Comprehensive Coverage

One Provider for Every IT Service Your Business Needs

Most Chicago businesses end up with three or four IT vendors — one for helpdesk, one for cybersecurity, one for cloud, one for projects. We consolidate that into a single accountability point with one monthly invoice and one team that knows your environment end-to-end.

Why Datastrive

One Hire vs. an Entire Bench.

Hiring a single in-house IT person costs roughly the same as a full Datastrive managed support agreement — but a single person can’t cover 24/7, can’t be a senior network engineer and a cybersecurity specialist and a vCIO at the same time, and goes on vacation. Managed IT support gives you depth, redundancy, and predictable cost without the recruiting risk.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about IT services in Chicago and how Datastrive structures engagements.

What’s included in managed IT services?
24/7 monitoring, helpdesk, patching, cybersecurity, backup, vCIO strategy, and vendor management — all bundled under one agreement. See our managed IT support page for the full inclusion list.
Can I pick individual services or do I need to bundle?
Both work. Most clients start with a bundle (managed IT support) for predictability, then layer in standalone engagements (project management, web development, vendor management) as needs come up.
How does pricing work for IT services?
Managed IT is per-user or per-device per month. Standalone services are scoped per engagement (fixed-fee for projects, retainer for advisory work, hourly for one-off support). We quote everything in writing after a free assessment.
Do you support Mac and Windows environments?
Yes. Our team supports Windows, macOS, and Linux servers, and we manage mixed-OS fleets regularly. Most Chicago businesses we serve are predominantly Windows with some Mac users on the design or executive side.
What size companies do you support?
Typically 10-500 employees. Below 10, break-fix support is often more cost-effective. Above 500, we shift to a co-managed model alongside an internal IT team. See co-managed IT or outsourced IT for the right fit.
