In detail

Everything the agreement covers.

Proactive IT network management

CDS automates the daily, weekly and monthly tasks that keep your systems updated — remote monitoring set to your schedule. Updating continually stops most problems before they start; the rest come in as tickets by phone, email or the support portal, are triaged by severity, and are worked from a priority-based queue by our Illinois-based Managed Support Team — remotely first, with an engineer dispatched when a fix needs hands on site.

  • Network assessment & inventory
  • Proactive systems management
  • Microsoft patch management
  • Virus & spyware prevention
  • Real-time network monitoring
  • 24×7 remote support
  • Monthly executive summary

Transparent assessments & reporting

New clients start with a full network assessment and inventory, so we can build a plan around your needs. Monthly executive summaries then cover security vulnerabilities, licensing renewals and asset inventory — full transparency, month to month.

Expert outsourced IT management

Staffing an in-house IT department is costly and, for many businesses, impractical. Outsource to CDS and get a full team of certified professionals with an expansive toolset, at a fraction of the cost of hiring internally.

  • Knowledgeable, vetted technicians
  • Strategy from a full team of experts
  • Always monitoring and caring for your network

Servers and other IT products

From Network Attached Storage (NAS) that consolidates your data to Storage Area Networks (SAN) built for large, robust server needs, we supply the infrastructure to keep your environment performing at its peak.

Laptop, desktop & tablet leasing

Buy or lease top brands like HP, Lenovo, Panasonic, and more. Financing keeps capital free and your fleet current year to year.

  • Avoid tying up capital
  • Lower fixed monthly payment
  • Flexible lease terms
  • Easy refresh to current tech

Support that answers

Triaged by severity, worked in priority order

When something does go wrong, log a ticket by phone, email or the support portal. Our Illinois-based Managed Support Team assesses its severity and works it from a priority-based queue — business-halting issues first — remotely where possible, on-site when the fix needs hands.

Questions

Common questions about managed IT.

What does “managed IT” actually cover?

A flat-rate agreement that bundles monitoring, security, help-desk support, patching, and technology planning — so your IT is a predictable operating cost instead of a series of emergencies.

Do you replace or work alongside our internal team?

Either. Full management for teams without dedicated IT, or co-managed IT that reinforces the staff you already have.

Are your technicians local?

Yes. Support comes from our regional offices across Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Florida — the same local technicians on your account, not a rotating overseas call center.

How do you handle security?

Security is layered into every managed agreement: endpoint protection, patching, monitoring, and user awareness — with deeper programs available through our cybersecurity service.
