Managed IT Services
Technology that just works.
For one flat monthly fee, your Wing runs your technology: your network, your cloud, your devices, your software. We set it up right, keep it running, and plan what's next together with you, so your people can sit down every morning and do their best work.
What Managed IT Means
One team looks after all of your technology, all the time, for one monthly fee. We watch it, patch it, back it up, fix what breaks, and, most importantly, plan what's next with you, so it's one less thing you're carrying alone.
It's the opposite of calling someone when something breaks and paying by the hour, a model that benefits from you having a bad day. Ours works the other way around: we're here to keep things running, so stopping problems before they start is our job.
That's what we do at Clever Ducks. We're a managed service provider (the industry calls it an MSP) based in San Luis Obispo, for businesses across the Central Coast, from professional services to manufacturing to nonprofits.
Every visit, every fix, and every recommendation is part of a plan we made together, headed where you want your business to go.
What We Manage
Wi-Fi and internet you never think about
We manage your network and infrastructure, from the office Wi-Fi to the servers to the internet connection, built for the business you have and the one you're growing into.
A spare copy of everything
We manage your cloud and backups: Microsoft 365, cloud servers, and a copy of everything that matters, so a deleted file, a dead laptop, or a cyberattack is something you recover from. The recovery plan is ready for the day you need it.
Software that plays nice
The software and systems your business runs on stay updated and working together. When a vendor needs a call, we make it.
Your files, where your team can find them
We look after your data and storage: where your files live, who can open them, and keeping the right people in and everyone else out.
Every device your team touches
Computers, laptops, phones, and printers: set up right, kept updated and secure, planned for before they get old and slow, and on the new hire's desk before Monday.
Red tape, covered
Compliance and security are built into all of this. If your industry has rules about data, like healthcare or legal, or your insurer sends a security questionnaire, we know what they're asking and we'll work through it with you.
Meet your Wing: your dedicated IT team.
Your Wing keeps making your technology better, so it's always moving your business where you want it to go. When something isn't working, they jump in fast. When it's time to plan what's next, they're at the table with you. Whatever comes up, it goes to people who know you, and are for you.
Personal Helpdesk
Email, the client portal, or a call: 8 to 5 on weekdays, and on call around the clock, because work doesn't always stop at 5.
Client Success
Your account manager, inside your Wing. They are thinking forward with you about strategy, budget, and what your business will need next.
No Random Joe
They know your systems, your people, and your quirks. You'll never have to explain your enviroment to a stranger.
Regular Onsite Visits
Your Wing comes to your office on a schedule, not just when something breaks: maintenance, a look at what could work better, and a face you know.
Proactive Monitoring
Your Wing keeps watch over your systems and looks past the symptom, so problems get fixed at the root instead of coming back for an encore.
Vendor Management
Stuck on hold with the internet provider again? Your Wing deals with your vendors, from internet to software to phones.
