YOUR COMPLETE IT DEPARTMENT
Stop worrying about technology and start focusing on your business. AlfeNet provides fully managed IT services for small and mid-size businesses across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut — proactive monitoring, fast helpdesk support, and strategic guidance, all for a predictable monthly fee.
What Managed IT Services Actually Means
Managed IT services means outsourcing the day-to-day management of your technology infrastructure to a dedicated team of professionals. Instead of waiting for something to break and then scrambling to fix it, we monitor your systems around the clock, apply patches and updates proactively, and resolve issues before they impact your team. For businesses in the Tri-State Area with 5 to 200 employees, this model replaces the need for an expensive in-house IT department while delivering better coverage and faster response times.
- 24/7 network and endpoint monitoring with real-time alerting
- Proactive patch management for Windows, macOS, and third-party applications
- Helpdesk support with a 26-minute average response time
- On-site and remote support across New York City, Northern New Jersey, and Fairfield County CT
- Vendor management — we coordinate with your ISP, phone provider, and software vendors
- Monthly reporting on system health, ticket trends, and IT recommendations
How We Keep Your Systems Running at 99.98% Uptime

We deploy enterprise-grade monitoring tools across your servers, workstations, switches, firewalls, and cloud services to detect anomalies before they cascade into outages. Every managed client gets a dedicated account manager who understands your environment, plus access to our full team of certified engineers spanning Cisco, Microsoft, VMware, and AWS technologies.

- Standardized configurations to eliminate drift and reduce troubleshooting time

Flat-Fee Pricing That Makes Budgeting Simple
One of the biggest frustrations we hear from business owners in NYC and the surrounding areas is unpredictable IT costs. A server fails, and suddenly there is a $15,000 emergency invoice. With AlfeNet's managed IT services, you pay a flat monthly fee per user or per device — no surprises. The fee covers everything: monitoring, maintenance, helpdesk, on-site visits, and even vendor coordination. We have been doing this since 1999 and have refined our pricing to be competitive for small businesses while maintaining the service quality that keeps our 800+ clients renewing year after year.
Onboarding: What to Expect in the First 30 Days
Switching IT providers can feel daunting, but we have streamlined the process after doing it hundreds of times. During the first week, our team audits your entire environment — every server, workstation, switch, firewall, and cloud subscription. We document everything, identify urgent risks, and deploy our monitoring and management agents. By day 14, you are fully onboarded with proactive monitoring live and your team has access to our helpdesk. By day 30, we deliver a comprehensive IT roadmap with prioritized recommendations.
- Week 1: Full environment audit and risk assessment
- Week 2: Agent deployment, monitoring activation, helpdesk access
- Week 3: Documentation finalized, team introductions, SLA active
- Week 4: IT roadmap delivered with 6-month and 12-month recommendations

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do managed IT services cost for a small business?
Pricing depends on the number of users and devices, the complexity of your environment, and the level of support you need. Most of our small business clients in the NY metro area pay between $100 and $250 per user per month for fully managed IT. We provide a detailed proposal after a free assessment of your current setup.
Can you support our office if we are not in New York City?
Yes. While we are headquartered in Astoria, NY, we provide on-site support across the entire Tri-State Area including Long Island, Westchester, Northern New Jersey, and Fairfield County, Connecticut. We also provide remote support nationwide for cloud-based environments.
What happens if we already have an internal IT person?
Many of our clients have one or two internal IT staff. We work alongside them as an extension of their team — handling the monitoring, after-hours support, escalations, and specialized projects they do not have time for. It is a co-managed model that gives your internal team more bandwidth.
How is AlfeNet different from other managed IT providers in New York?
We have been doing this since 1999 — longer than most MSPs have existed. We are not a startup learning on your dime. Our 26-minute average response time, 99.98% uptime track record, and 800+ active clients speak for themselves. We also hold a GSA contract, which means we meet federal-level service standards.
