Why Lexcom Managed Services?

Many organizations struggle to find qualified information technology professionals with the depth of knowledge needed to help grow and support their business. Even for organizations with a mature IT teams, it is incredibly difficult and expensive to get all of the skills needed to stay on top of today’s innovations.

For many business owners, information technology  is a complicated topic that isn't well understood . They want to incorporate technology into all aspects of their business strategy but in many cases don't have the resources available to do so. Today's IT department is more than just swapping out computers and fixing printers, it touches every department, and if done right, enables the business to operate at peak performance.
Many businesses have their website and digital marketing services performed by one company, and their network, corporate applications and support from another. None of these two groups work together. The challenge is that in order to truly deliver business transformation services need to be designed and delivered end-to-end.

We have built our consulting business around delivering innovative solutions to our customers. Lexcom's Best Managed IT Services are designed to bring you the expertise needed to properly manage and maintain the solutions through their life cycle.

IT Service Management
Improve Productivity, Reduce Costs and Mitigate Risk.

Since 1996, Lexcom has always been a leading Managed IT Services Provider. While at the top of our growth (over 10 years ago) we suffered a major security breach that cost us over 2.5 million in revenue and nearly put us out of business. That made us realize two major things. As business owners we place lot of trust in our IT department and the people we hire. Secondly, when bad things happen, employees can find new jobs, us owners are accountable for the what is left of their business. (and all of the associated debts)

We took our experience as a major lesson learnt and rebuilt our business from the ground up. Using our experience to develop  the Best Managed Technology Systems approach to IT. We have incorporated a number of controls to protect our clients from the impact that IT related risks can have on their business, family and lifestyle.

We do things unlike anybody else. Our unique approach enables us to build a comprehensive IT support strategy tailored to focus in key areas of concern including: asset management, information security & addressing cyber security threats, business continuity and data protection strategies, service design, network connectivity, performance and capacity management and building a responsive support system behind it. Everything we do is a balance between the cost of the service and amount of risk you are willing to accept with the goal of deploying capital as effectively as possible.

Here’s why the best businesses depend on Lexcom and our Best Managed Technology Systems work program:

We have certified security experts that scan and detect vulnerabilities in your environment, review device configurations and patch levels, and audit our operational teams to ensure we are doing everything we can to prevent cyber security threats from impacting your business.
  • Reduced Risk to your Business - Hiring internally also exposes your business to a substantial amount of risk. Often times business leadership places all of their trust in their IT individual with little visibility into what they are doing. . If that individual makes a mistake, does not manage things properly, or becomes disgruntled; they can do your business harm. Our work program segments duties to minimize risk.

  • Team of Experts at a Fraction of the Cost - Hiring an in-house technical person can often times be done for cheaper than managed services however by doing so your business is taking on risk.  It’s impossible to find a single support person that has all of the skill-sets needed to properly support today's business IT systems. In addition, when you factor in salary, benefits, training, management and any 3rd party consultants needed to fill in skill-set gaps, it is often more efficient and cost-effective to work with a company like Lexcom.
