Managing IT doesn’t have to be complicated. Advantage 360 is a comprehensive IT management platform that takes the stress out of technology. With a relentless focus on simplicity, security, and stability, we ensure your systems run smoothly, your data stays safe, and your team gets the world-class support they need to stay productive. From day-to-day troubleshooting to proactive planning, Advantage 360 is your trusted partner in creating an IT environment that just works—so you can focus on what matters most.
Onboarding Process
Starting with Advantage 360 is straightforward. We begin by understanding your specific challenges and goals. Combining your insights with our assessments, we identify areas for improvement and potential risks. This collaboration results in a customized plan that minimizes downtime and aligns with your budget. We manage the transition to a more secure and efficient IT environment, allowing you to focus on your business.
No Long-Term Contracts
Advantage 360 is only a 12 month commitment, not the typical 3-5 years that so many of our competitors lock you into. We’d rather earn your business each year than be stuck in a bad marriage.
Pricing Transparency
We don’t have “hidden” fees, renewals, subscriptions, etc. Advantage 360 is the most comprehensive and transparent IT management platform available.
Advantage Value Guarantee
As an Advantage client, you get access to our group buying power representing over 700 clients. We pass that savings along to you. If you find a competitive quote that has a comparable scope of equipment and services by a qualified IT company, Advantage will always beat it.
Next Generation Firewall
We include a next generation firewall and smart switches for your entire office as part of your management. Nothing to buy up front, no subscriptions, always under warranty, updated and managed and replaced at end of life automatically.
Ransomware Canaries
Ransomware can be devastating, but with Advantage 360, you can stay one step ahead. Our platform uses ‘ransomware canaries’—small, decoy files strategically placed within your system. If ransomware tries to encrypt these files, it triggers an immediate alert, just like a canary warning miners of danger.
This early warning system allows us to act swiftly, stopping ransomware in its tracks before it can harm your critical data. It’s an extra layer of protection that gives you the confidence to know your business is secure against evolving cyber threats.
Anti-Virus
With Advantage 360, your anti-virus protection is one less thing to worry about. We provide end-to-end monitoring and management of your anti-virus solution, ensuring it’s always up-to-date and running at peak performance.
Our proactive approach means we’re constantly scanning for threats, applying updates, and resolving issues before they become problems—all without you lifting a finger. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your systems are shielded from cyber threats by a team of experts dedicated to keeping your business secure.
Managed and Secure WiFi
Advantage 360 provides comprehensive WiFi coverage with secure internal and open guest access throughout your space. There’s no upfront cost; management, updates, and warranties are all included.
Overwatch
Overwatch is designed to prevent attacks before they occur by identifying and testing for vulnerabilities in your network from an external perspective. It alerts us to any exposed entry points before cybercriminals can exploit them.
Backup Management
Local and cloud backup of all of your selected systems. Fully encrypted, monitored by our security team, and documented. We have two styles of backup depending on your needs:
Standard backup – includes complete local backup and cloud backup.
CloudPlus BDR – think of this as a “standby server”. In addition as a local and cloud backup, it can also work as an emergency server in the event your main server is offline. This provides a recovery window measured in minutes, with minimal downtime.
Network Management
Lifecycle Management
Last-minute hardware failures and unexpected expenses? Not on our watch. With Advantage 360, we take the guesswork out of managing your technology. Our lifecycle management process evaluates the age and performance of your equipment, creating a clear, proactive plan for upgrades and replacements.
By aligning with your goals, timelines, and budget, we help you avoid unexpected downtime and expensive emergency fixes. Instead, you’ll have a well-structured roadmap that keeps your IT running smoothly and your finances predictable—giving you the confidence to plan for the future without worrying about surprise costs.
Documentation and Accountability
With Advantage 360, you’re never in the dark about your IT. We maintain thorough, up-to-date documentation that serves as a cornerstone of accountability and compliance. From system configurations to security protocols, we keep meticulous records to ensure your business meets insurance and regulatory requirements without hassle.
This documentation isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about transparency. It provides a clear picture of your IT environment, demonstrates our commitment to safeguarding your systems, and offers peace of mind knowing you’re prepared for audits or insurance claims. It’s one more way we protect your business while building trust every step of the way.
Monitoring, Alerts, and Proactive Action
Every day, our advanced systems and dedicated team review your network health alerts, backups, and system logs with a watchful eye. We’re constantly on the lookout for any early signs of potential issues, no matter how small.
This proactive monitoring approach ensures we can detect and address challenges before they escalate into costly downtime—the ultimate disruptor for any business. By catching problems early, we keep your systems running smoothly, protect your productivity, and give you the peace of mind that your IT is always one step ahead of trouble.
