Managed IT vs. break/fix IT
Many businesses only call for IT help when something breaks. That feels cheaper until downtime, data loss or a security incident hits. Here's why proactive IT support saves money.
| Break/fix IT | Managed IT with Advantec | |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | Per problem, by the hour | One predictable monthly fee |
| When IT gets attention | After something breaks | Continuously, before things break |
| Security & backups | Often an afterthought | Built in and monitored |
| Budgeting | Surprise bills | Known costs you can plan around |
| Who knows your systems | Whoever picks up the call | A dedicated team and point of contact |

Managed IT means an outside provider (a managed service provider, or MSP) takes responsibility for monitoring, maintaining, securing and supporting your technology for a flat monthly fee, acting as your IT department.
How much do managed IT services cost?
Most clients pay a predictable flat monthly fee based on the number of users and devices and the services they need. After a free consultation we give you an exact quote, with no surprise charges.

We definitely made the right decision to go with Advantec!
Our first ticket was a resounding success and something we have been trying to solve for months now. Your technician was able to obtain all the information needed and completely step through the process with us to resolve the issue that would ultimately save us from days of headaches and downtime. He was polite, knowledgeable, and courteous!
Moving from our previous IT group was the best decision we've made. You can actually talk to someone on the phone!
Being a medical facility and the nature of our business, most of our information is time sensitive. We feel confident that Advantec is always looking out for us and taking every precaution, keeping us up-to-date and helping us continue to be successful in what we do. If you have IT needs, Advantec handles things in a prompt & professional way... every time, all the time.
Mickey MurdockAdministrator, Tulsa Fertility CenterWe got our ROI on IT support in month one!
Thanks to their IT expertise, we have avoided down time which means we are able to service our clients' needs. Advantec Solutions saves us money, period. We have done the math. With eight attorneys and our support staff, an hour of downtime - let alone a day - would be costly. Advantec is a click away!
Gary L. Giessmann, J.D.Partner, Nash, Cohenour & Giessmann P.C.I wish we had switched to Advantec much earlier...
If I could sum up Advantec in one word, "Reliability". Advantec Solutions is very good about responding quickly to our IT needs. Their customer service is impeccable. Trying to get issues resolved with the previous IT company took time away from the mission of our agency.
Melinda PointsExecutive Director, Oklahoma AmericorpsWhen we call for help, someone is there to respond quickly.
We don't have to worry about anything anymore! If our issue doesn't have an easy solution, they're happy to take the time to find a resolution. The quick response and not being treated less than because we can't speak 'computerese' is why we chose to work with Advantec. Choose Advantec Solutions! You won't regret it!

Advantec Solutions is amazing. They are not your average IT company. Not only do they know their stuff, but their consultants are personable and easy to talk to.

They do an excellent job breaking down complex cybersecurity risks into clear, practical insights that businesses can understand and act on. Their knowledge, professionalism, and ability to present real solutions make them a valuable resource for any organization looking to strengthen its security.
I recently attended an event sponsored by Advantec Solutions where I heard the speaker, Nathan Howell, deliver an informative and well-organized presentation with some valuable takeaways. If you get a chance to hear their take on the ever-changing world of tech and the importance of managed, IT services…don’t miss it. These guys really know what they are doing. If you are looking for a company to trust, this is the one.
Nate went above and beyond answering my questions even though I am just a small outfit. His level of knowledge and professionalism was impressive. He made me feel confident I was making the right decision switching to his company.
Customer service is quick, kind and knowledgeable. You reach out to them with a problem and they quickly resolve it. While doing this, they speak to you kindly and personably to make the overall experience a good one.
I've worked for my current company since 2019. They have been using Advantec since before then. Their employees are courteous, efficient, and professional. They go out of their way to make sure the problem is resolved. They have installed, managed, and updated our internet, wifi, backup, and security systems. They have worked to install/work on the interfaces with multiple vendors. Highly recommend them.
I trust James and his exceptionally knowledgeable staff at Advantec Solutions with my new company’s IT. He’s saved my bacon many times through the years with his computer skills. So fast and reliable! Things are running smooth and secure.
Sheena was very prompt in replying to my request for assistance. She was professional but friendly and continued to work on my problem even though I had to leave. I came to work to find she had fixed the issues I had been having. She was great to work with!
Sheena is ALWAYS so great to work with! She is VERY patient, and always willing to help in any way she can. She is very easy to talk to and communicate with. No matter the situation, she figures out how to resolve it. She doesn't forget about our needs, she stays in contact until the issue is resolved. I could go on and on. I can easily say she's one of my favorite people to work with at Advantech. Due to all of the above and the ease of communication and kindness, she is definitely my go-to now.
