Proactive IT Maintenance & Monitoring

  • 24/7 Network Monitoring & Alerting — We monitor your systems around the clock to catch issues before they impact your business.
  • Automated Patch Management — Windows updates, software patches, and firmware upgrades for firewalls and network devices. Applied on a schedule, no action needed from your side.
  • Backup & Disaster Recovery — Automated backups with tested restore plans. If something goes wrong, we restore your full systems, not just your files.
  • Asset Lifecycle Management — We track every device you have, flag what needs replacing, and plan upgrades before things fail.

IT Support and Help Desk Services

  • Unlimited Help Desk Support — No ticket limits. Your team calls, and a real person on our US-based team answers and fixes it remotely.
  • Same-Day Issue Resolution — Most problems are handled remotely the same day they’re reported. No waiting in a queue behind someone else’s emergency.
  • Employee Onboarding & Offboarding — New hire needs a laptop and access on Monday? Done. Someone leaving? We secure everything that day.
  • Dedicated Account Management — One consistent point of contact who knows your business, your setup, and your people.

Cybersecurity Services

  • Managed EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) — Active threat monitoring on every device, not just antivirus.
  • Managed SIEM — Centralized log collection, security event correlation, and around-the-clock threat monitoring.
  • Email Security — Spam filtering with encryption on incoming and outgoing messages, plus identity detection and response built into your Microsoft 365 or Google workspace.

IT Strategy and vCIO Planning

  • Vendor Management — We call your software and hardware vendors, work alongside their support teams, and document the fix so we handle it faster next time. One call to us replaces a dozen you’d make on your own.
  • Technology Roadmap & vCIO Guidance — A strategic plan for your technology that evolves as your business grows.
  • Quarterly Business Reviews — Regular sit-downs with your leadership to review performance, flag risks, and plan ahead. This is included in your monthly fee, not an add-on.

We’ve worked with the FIRN team for several years now, and I can confidently say they’ve transformed the way our practice handles IT.

From day one, they brought structure, reliability, and forward-thinking solutions that elevated every aspect of our technology setup. What truly sets them apart is how seamlessly they work with our team. They break down complicated issues in a way that makes sense, even for those of us who aren’t tech-savvy. FIRN empowers our staff to feel confident, informed, and supported, no matter the issue.

Why Richardson Businesses Choose FIRN for Managed IT Services

Cybersecurity is included, not an upgrade.

Managed EDR, SIEM, email security awareness training, and phishing simulations come standard. Most MSPs sell that level of protection as a separate package on top of your monthly fee. We build it into every agreement, no matter your size.

Complex problems don’t get passed around.

We find the problem, fix it, and coordinate with your software vendors when needed. Complex issues go straight to senior technicians who already know your setup. No tiers of escalation, no starting over with a new person every call.

Your IT plan is built around your business.

Every FIRN client uses the same proven technology stack, so issues can be solved quickly and efficiently. What we customize is your strategy. A growing startup has different needs than an established firm, so your technology roadmap is built around your specific goals.

Predictable cost, no surprises.

Starting at $99/user/month for monitoring, security, help desk, strategy, and everything on this page. No add-on fees to get the full picture, and no discovering mid-year that the protection you assumed you had was actually an upgrade.

IT Support for Remote and Hybrid Teams in Richardson

We support your team wherever they work.

In the office, at home, or both. We manage devices, security, and support for your entire team regardless of where they’re sitting. Your remote employees get the same protection and response time as the ones down the hall.

who we serve

Managed IT Services for Richardson Industries

We serve as the IT department for small to mid-sized businesses across industries where technology has to work and security isn’t optional.

Healthcare

We keep your practice HIPAA compliant, protect patient data, and ensure your systems run smoothly. From daily IT support to application management and vendor coordination, we handle the technology so your team can focus on patient care.

HIPAA auditors don’t care about your excuse. Your technology should not give them a reason to look twice.

Healthcare IT

Legal

We build secure, reliable IT systems that protect confidential client data and support your firm’s daily work. Your team stays productive, communications stay protected, and your technology remains ready to support every new client and case.

Opposing counsel finds every weakness. Don’t let your tech systems be one.

Legal IT

Financial Services

We provide secure IT infrastructure and compliance support for financial and insurance firms. Our managed EDR, SIEM monitoring, and ongoing security support help protect sensitive data, reduce risk, and keep daily operations running smoothly without gaps or unnecessary disruption.

Tax season is stressful enough. Your technology failing in the middle of it is unforgivable.

Financial IT

Property Management

We manage networks across multiple properties, keeping distributed teams connected as your portfolio grows. From new developments to redeveloped spaces, we make sure your IT infrastructure is ready before teams and tenants move in.

We standardize everything so scaling up feels like copy and paste, not reinventing the wheel.

Property IT

We also work with construction, manufacturing, nonprofits, churches, restaurants, and other industries. If your business runs on technology, we can help.

