Managed IT for NY & NJ businesses — and we'll tell you if you don't need us.

Sage Solutions uses flat-rate per-endpoint pricing, typically $109–$225 per workstation per month depending on tier, with separate flat fees for servers and infrastructure. No surprise hourly bills, no after-the-fact "tech debt" surcharges. You get a written quote in 48 hours after a free 30-minute assessment.

No. We run a staged cutover — your old mailbox stays live during migration, mail is mirrored in real time, and we cut MX records during off-hours after every mailbox is verified. Zero-mail-loss is the standard, not the goal.

Average response time across managed clients in 2025 was 14 minutes. P1 (business-down) issues escalate to a senior engineer immediately, including after hours for managed clients with 24/7 support.

Yes. We architect HIPAA-aware infrastructure for medical practices, PCI-segmented networks for restaurants and retail, and SHIELD-compliant data handling for any business with NY-resident PII. We are not a compliance auditor — we partner with your auditor to implement the controls they require.

We are headquartered in Staten Island, NY. Helpdesk and engineering are US-based. On-site response across NYC and northern New Jersey is typically same-day, often within 90 minutes for managed clients.

Yes. We work with whatever stack you have. Part of managed services is vendor management — when your ISP, CRM, line-of-business app, or phone vendor has an issue, you call us, we call them.

IT support is reactive — a server breaks, you call, someone fixes it, you pay an hourly bill. Managed IT services is a flat-rate, proactive contract: continuous monitoring, automated patching, backup verification, security tooling, and unlimited helpdesk are all in scope every month. The economic difference is the alignment — under hourly billing, your vendor profits when things break. Under managed IT, we profit when nothing breaks, so we invest in prevention.

Hiring one in-house tech costs roughly $90,000–$130,000 fully loaded, and that person is one human with vacation, sick days, and a single area of expertise. Managed IT replaces that role with a full team — helpdesk, network, security, cloud, vendor management — for typically half to two-thirds the cost. Co-managed IT is the hybrid: you keep your in-house IT person and add us as their backup, after-hours coverage, and tier-3 escalation. Co-managed pricing is custom and usually starts around $1,500–$3,000 per month.

Most SMB switches complete in 14 to 30 days. Week 1 is discovery: we document the environment, get credentials, identify gaps. Week 2 is parallel-run: our monitoring deploys alongside the existing tools while we onboard your users. Week 3-4 is cutover: ticket routing flips to us, the prior MSP's tools are decommissioned, and the relationship formally ends. We have a written runbook for this — switch days are coordinated, not chaotic.

Yes. Cyber-insurance carriers require specific controls — MFA enforcement, EDR, immutable backup, security awareness training, documented incident response, and access reviews. Our Secure tier defaults to a stack that meets or exceeds the typical underwriter checklist. We will fill out the renewal questionnaire with you and provide attestation letters where the carrier asks for them.

Below about 10 endpoints the math gets fuzzy — at 5-8 employees a flat-rate plan can feel expensive relative to a one-off support arrangement. We will tell you that openly during the assessment. Our sweet spot is 10-250 employees in a single industry, especially regulated verticals (healthcare, finance, legal) where the consequences of an outage justify the predictable monthly bill.
