FAQ | Memphis Managed IT Services | Netcosa
Answers to common questions about Netcosa's managed IT services, HIPAA compliance, pricing, and support for Memphis healthcare and logistics businesses.
What is managed IT services?
Managed IT services means we handle all your technology needs for a fixed monthly fee. Instead of calling someone when things break (and paying by the hour), we proactively monitor your systems 24/7, prevent problems before they happen, and provide unlimited support when you need help. You get predictable IT costs and a team that actually wants to keep your systems running smoothly.
How is Netcosa different from other MSPs?
We answer the phone. That sounds simple, but it’s the number one reason clients come to us — their previous IT company stopped responding. Our average response time for critical issues is under 15 minutes. Beyond responsiveness, we specialize in industries with compliance requirements — HIPAA, SOC 2, OSHA — and we know your specific software. You get a local team that shows up, not a call center that puts you on hold.
What does HIPAA compliance actually require?
HIPAA requires healthcare organizations to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect patient information (ePHI). This includes security risk assessments, written policies and procedures, staff training, access controls, encryption, audit logging, and business associate agreements with vendors. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) can impose penalties up to $1.5 million per violation category. We handle the technical requirements and documentation so you can focus on patient care.
Does Netcosa provide IT support for warehouse and logistics companies in Memphis?
Yes. Netcosa provides warehouse IT support in Memphis for warehousing, distribution and 3PL, freight and transportation, cold chain, and manufacturing operations. We offer 24/7 monitoring for multi-shift facilities, support for WMS platforms such as Manhattan Associates and Blue Yonder, and RF scanner fleet management, with an average response time under 15 minutes for critical issues. Our competitive research found only 2 of 11 local MSPs even mention logistics as a specialty — for us, it’s a core vertical.
How quickly do you respond to support requests?
Netcosa responds to critical support requests in under 15 minutes on average, backed by an SLA. The industry average for critical issues is 4+ hours. For managed services clients, we provide 24/7 monitoring and support, and standard requests are typically addressed within 2-4 hours during business hours. We also offer on-site support throughout the Memphis metro area when remote troubleshooting isn’t sufficient.
What areas around Memphis does Netcosa serve?
Netcosa provides managed IT services across the Memphis metro area, including Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Southaven, Olive Branch, and West Memphis. That covers Shelby County (TN), DeSoto County (MS), and Crittenden County (AR). Our SLA targets under 15 minutes for remote response on critical issues, and because our team is based in Memphis, we’re on-site the same business day when remote troubleshooting isn’t enough. Pricing stays flat per user with no distance surcharges. See our Memphis metro service areas for city-by-city details.
What’s included in your managed services pricing?
Our per-user monthly pricing includes 24/7 system monitoring, help desk support, patch management, security tools, and proactive maintenance. Pricing varies by tier and industry—regulated industries typically need additional compliance features. See our IT support pricing breakdown, or we’ll provide a custom quote based on your specific needs after a free IT assessment.
Do you require long-term contracts?
We typically work with month-to-month agreements after an initial 90-day period. We believe you should stay with us because we’re delivering value, not because you’re locked into a contract. That said, some services like backup appliances may require minimum terms due to hardware investments.
Can you help us migrate to Microsoft 365?
Absolutely. We’ve completed 18+ Microsoft 365 migrations for compliance-driven businesses. We handle email migration, SharePoint deployment, Teams configuration, and security setup. Our proven process ensures zero data loss and minimal disruption to your daily operations.
What if we already have an IT person?
Many of our clients have internal IT staff. We can work alongside your team, handling 24/7 monitoring, security, and overflow support while your IT person focuses on strategic projects and user support. This co-managed approach gives you the best of both worlds—local knowledge plus enterprise-grade tools and expertise.