How Our Managed IT Services Work

Working with FIRN starts with understanding your business, not just your technology. Here’s what the process looks like:

Tech Check-Up

We evaluate your entire IT infrastructure: hardware, software, security posture, backup strategy, network configuration, and operational workflows. This isn’t a sales pitch disguised as an audit. It’s a thorough, honest assessment of where you are today and what needs to happen to get your technology where it needs to be.

Implementation & Stabilization

Based on the assessment, we deploy FIRN’s recommended solutions. That includes our security stack, backup systems, monitoring tools, help desk access, and any additional services your environment requires. We remediate existing issues, secure your network, optimize day-to-day operations, and train your staff where necessary. This phase is about getting your IT to a stable, protected baseline.

Proactive Partnership & Continuous Improvement

This is where the real transformation happens. Once your environment is stabilized, FIRN shifts into ongoing proactive management. 24/7 proactive monitoring and alerting that catches issues before they become downtime.

The goal isn’t just to keep your systems running. It’s to turn your technology into a competitive advantage so your team spends time on growth, not IT headaches.

Stories About Real Clients

A manufacturing company came to us with on-premise servers, no real backup plan, and a single IT person who couldn’t keep up with modern technology. When they asked him about cloud environments, the answer was “I don’t know.” Within 90 days, we migrated them to full cloud, implemented proper disaster recovery, and eliminated the need for on-site hardware management entirely. If they lose a file today, we bring it back instantly. They went from calling their IT guy and hearing “I don’t know” to having a team that resolves most issues the same day.

A financial services firm with a mix of remote and in-office employees needed technology that matched their compliance requirements without slowing anyone down. They took our recommendations, moved to the systems we suggested, and the results speak for themselves: they rarely need to call, and when they do, the issues are simple because everything runs on a proven, well-maintained stack. A shared folder not showing up gets fixed by a script in seconds instead of an hour of troubleshooting. When we tell them a firewall is reaching end of life, they plan for it instead of getting surprised by it. That’s what IT looks like when it’s working.

A healthcare group with multiple locations came to us after losing significant data with their previous provider. The crisis wasn’t just technical, it was a breakdown of trust: when things went wrong, they couldn’t get straight answers. We recovered what we could, got them operational, and rebuilt their environment properly, with VPNs connecting their offices, verified backups, and vendor management for their medical software so their staff makes one call for any IT issue. Years later, they trust us with everything from the help desk to the strategy, and their data has never been at risk since.

Managed IT Services FAQ

Yes. We’re not going to rip and replace everything on day one. During onboarding, we assess what you’re already using and keep what’s working. If something needs to change for performance or security reasons, we’ll walk you through why and handle the transition. We also manage vendor relationships on your behalf so you’re not stuck on hold with your software company.

Most issues are resolved remotely the same day they’re reported. When on-site support is needed, our Fort Worth team can be there fast. It’s just billed separately from your monthly fee. That way you’re not paying for on-site visits every month when 90% of the time you don’t need them.

Everything listed on this page: 24/7 monitoring, help desk support, patch management, backup and disaster recovery, full cybersecurity (managed EDR, SIEM, email security awareness training), a dedicated account manager, vendor management, vCIO guidance, and quarterly business reviews.

We’ll build a customized IT plan around your specific business needs so you’re only paying for what actually makes sense for your team. Start with a Free Tech Check-Up.

Projects that go beyond day-to-day management are scoped and quoted separately. Things like new office expansions, email migrations, hardware refreshes, and practice acquisitions. This keeps your monthly cost predictable so you only pay for project work when you actually need it.

Yes, both. We’ll completely manage your tenant, handle licensing, and secure your accounts with identity detection and response tools that live inside your Microsoft 365 or Google environment. That means if someone’s account is compromised or behaving unusually, we’ll catch it, not you.

Our managed IT partnerships start with a one-year commitment. That’s not because we want to lock you in, it’s because real IT strategy takes time to implement. We need time to stabilize your environment, build a technology roadmap, and start showing measurable results. After the first year, the agreement continues month-to-month.

Book a Free Tech Check-Up with our team. We’ll talk through what’s working, what’s not, and what your business actually needs. From there, we put together a customized quote based on your team size and environment. No pressure, no generic packages. Just a plan that fits.

We schedule an onboarding date and get to work. We install our monitoring and security tools across your devices, train your staff on how to reach us for support, and run through security awareness training so your team knows how to spot phishing attempts and other security vulnerabilities. Most businesses are fully transitioned within two weeks.

Every ticket gets a response within our two-hour SLA, and most issues are resolved remotely the same day they’re reported. Our first-call resolution rate is 85%, which means the majority of problems are fixed during the first conversation, not escalated into a queue.

Yes, when it’s needed. We resolve 99% of issues remotely, which is faster for you and keeps your monthly cost down, but our team is based in DFW and Richardson is squarely in our service area. On-site visits for hardware installs, cabling, or hands-on projects are billed separately so you’re never paying for truck rolls you don’t use.

Yes. We manage devices, security, and support for your entire team regardless of where they’re sitting. Whether your people are at an office near CityLine, working from home across the metroplex, or split between multiple DFW locations, remote employees get the same protection and response time as the ones down the hall.
