What's included

Six things, done every week, so your team never thinks about IT.

Monitoring and patching

Every workstation, server and network device checked and updated on a schedule, with a record you can read.

Help desk

Email or open a ticket. The same small team answers, and they already know your office, your printers and your people.

Onboarding and offboarding

A new hire gets a working laptop, accounts and the right file access on day one. A departure gets closed out the same day.

Security basics

Endpoint protection, multifactor sign-in and email filtering are part of the agreement, not an add-on.

Vendor and license management

We hold the relationship with your internet provider, software vendors and hardware suppliers so you don't.

Quarterly review

What broke, what changed, what is aging out, and what next quarter should fix. One page, in plain language.

Devices

Office computers, phones and printers, set up and managed.

Laptops and desktops

Mac and Windows laptops and desktops set up, encrypted and enrolled before the first day, with the person's accounts, files and apps ready.

Docks, monitors and workstations

Docks, displays, keyboards and webcams set up at each desk, so a new hire sits down to a working station, not a box.

Phones and tablets

iPhones, Android phones and iPads enrolled for work, with company email and apps kept separate from personal data.

Mobile device management

Every device enrolled in MDM: encryption, updates and passcodes enforced, apps pushed, and a lost or departed device locked or wiped remotely.

Printers and scanners

Network printers and multifunction scanners installed, with scan-to-email and scan-to-folder set up and drivers on every computer.

Replacements and handovers

When a device fails or someone leaves, the device is replaced or wiped, data is moved, and you get a record of what that person had.

How support works

From the first ticket to the quarterly review.

01
You reach us

Email helpdesk@regent5.com or use the support page. Clients on service agreements can reach remote support 24/7.

02
We fix it remotely

Most issues are resolved over a remote session. You see who is working on it and when it closed.

03
We come on site

Hardware, network and installation work is done in person from San Carlos, by our engineers and our install crew.

04
We review

Every quarter you get a short written review and a list of what to budget for next.

The difference

When the office moves, the help desk comes with its own crew.

Regent5 IT is the managed IT division of Regent5, LLC, a C10 and C7 licensed contractor. When you take new space, add a conference room or want cameras on the door, the people who support your users are part of the company that pulls the cable and mounts the hardware. One contact, one permit, one invoice.

Straight talk

What this service does not do.

Saying it here saves a conversation later.

No guaranteed response times on the website

Response targets are written into your agreement, where they can be measured, not into marketing copy.

No compliance certifications sold as a product

We run the practical controls a small office needs. If you need a formal audit program, we will tell you and point you to the right partner.

No call center

The IT team is small on purpose. You will deal with the same people, who know your office.

Who it's for

Written for your kind of office.

Questions

About managed IT

What does managed IT cost?

It depends on the number of people and devices, the number of locations and the security level you need. We quote after a short assessment.

Do you provide on-site support?

Yes. Everyday issues go through the remote help desk. Engineers and the install crew come on site from San Carlos for hardware, network and installation work.

Can you take over from our current provider?

Yes. We document what is in place, collect credentials and licenses, and run both providers in parallel for a short handover.

Do you take one-off projects?

Yes. A network diagnostic, a conference room, a device rollout or an office move can start under a quick install or service agreement, without signing up for ongoing managed IT.

What happens after hours?

Clients on service agreements have 24/7 remote support. The help desk itself runs Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm.

Is there a minimum size?

Most clients are 5 to 50 people. Smaller firms with high stakes, such as a two-partner law office, are a good fit.
