Services

Everything that has to work on Monday morning.

Papa Bear is a full managed IT service, not a menu. The list below is what is covered, not what is available at extra cost.

How does helpdesk support work when something breaks?

The part your staff actually experience.

One number and one email address. A person answers, takes the problem, and owns it until it is closed. Most things get fixed remotely inside the same conversation.

Remote support is unlimited, with no per-ticket charge and no hourly meter. That matters more than it sounds. When help costs money by the minute, people stop asking, small problems grow quietly, and you find out about them at the worst time. On-site visits are charged separately at $145 an hour plus $72.50 an hour travel, quoted in advance.

How are computers, laptops, and servers managed?

Hardware managed on a schedule instead of by surprise.

New machines arrive set up, encrypted, and joined to your systems. Existing ones get patched, monitored, and tracked so you know what you own and how old it is.

We keep a replacement plan with dates on it. A five year old laptop is a budget line if you plan for it, and an emergency if you do not.

Who manages the network, firewall, and Wi-Fi?

The layer nobody thinks about until everything stops.

We manage the firewall, switches, and access points as one system, with configuration backed up off site. If a device dies we can rebuild it rather than reinvent it.

Guest Wi-Fi stays separate from the network your business runs on. Card readers, cameras, and building systems do too.

What is covered for Microsoft 365 and identity?

Where most small business risk actually sits.

Email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, plus the license management that quietly wastes money when nobody is watching it.

Multi-factor on every account, conditional access where it fits, and an offboarding process that removes access the day someone leaves rather than the quarter after.

Which security basics are included?

Not a product. A set of things being true.

Endpoint protection, multi-factor, patching, admin rights kept to the people who need them, and phishing training your staff will not resent.

We are candid about the ceiling here. This is strong small business hygiene, and it stops the attacks that actually happen to businesses your size.

Not sure which of these you need?

Most people are not. Call and describe what is annoying you, and we will tell you straight whether it is worth changing anything.
