Still Have Questions About Outsourced IT Services?

Everything You Want to Know—Answered

What exactly is Outsourced IT?2025-05-23T13:47:12-04:00

Outsourced IT is a fully managed technology solution where your business partners with an external provider—like HERO—to handle all aspects of your IT infrastructure. This includes user support, cybersecurity, hardware management, cloud services, compliance, and more. Instead of relying on internal staff or piecemeal vendors, you gain a dedicated, professional IT team with enterprise-level tools and processes.

At HERO, we become your complete IT department. Our clients benefit from predictable monthly costs, 24/7 support, and peace of mind knowing every aspect of their technology is covered—from strategy to support. Outsourcing your IT ensures your systems stay secure, scalable, and aligned with your business goals—without the time or expense of building it all yourself.

How is this different from hiring internal IT staff?2025-05-23T13:47:28-04:00

Hiring internal IT staff comes with a lot of overhead: recruiting, onboarding, training, benefits, management, and turnover risk—not to mention skill limitations. A single IT employee often cannot provide the breadth of expertise needed for today’s complex environments.

With HERO’s outsourced IT services, you gain a full team of specialists for less than the cost of one full-time technician. That includes cybersecurity experts, cloud engineers, help desk technicians, and a virtual CIO. You’ll also benefit from our 24/7 availability and enterprise-grade tools at no additional cost. It’s a smarter, more scalable way to manage your IT without the HR headaches.

What’s included in HERO’s outsourced IT services?2025-05-23T13:48:03-04:00

Our outsourced IT solution is all-inclusive and designed to cover every essential technology function your business needs to operate securely and efficiently. This includes:

  • 24/7 Help Desk & Remote Support
  • Endpoint Protection & EDR
  • Email Security & Phishing Protection
  • Network Monitoring & Patch Management
  • Cloud Services (Microsoft 365, Azure, etc.)
  • Business Continuity & Backup Solutions
  • On-Site Tech Support (Tampa Bay and surrounding areas)
  • Strategic IT Planning with a dedicated vCIO
  • Compliance Tools for HIPAA, FINRA, PCI, and more

We tailor our services based on your business size, compliance requirements, and growth goals—offering more than just support, but real strategic value. Everything is bundled into one flat monthly rate with no surprise fees.

Do you offer support outside of business hours?2025-05-23T13:45:20-04:00

Yes—reliable 24/7 support is one of the biggest advantages of outsourcing IT with HERO. Technology issues can arise at any time, and when they do, your team shouldn’t be stuck waiting until Monday morning for help.

Our U.S.-based Help Desk is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. We also provide round-the-clock proactive monitoring and alerting to prevent issues before they cause downtime. Whether it’s a critical server alert at 3 a.m. or a password reset at 7 p.m., we’re here when you need us—day or night.

This level of availability drastically improves uptime, employee productivity, and customer satisfaction—especially for businesses with remote teams or clients across different time zones.

What if we need someone to come on-site?2025-05-23T13:45:38-04:00

We understand that some issues require hands-on support. That’s why HERO offers local, on-site response services in Tampa Bay and surrounding regions. Whether it’s a hardware failure, networking issue, equipment installation, or cabling project, our field technicians are available to visit your location as needed.

This is a key advantage over many remote-only MSPs who rely on third-party contractors or leave you on your own when things get physical. We offer a true hybrid model—remote support when it’s fast and efficient, and on-site when it matters most. This ensures continuity, reliability, and a consistent customer experience.

Is this only for small businesses?2025-05-23T13:45:54-04:00

Not at all. While many small businesses benefit from our outsourced IT services because they lack internal staff, our solution is equally powerful for mid-sized and growing companies. If you’re managing multiple locations, expanding operations, or scaling your technology infrastructure, outsourced IT allows you to do so without worrying about internal headcount or infrastructure gaps.

Our services are used by law firms, healthcare practices, construction companies, non-profits, and professional services firms—all of whom need expert IT management but don’t want the complexity of building an internal team. Outsourcing gives you access to higher-level expertise and resources while keeping your operation lean and efficient.

Will we lose control of our IT environment?2025-05-23T13:46:10-04:00

Absolutely not. A common misconception is that outsourcing means losing visibility or control. With HERO, you maintain full access to your systems, data, and decision-making authority. We operate transparently, provide regular reporting, and include you in every strategic discussion.

In fact, most of our clients feel more in control after partnering with us because they no longer have to guess what’s going wrong or scramble for solutions. Our vCIO team ensures you understand where your IT stands and how it’s supporting your business. We manage the day-to-day execution—but the vision, goals, and governance stay with you.

How quickly can we get started?2025-05-23T13:46:25-04:00

We make onboarding fast, seamless, and completely tailored to your environment. Most businesses are fully transitioned in 7 to 14 business days from contract signing.

The process starts with a free discovery call, followed by a full IT assessment. We document your environment, identify risks, and create a roadmap to transition your support, cybersecurity, backups, and user services with zero downtime.

Our onboarding team handles all the heavy lifting, communicates with any prior vendors, and ensures your team knows how to access support from day one. You’ll be operational and protected faster than you think.

What happens if we grow or open new locations?2025-05-23T13:46:40-04:00

Growth is one of the biggest reasons our clients choose HERO.

Whether you’re hiring more employees, moving into new offices, or expanding to remote teams—we make it easy to scale. Our cloud-first, security-driven IT framework is built for flexibility. We can provision devices, set up remote users, expand your network, or deploy new software in days—not weeks.

You won’t need to renegotiate your contract every time you grow. Our plans are designed to scale, and our vCIO team is always looking ahead—helping you budget, plan, and execute growth strategies without worrying about technical limitations.
