The problem

One IT person
can't do everything.

Your in-house IT person is talented — but they're fielding tickets, managing vendors, handling security, training users, and trying to plan ahead. Something always gets dropped. That's not a people problem. It's a capacity problem.

🔥
Help desk burnoutYour IT staff gets buried in tier-1 tickets, leaving no time for strategic work.
🌙
After-hours coverage gapsIssues at 6 PM go unresolved until morning — or your IT person takes the call anyway.
📉
No one managing the managerIn-house IT lacks a supervisor focused on performance, process, and improvement.
💸
Hiring is expensiveA second full-time IT hire costs $55K–$85K/yr. A co-managed partner costs a fraction of that.
What we offer

Two ways to
partner with us.

Help Desk Services

What we handle
while others sleep.

Dedicated evening support 5PM–10PM. Issues don't wait until morning — neither do we.

📋
Zero Next-Day Backlog

Your team starts fresh at 8AM — not buried under last night's unresolved issues.

💰
Predictable Pricing

No inflated after-hours emergency fees. Block-hour rates, paid in advance, no surprises.

WiFi troubleshooting

Why Evening Support Matters
Employees notice problems after hours when they slow down
Remote & hybrid workers operate on flexible evening schedules
Updates, installs, and maintenance happen after business hours
Small business owners handle admin tasks at night
Most IT companies shut down at 5PM — leaving you stranded

When issues strike after hours, we take action immediately so your team starts fresh at 8 AM.

Who this is for

Built for teams that
need a partner.

🧑‍💻

Solo IT Person

Burning out on tickets, projects, vendors, and strategy all at once. We take the overflow and give you leadership support.

🏢

Small IT Team (2–4)

Handles day-to-day well but lacks management structure, SLAs, or a roadmap. A Fractional HDM changes that.

🏗️

Growing Business

You've outgrown "one IT person handles it all" but aren't ready for a second full-time hire. Co-managed IT bridges that gap.

📦

MSP Overflow Partner

Your MSP doesn't cover evenings or weekends. We fill the gaps without disrupting your existing relationship.

Client requirements

What you need
before we start.

To co-manage your environment effectively, we require that the following foundational systems are already in place with active licenses and active vendor support.

☁️
Microsoft 365

Active M365 Business subscription required. Email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive tools we support every day.

ACTIVE LICENSE REQUIRED
🖥️
Server (if applicable)

Windows Server must be on a supported version with an active Microsoft support lifecycle.

SUPPORTED VERSION ONLY
🔥
Firewall

Business-grade firewall with an active support contract. We work directly with your firewall vendor to resolve issues.

ACTIVE SUPPORT CONTRACT
🔀
Managed Switch

A managed network switch from a recognized vendor. Consumer-grade unmanaged switches are not supported.

MANAGED SWITCH REQUIRED
📦
Software Licenses

All business-critical software must have active, legitimate licenses. We do not support pirated or expired software.

LICENSED & COMPLIANT ONLY
🤝
Vendor Support Access

You authorize us to contact your vendors on your behalf — Microsoft, ISP, firewall, software publishers, and hardware manufacturers.

AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED
💡

Not sure if you qualify? That's what the IT Health Check is for. During our initial onsite visit we'll inventory your environment, flag anything that needs to be resolved, and give you a clear picture — no obligation.

📋

Contract note: If a license or support contract lapses during an active engagement, our obligation to support that system pauses until the license is renewed. All engagements require a signed service agreement.

⚠️
Best-Effort Support — Unlicensed Systems
If software, firewall, or servers are not properly licensed at time of support
Emergency Rate appliesHigher hourly rate billed at emergency pricing for the duration of the incident.
🚫No guarantee of resolutionWe will attempt to assist but cannot commit to a fix on unlicensed or unsupported systems.
🛡️No liability for data loss or downtimeExpeditious IT is not responsible for any loss resulting from work on unlicensed systems.
🔁Temporary onlyBest-effort support is available only until licensing is renewed. Full support resumes once compliance is restored.
