Endpoint Protection

Every device your team touches is secured with endpoint detection, email security and multi-factor authentication.

Data Backup & Disaster Recovery

We make sure your critical data is safe and you stay in business - because downtime just isn't an option.

Why Do Omaha Businesses Choose Managed IT Services?

Omaha businesses choose managed IT services because they get proactive monitoring, predictable monthly costs and dedicated local support that helps prevent problems instead of just firefighting.

After more than 20 years of working with businesses across Omaha and the surrounding Midwest, we've learned a thing or two. IT support isn't just about fixing the problem when it breaks - it's about stopping it from breaking in the first place.

2-300x300

A Dedicated Team That Actually Know You

You'll work with the same people, call after call. Our IT helpdesk is made up of our Omaha support services team - not outsourced help. When you submit a support ticket you are talking to someone who already knows your setup, business needs and goals.

Managed IT services give you access to a whole team of specialists rather than relying on a couple of internal staff. That's broader expertise and faster resolution.

Proactive Monitoring, Not Reactive Firefighting

Seventy percent of IT issues can be prevented. With proactive IT management through managed services you can reduce IT issues over time, and that translates to real money in your pocket. Businesses moving to managed IT typically see issues drop by up to 92% in the first three months.

We've got 24/7 oversight for connectivity, performance, security and network outgoings - we catch problems before they cost you money. Our management solutions focus on keeping your whole team productive, not waiting on hold for someone to sort out what went wrong.

Businesses using managed IT achieve higher productivity by minimizing down time and allowing teams to focus on the real job. That's what it's all about.

Technology Solutions That Scale With You

Whether you are a 15 person shop or pushing towards 75 employees, our service packages are built to scale with you. Managed IT services provide tailored solutions that align with your specific needs and goals, ensuring optimal efficiency.

We aren't trying to fit every business into the same box. The sweet spot for fully managed IT services tends to be 15 to 75 employees, but every business is unique. Let's have a conversation about what makes sense for you.

How Does Ascend Approach Managed IT Differently?

We do it differently than most managed services companies. We're not here to rack up billable hours or upsell you on things you don't need. We are here to be a partner - someone who helps you streamline operations, enhances security and makes technology work for your business not against it.

What that looks like in practice:

Transparent pricing with a predictable monthly fee

You can budget once, no surprise invoices.

Getting real strategic advice from an IT partner

We really have your back in every way while in service to your business' goals and future prosperity.

Rapid response to IT issues

Sorted in a timely manner, not next week.

Keeping you on track

We stay on top of business continuity planning so no bad day turns into a full on quarter disaster

Staying ahead of the game

We utilize proactive monitoring that detects & resolves issues before they ever even get a chance to bite your business

Our clients trust us because we call it like it is. If a service we provide is going to cost you some cash, we're upfront about it. And if there's a way to save you some serious money without cutting any corners on security, we'll find it for you. Managed IT services really do help take the sting out of needing one or more internal IT staff, all while stopping any potential downtime-related losses dead in their tracks.

How Much Do Managed IT Services Cost in Omaha?

Omaha MSPs generally charge between $125 to $175 per user per month for full-service management. That's 24/7 monitoring, patching, helpdesk support, endpoint security, managed desktops, managed servers, and firewall protection - all part of the package.

Small one-time projects like a network refresh or Microsoft 365 migration can run anywhere from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on the scope and complexity.

With managed services, you pay a predictable monthly fee for proactive IT management. No more surprise repair costs! We know that many teams are stretched thin, and managed services really do complement existing IT staff by handling day-to-day tasks like maintenance, patching, and helpdesk support.

Which Industries Really Need Managed IT Services?

Local managed IT service providers can offer up tailored IT solutions that really align with the specific industry needs and regulatory requirements - the kinds of things that really do keep you up at night. We've got deep expertise across several industries where technology, compliance, and uptime really do intersect.

Each of these verticals has its own challenges, and local managed IT service providers in Omaha really do get the regulatory landscape here, including HIPAA mandates and FINRA requirements. We know Omaha, we know Nebraska. A managed IT provider that treats a CPA firm the same as a manufacturing plant just isn't paying attention. We are.

Accounting Firms

The numbers game doesn't wait for IT problems. Our managed IT services make sure you're all squared away with FTC and AICPA data protection standards, and we'll handle those seasonal processing spikes so your firm stays on target during filing periods.

Law Firms

Confidentiality is non-negotiable. We keep attorney-client privilege intact with encrypted communication, secure document management, and we're all about aligning with ABA cybersecurity guidelines which is why we are endorsed by the Omaha Bar Association.

Manufacturers

Time on the production floor is money. We connect operational tech with business systems while keeping your manufacturing infrastructure running like clockwork.

Nonprofits

Tight budgets, same security needs. Nonprofits face the same cybersecurity threats and data protection requirements as for-profit orgs, but we deliver enterprise-level protection that fits your budget.

Education

Keeping students and staff connected. Educational institutions need network infrastructure that can handle hundreds of users at the same time while meeting FERPA student data privacy requirements

Small & Midsize Businesses

You're the backbone of Omaha's economy. Businesses with 15 to 75 employees in a nutshell lack the budget for a full internal IT department but still need that enterprise-level security & support.

Cybersecurity should be at the top of every small to midsize business' to-do list - preventing cyber threats from getting into company systems & data. That's why advanced threat detection & continuous monitoring are included in every service package we deliver. Not some add-on, not a one-off. Our cybersecurity measures include ransomware protection & a 24/7 security ops center that's always on the lookout.

I reached out to the team at Ascend late on a Friday afternoon with a security questionnaire that a client was requiring. I didn't understand many of the questions they asked and clearly didn't know the answers. The Ascend team had the questionnaire completed and turned in for me before I opened my email on Saturday morning! Always above an beyond is all I can say!

We have been so impressed with the level of service from Ascend. From setting up with all of the hardware we need, to helping us with software installations, the team has been responsive, friendly, and so helpful! We've sought their expertise on organization of assets, setting up team calendars, and reworking our SharePoint. Every interaction has made our team feel like they are fully invested in our success, and that they are truly a part of our team. I jokingly say that Ascend's level of customer service has spoiled me for other vendors, but in all seriousness, it's true! It's very easy to communicate with them through the email ticket system or a call to the help desk. I'd name specific team members, but at this point, I've worked with just about everyone, and each is a stellar representative of the company who makes our lives so much easier with their knowledge and willingness to solve any problems that come up.

I felt kind of foolish pulling Ascend in for support. I tried to fix the problem on my own, but I was getting frustrated, and I couldn't figure things out. They were understanding and fixed the problem quickly and professionally. They were happy to help in any way that they could and truly wanted to make my job easier. I really am happy with the Ascend's technicians, they're friendly, helpful and patient. This is really needed at our school.
