IT support that watches your systems before they become your problem
A single team responsible for your computers, network, cloud and security — monitored proactively, not fixed reactively.

Quick answer
What does managed IT support include?
Managed IT support means Syntrex Technologies acts as your outsourced or co-managed IT department on a fixed monthly plan. It covers proactive monitoring of your servers, computers and network, a helpdesk for staff, patching, device management, vendor coordination and monthly reporting, so problems are caught before they cause downtime.
Reactive IT support costs more than it saves
Calling someone only when something breaks means downtime has already happened by the time help arrives. Lost productivity, frustrated staff and rushed fixes become the normal way of operating.
What managed IT support actually covers
Syntrex Technologies acts as your outsourced or co-managed IT department. We monitor the health of your devices, servers and network around the clock, apply updates before they cause conflicts, and resolve issues through our helpdesk before your team even notices.
Every plan is built around your business, not a generic package — small teams get straightforward device and helpdesk cover, while larger businesses add server, network and security layers on top.

Proactive monitoring catches failing hardware and misconfigurations early.
Predictable costs

Common questions about managed it support
Do you replace our internal IT person, or work alongside them?
We can do either. Syntrex Technologies can run your IT support end-to-end as your outsourced IT department, or work as a co-managed extension of an existing internal team, taking on the parts that make sense to outsource, such as monitoring, patching, helpdesk or vendor coordination. We work out the split when we review your current environment.
What's included in the monthly fee?
What's included depends on your plan and the size of your environment. Plans typically cover 24/7 proactive monitoring, helpdesk support, patch management, device management, vendor coordination and monthly reporting, with server, network and security layers added for larger businesses. We provide a scope-based quote rather than flat prices, because environments differ too much for a published price to be accurate.
How fast will you respond to an issue?
Response times depend on your plan and the priority of the issue, and we agree them with you upfront rather than publishing a blanket guarantee. Managed plans include 24/7 proactive monitoring to catch problems early, while the helpdesk runs during business hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM AEST, with after-hours support on request.
Can you support a business with multiple offices?
Yes. Remote monitoring and helpdesk support work the same way regardless of how many sites you operate, so every office is covered by one team. Where hands-on work is needed, we coordinate onsite visits across the areas we service. Multi-site businesses can also have their offices connected securely as part of our network services.
