IT Managed Services Proposal for Start-Ups

Why Start-Ups Need Managed IT Services

Starting a business is exciting—but it also comes with a host of technical challenges. From securing data to ensuring smooth collaboration, IT infrastructure is the backbone of modern operations. Reflective IT’s Managed Services Proposal is designed to help start-ups build a secure, scalable, and cost-effective IT environment from day one.

Discovery Phase: Supplier-Agnostic Audit

Our engagement begins with a comprehensive audit of your current IT setup. This includes:

Review of workstations and networking equipment
Assessment of backup and disaster recovery readiness
Security posture and licensing compliance
RAG (Red/Amber/Green) status report with actionable insights

This phase is low-risk and supplier-neutral, giving you the facts before committing to any changes.

Onboarding Project Works

Once the audit is complete, we help you transition smoothly with:

Reconfiguration of networking equipment
Deployment of remote monitoring and management (RMM)
Onboarding to Datto PSA and full documentation

Managed IT Services Options

We offer two flexible support models:

Remote Support Only
Remote Support + Proactive On-Site Visits

Services include device monitoring, router and printer support, Microsoft 365 administration, and security services like Cisco Umbrella and DMARC.

Future Roadmap: Strategic IT Planning

Our roadmap uses a traffic light system to prioritise actions:

Immediate (0–3 months): Microsoft licensing audit, spam filtering transition, device monitoring
Medium-Term (3–9 months): Cloud migration, Cyber Essentials certification, AI workshops
Long-Term (9–18 months): ISO certification, hardware refresh, expanded on-site support

Reflective IT Tip

Start-ups thrive when they focus on growth—not IT headaches. Our managed services give you peace of mind, predictable costs, and a strategic partner who understands your business.
