Web Design Review from Jacob Knoth
Eric worked with me throughout the process of designing a website to what I was looking for with my business. He was upfront about the process and the timeframe. He kept me well informed and the overall platform was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Elizabeth Gray's Review Sourced from Google
Eric was excellent to work with while getting the Florida Autosport website created! They were fast and communicative! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a site built!
Cindy's Review Sourced from Google
I located this provider via a SBA group I joined! They provide timely updates, collaborate when issues arise, and response time is 24 hours of less on requests once my site was built - even customizing my contract to factor in security measures needed for my business! If you are considering a provider to help with your digital presence - I highly recommend Eric!

Matthias Schwarz (Healthcare Founders)'s Review Sourced from Google
I work with KjellDesign on web design and implementation, and I'm absolutely thrilled. From the initial concept to the go-live, everything was handled with utmost professionalism and structure, while always maintaining a pleasantly personal touch.I particularly appreciate the combination of technical expertise, clear advice, and a deep understanding of the brand, target audience, and content. Feedback was implemented quickly, my own ideas were incorporated, and together we found the best solution.The result is truly impressive – modern, user-friendly, and perfectly tailored to my needs. A clear recommendation and a full ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for KjellDesign!
Martina Guhde's Review Sourced from Google
I'm still absolutely thrilled about working with Kjell. The friendly, calm way he explains everything in detail to a "dummy" is unmatched and simply priceless. I felt very comfortable from the very first moment, and all my questions and requests were considered, and if they didn't make sense, he explained exactly why they didn't. That's exactly what I expect from an expert: to say NO when something is simply not feasible or simply pointless (e.g., too small font, illegible fonts, color selection, etc.).I would definitely recommend him and thank you for the brilliant collaboration.

As an SME operating internationally we are heavily reliant on our IT systems for communication, collaboration, and every other aspect of our operations. But we don't have the need or resources for a staff IT capability. Dale at Internacious has provided excellent and responsive support and advice to keep our business functioning at its best. Everything from resolving problems, providing advice on security, and quickly doing routine IT tasks that would take one of the team many times longer.Thoroughly recommend.
Alex Baird's Review Sourced from Google
Dale and the team at Internacious have provided IT services to three of our companies for the past year. The service has been excellent. Prompt responses, clever solution development and all provided at a very reasonable cost. Would thoroughly recommendAlex Baird

Chas Rowe's Review Sourced from Google
I've been working with DCOED because we're both Bristol Creative Industries members and I feel it's important to collaborate with local businesses and support one another's creative endeavours. Dan Coe and DCOED have helped 'decode' some of my Wordpress website's mysteries for a while now and it's been really helpful. Dan is very thorough, patient and knowledgeable and delivers good value - with very professional presentations and strategies for SEO. More than just someone who does the job, he also helps the non-technical website owner and user understand what's going on beneath the bonnet, so to speak, so that they can learn to operate and manage their site better. I've still got a lot to learn, but where I've got gaps in my knowledge, I know I can count on Dan to calmly get things done and to a high standard.
Natalie Steed's Review Sourced from Google
Dan's kindness, expertise and patience with us was way beyond any expectations I might have had. We felt, utterly, in safe hands as he guided our project to launch. I can't receommend him highly enough.

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.
