What Every Senior Executive Needs to Make the Best IT Decisions
You need to understand the business impact of your decisions. You need context. You need a roadmap. You need a budget. You need a strategy. Bottom line, you need a plan.
You need an end-to-end assessment of technology-driven risk present in your environment so you can place today’s critical decision within the larger context of your business objectives, your tolerance for risk, your security exposure, and the impending critical technology decisions you’re not even aware of (and the scary thing is, maybe no one is).
Come And Get It
Ascent Data does not ask or permit our clients to make technology related decisions without a comprehensive understanding of the true state of their technology environment. Your decisions will be informed decisions – context presented, alternatives weighed, priorities examined.
Sweet.

What Makes Managed IT Services from Ascent Data Different
A Strategic Technology Partner
We’ll know that we’ve succeeded when your business is succeeding. That’s why we go beyond the minimum of managing your infrastructure and providing help desk support; we proactively develop standards for your entire company’s IT, from your network to devices, backup, data recovery, and daily policies and procedures. We optimize your technology for both your short-term and long-term success.
A Truly Proactive Approach
Most MSPs claim to be proactive because they monitor the environment and intercede when the system alerts them of a threat. That, in our book, is still reactive. Ascent Data takes a different approach to proactivity.
We assess the risks of your IT environment against standards we have developed from our experience with many clients and security protocols. We work with you to build and implement an IT roadmap and budget based on your business plans, risk tolerance, and priorities, so you know exactly what to expect.
Technical Account Manager w/ vCIO Consulting Services
A dedicated Technical Account Manager (TAM) will serve as your liaison with Ascent Data, ensuring your business technology needs are met. Our vCIO services include Strategic Technology Account Reviews (STAR) reviews and IT Budget Roadmap creation to keep your business secure and running smoothly. Your Account Manager will leverage the deep expertise of the entire Ascent Data team on your behalf.
True 24/7 Support
Most of our clients moved to us from other IT Service Providers who claimed 24/7 support—and most have also experienced frustration with the responsiveness of their prior vendor or staff, compounded by a high frequency of technology-related business disruptions. Ascent Data clients have their expectations exceeded. With our 24/7/365 dedicated helpdesk staff. Never a day (or night) goes by without a response to a customer issue.
