Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to be a managed client for consulting?
No. Consulting is available on its own for a project, such as an office move or a server replacement. Managed IT clients get proactive planning included in their plan.
Are cloud services right for a small business?
Often, but not always. Cloud is a good fit for email, file sharing and backup. Some line-of-business applications still run better locally. We look at your actual software before recommending a move.
How do you charge for consulting?
Hourly or per project, agreed up front. The free on-site evaluation is the usual starting point.
We review your computers, network, backups and security at your office and give you a clear plan and price.

He also has something I am not sure a lot of experts in his field have, which is honesty. If he can save you money, he suggests just that. To sum it up, you can’t find a better person for the job.”
“We have been working with you for over 13 years. You have access to our building and maintain our server 24/7, 365 days a year. You provide quality service at an affordable price. There have been times you get a call from us in the early morning hours and are there to help us through it.”
“Rick Lorello has been our IT provider for 7+ years. We do not have a full-time employee dedicated to IT. Rick does a great job making sure we never have downtime and is always available for our upgrades and troubleshooting. We would struggle with our business if we did not have him available to us.”
