What is included

What our outsourced IT support in Kansas City includes

One agreement, one monthly fee, one local team accountable for all of it.

01

Help desk answered by an engineer

Call, email or chat and reach a NetStandard engineer in Overland Park, not a ticket queue. Phones are answered in 13 seconds on average and 94% of calls are answered live.

02

On-site support across the metro

When a problem cannot be fixed remotely, an engineer drives to your office in Kansas City, Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Leawood, Shawnee, Lee's Summit or Independence.

03

Proactive monitoring and maintenance

Servers, workstations, network and Microsoft 365 are monitored 24/7 and patched on a schedule, so most problems are fixed before your staff notice. On one recent day our team caught 24 issues before a client did.

04

vCIO and IT strategy consulting

A named virtual CIO who maintains your technology roadmap, plans your IT budget, reviews risk and compliance, and meets with you on a schedule, so decisions are made before they become emergencies.

05

Cybersecurity built in

Endpoint protection, email and phishing defense, multi-factor authentication and security awareness training are part of the service, not an add-on. See our Kansas City cybersecurity services.

06

Microsoft 365, Azure and cloud

Licensing, migrations, security configuration and day-to-day administration of Microsoft 365 and Azure, plus Google Workspace where your business runs on it.

07

Backup and business continuity

Tested, verified backups and a recovery plan you have seen work, so an outage or ransomware event is an inconvenience instead of a crisis.

Questions

What Kansas City businesses ask about outsourced IT

How much does outsourced IT support cost in Kansas City?

Most Kansas City small and midsize businesses pay a flat monthly fee per user or per device that covers help desk, monitoring, security and planning. The number depends on headcount, locations and compliance requirements. Our managed IT pricing guide explains the ranges and what drives them, and a 30-minute call gets you a real quote.

What is the difference between outsourced IT support and managed IT services?

In practice they overlap. Outsourced IT support usually means a business without internal IT hands the whole function to a provider. Managed IT services is the program that delivers it: monitoring, maintenance, help desk, security and planning for a fixed monthly cost. NetStandard provides both from Overland Park.

Yes. Remote support resolves most issues in minutes; when hands are needed, an engineer comes on site anywhere in the Kansas City metro, including Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Leawood, Shawnee, Lee's Summit, Independence and Kansas City, Kansas.

Can you work alongside our internal IT staff?

Yes. Our co-managed IT model adds help desk, monitoring, security tooling and vCIO planning around your existing IT manager or team. They keep control of the environment and stop being the only line of defense.

How quickly will someone respond?

Phones are answered in 13 seconds on average and 94% of calls are answered live by an engineer. Emailed tickets receive a first engineer response in 9.8 minutes on average. Emergencies are covered 24/7.
