"While using IT Architechs as our outsourced IT department, two attributes impressed me most about their company.  The first attribute is that they listen to our business objectvies then offer technology solutions that save us money and increase productivity in areas that we would have never thought of ourselves.  ..."

Network - Proactive and Reactive Support, St. Louis MO

A critical aspect of our ability to provide our customers with a full-service IT department is our focus on keeping our customers' networks healthy, stable, and accessible from anywhere.

Whether it is an issue with a PC, laptop, mobile device, printer, server, switch, router, or firewall, our team responds in timely and effective manner.  Our team understands the importance of communicating an expected timeframe for resolution and communicating without using complicated, technology-specific words.

Our support plans provide our customers with multiple options for cost structure and type of support.  For costs, they range from a fixed cost for all network support, to one that is partially fixed-cost and partially variable-cost, or even a completely variable-cost one.  For types of support, they range from a combination of proactive and reactive, or just reactive.
