IT teams and business leaders are often at odds. This is in large part because technologists focus on technology rather than the underlying business issue. This company was founded to bridge that gap and to allow business owners the ability to fully leverage their tech stack. We offer near shore resources...

Apadmi Reviews & Testimonials
Thomas Booth Review from Google
2.0★
Thomas Booth's Review Sourced from Google
I recently had an experience back in 2022 with Apadmi that I feel compelled to share and have debated whether i should post this. As a professional eagerly looking forward to an interview with Apadmi, I was unfortunately met with a series of disappointments.Firstly, the structured process I was initially promised for the interview was not adhered to. This lack of organisation not only threw me off but also made it challenging to present myself effectively and forced to do a presentation in less than 24 hours notice.More concerning, however, was my interaction with the Managing Director, not sure if he is still there. I found his demeanour not just unprofessional but outright rude. This was disheartening, especially coming from a leadership figure in a reputable company. I've actually never been so humiliated in the professional environment.It's important for companies to remember that interviews are a two-way process. They are not just about evaluating candidates, but also about demonstrating the company's values and culture. Unfortunately, my experience with Apadmi fell short of the professional standards one would expect, however i would say Marcus, one of the board members was a delight in my first stage.I hope my feedback is taken constructively, as it is intended to highlight areas where there is significant room for improvement in how Apadmi manages its recruitment process and senior staff interactions.

Manoj Ranaweera's Review Sourced from Google
Apadmi's ability to spin out technology as separate companies is remarkable. A strong supporter of Manchester tech ecosystem, they became unbeatable in mobile category during the first three years of northern tech awards before it adopted a new structure and ownership. Another remarkable achievement is that the four founders have remained together during all these years. I wish them all the best.

6 Frequently Asked Questions about Managed IT Service Providers
What is a managed IT service provider, and how does it differ from traditional IT support?
It is a company that takes over the responsibility of running and maintaining a business’s IT systems. Instead of hiring a full in-house team, companies outsource network monitoring, technical issue resolution, and data security to a managed services provider (MSP).
In the United States, the managed services market is projected to reach over $119 billion by 2031, driven largely by demand for cloud, security, and compliance expertise.
The key difference between managed service providers and traditional IT support comes down to approach, scope, and value:
Category
Traditional IT support (Break-Fix)
Managed IT Service Provider
Approach
Reactive: Issues are addressed only after they occur
Proactive: Continuous monitoring prevents issues before impact
Scope of services
Limited: Focused on isolated tasks like troubleshooting or hardware fixes
Comprehensive: Covers cloud computing, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and more
Engagement model
Transactional: Engaged only when problems arise
Ongoing partnership: Aligned with long-term performance and digital transformation goals
Cost structure
Unpredictable: Variable costs based on incidents and repairs
Predictable: Fixed monthly pricing for consistent budgeting
Which services do IT managed services companies offer?
They deliver a broad range of managed IT services to keep systems running efficiently, securely, and in alignment with business goals. Rather than offering one-off fixes, these providers deliver comprehensive IT solutions that combine support, strategy, and ongoing optimization.
24/7 system monitoring and maintenance: Continuous oversight of systems to detect, prevent, and resolve issues before they disrupt business operations.
Help desk and end-user support services: On-demand technical assistance for employees to resolve IT issues quickly and keep productivity high.
Server, network, and device management: Ongoing management of core infrastructure to ensure performance, connectivity, and reliability across all systems.
Security patching and software updates: Regular updates to fix vulnerabilities, improve performance, and protect systems from emerging cyber threats.
IT infrastructure planning and optimization: Strategic design and ongoing improvement of IT environments to support scalability, efficiency, and business growth.
Cybersecurity and data protection: Advanced services and threat monitoring, email security to prevent phishing and ransomware attacks, network security and endpoint protection, and data protection, backup, and compliance support.
Data backup and disaster recovery: Managed IT services providers help organizations prepare for and recover from disruptions by handling backup management and secure data storage, disaster recovery planning and testing, and rapid system restoration after outages or cyber incidents.
Cloud hosting and management, including cloud migration from on-premises systems to platforms like Google Cloud, ongoing management of cloud services and hybrid environments, and the design of scalable cloud solutions for performance and cost efficiency.
When should a company switch from break-fix IT support to a managed solution?
It should switch when reactive IT support is no longer enough to keep systems secure, reliable, and cost-effective. If your business is growing, adopting cloud services, or facing increasing security risks, managed IT services offer a more proactive and scalable approach.
Key signs it’s time to switch:
Frequent downtime or recurring IT issues: If problems keep happening, a managed IT service can proactively monitor and maintain systems to prevent disruptions.
Unpredictable IT costs: Break-fix support leads to unexpected expenses, while managed services provide predictable monthly pricing.
Rising threats: Without strong cybersecurity services, your business is at risk
Moving to the cloud or scaling operations: Managed IT service providers can support cloud migration, manage cloud providers, and deliver scalable cloud solutions.
Limited internal IT resources: If your team is stretched thin, these providers offer expert support services without the need for in-house hiring.
Need for a long-term IT strategy: A managed solution helps align information technology with business goals, supporting digital transformation and growth.
Operating in competitive markets: Businesses across the United States, including New York, New Jersey, and Los Angeles, require reliable technology solutions to stay competitive.
How much do managed IT services cost?
Managed IT services typically cost between $80 and $200 per user per month, though exact pricing depends on your business size, the number of devices, and the range of services included.
IT managed services companies also offer the following pricing models:
Per device: $50-$150 per device/month
Flat rate: $3,000-$10,000+ per month for full support
Tiered plans: Price varies by service level
À la carte: Flexible, starting at a few hundred dollars/month
What industries benefit most from managed IT services?
Any business that needs reliable IT support, predictable costs, and strong data protection can benefit from managed IT services.
For example:
Small to mid-sized companies that don’t have full in-house IT teams
Healthcare providers who must protect sensitive patient data
Financial and legal firms that need strict compliance and security
Fast-growing startups that need scalable IT support
Retail and eCommerce companies that run online sales platforms
Manufacturers that rely on connected systems and automation
What should you look for when choosing a managed IT services company?
You should focus on a few key factors that determine reliability, security, and long-term value, including:
Experience and proven results: Look for managed IT service providers with a strong track record, supported by real client outcomes or a relevant case study.
Range of managed IT services: It should offer comprehensive IT solutions, so you don’t need multiple service providers.
Customized approach: It should offer tailored solutions that align with your business goals, infrastructure, and growth plans.
Transparent pricing: Choose a provider with clear, predictable pricing for managed services, avoiding hidden fees or unexpected costs.
Cloud expertise: Strong managed service providers should support cloud migration, manage cloud providers like Google Cloud, and deliver scalable cloud solutions.
Service level agreements (SLAs): Defined response times and performance guarantees ensure consistent, reliable support services.
Scalability: Your managed solution should grow with your business, supporting expansion, new technologies, and digital transformation.
Reputation and credibility: Established managed IT services companies demonstrate reliability through client successes and industry presence.
Strategic partnership mindset: A strong MSP acts as a long-term partner, helping guide technology decisions and optimize your information technology environment.
