Hardware procurement
Navigating the complexities of which IT hardware your environment requires can be daunting, which is why we integrate it into our yearly IT roadmap meetings!
We assist in identifying and sourcing the most suitable and cost-effective hardware solutions to meet your specific business needs. We work directly with our distributor Ingram Micro to get you lower prices than you would get if you were to buy the hardware yourself.
License and vendor management
Effective license and vendor management are crucial for maintaining legal compliance and cost efficiency. Shartega IT simplifies this process for your business, taking care of software license tracking, renewal, and compliance, and ensuring you’re getting the most from your vendor contracts.
We negotiate on your behalf and maintain healthy vendor relationships, all aimed at achieving the best value and service for your organization.

Our IT consulting service is focused on aligning technology strategies with your business objectives. Whether you’re planning a new project, undergoing digital transformation, or seeking to optimize your current IT infrastructure, our technology alignment manager and vcIO provide guidance to help you make informed decisions.

FAQ
What are the main benefits of using a managed services provider?
The main benefit is that your company gets unlimited access to the IT services you need without having to hire it yourselves. By offloading your IT burdens to a services provider, you’ll immediately have a team of certified engineers that are ready to tackle your tech issues.
What IT services are included?
Here are some examples: 24/7 Chicago-based help desk, onboarding/offboarding employees, network management, server management, asset management, data backup, disaster recovery, hardware procurement & upgrades, cybersecurity solutions, VoIP phone/UCaaS systems, and more!
What is the difference between break/fix and managed IT services?
The key difference between these two approaches is that break/fix services are reactive and transactional, while managed IT services are proactive and ongoing. Break/fix services are suitable for businesses with infrequent IT needs, while managed IT services are more appropriate for businesses with complex and critical technology infrastructures that require ongoing management services and support.
How does pricing work?
Our pricing works like a subscription. You pay monthly per the number of users in your organization and you get unlimited access to everything we offer. If you hire a new employee, we add a user to your plan, and your price increases accordingly. If someone leaves your company, you now have fewer users, and your cost goes down.
Is my company too small/large?
We typically work with small businesses and medium sized businesses that have between 20-200 employees, but we also have clients that are smaller and larger than that.
How long have you been doing this?
Shartega IT has been a trusted managed IT services provider in the Chicago area since 2001!
