Common jobs we handle

100+Endpoints managed and kept compliant
1:1You always deal with the same person
Sound familiar?
Most small businesses don't have an IT problem.
They have a "nobody owns it" problem.
If tech support at your company means the one employee who's "good with computers," you're carrying more risk than you think.
Nobody knows who has access to what — including accounts for people who left.
Backups are "probably running," but nobody has ever tested a restore.
Every new laptop gets set up slightly differently, so nothing is consistent.
Your last IT guy disappeared, and no one documented a single password.
You're paying for Microsoft 365 licenses nobody has used in months.
Small problems sit for days because there's no one whose job it is to fix them.
What we do
IT support that covers the whole picture
From the daily "my email won't open" to the bigger projects that keep your business running — handled by one team that already knows your environment.
Microsoft 365 administration
Tenant setup, mailboxes, SharePoint and Teams, license clean-up, and security settings configured the way they should be.
Device management with Intune
Enroll laptops and phones, push settings and apps automatically, and wipe a device remotely the moment one goes missing.
Identity & access management
Active Directory, Entra ID, group policy and permissions — set up on least-privilege principles so access always matches who actually works there.
Endpoint security & response
Endpoint detection, multi-factor authentication, DNS filtering and phishing investigation — the same tooling and triage process used in enterprise environments, sized for your business.
Backup & business continuity
Backups configured, monitored, and — the part most people skip — actually test-restored, so you find out they work before you need them.
Also handled: Wi-Fi & networking · printers · new workstations · office moves · Windows 11 migrations · VoIP rollouts · virus & malware removal · PowerShell & Power Automate scripting · vendor coordination & IT purchasing · home and personal computer help
How we work
Three ways to bring us in
Every business is at a different stage. Start wherever makes sense — you can always move up later.
On-demand support
Pay as you go
For businesses that mostly run fine and just need someone reliable to call when something breaks.
- Remote or on-site help when you need it
- Hourly rate, quoted before we start
- No contract, no minimum
- Great for 1–5 person teams
Managed IT

- Documentation you actually own
Projects
Fixed scope
A specific thing that needs doing properly — with a clear price and a clear finish line.
- Microsoft 365 migration or clean-up
- Intune rollout across your devices
- Office move or new-office build-out

Why AlwaysOn IT
Enterprise practices. Small-business treatment.
You shouldn't need a ticket number to talk to someone who remembers your name.
You get a person, not a queue
The same person who set up your systems is the one who picks up when something goes wrong. Nothing gets lost in a handoff.
Plain English, always
We explain what's wrong, what it'll cost, and what happens if you do nothing — in language you can repeat to your accountant.
Security is not an upsell
MFA, endpoint protection, access reviews and tested backups are part of doing the job properly — not a premium tier we hold back to sell you later.
Local to Connecticut
Registered and operating out of Shelton, CT. When a problem genuinely needs hands on the hardware, we can be there — not three time zones away.
Your systems, documented
Passwords, licenses, network layout and account access written down and handed to you. If you ever leave, you leave with everything.
Built on real experience
Five-plus years across help desk, junior system administration and a current system administrator role — not a side project that started last month.
Getting started
Four steps, no pressure
The first conversation costs nothing and doesn't obligate you to anything.
1
Free consultation
A 20-minute call about what you have, what's frustrating you, and what you're spending now.
2
IT assessment
We look at your accounts, devices, network and backups, and tell you honestly what we find.
3
Clear proposal
A written plan with priorities, timelines and a fixed price. No surprises on the invoice.
4
We take it over
We fix what's urgent, tidy what's messy, and keep it running so you stop thinking about it.
"Stress-free, honest, dependable tech support should be available to everyone — whether you're a small business owner or a home user."
— The principle AlwaysOn IT is built on

About us
Enterprise-grade IT, run by someone who does it every day
AlwaysOn IT started from a simple observation: small businesses get the worst end of the IT market. The big providers want a hundred seats before they'll return a call, and the cheap option is whoever's cousin knows computers. There isn't much in between.
AlwaysOn IT is that in between. It's run by a Connecticut-based system administrator who spends the working week doing exactly this at scale — administering Active Directory, Entra ID and Microsoft 365 across multiple sites, keeping 100+ endpoints compliant in Intune, reviewing endpoint security detections, investigating phishing reports, and verifying that backups would actually restore.
The point isn't the credentials. It's that the practices your setup gets here — documented access, tested restores, managed devices, MFA everywhere — are the ones that run in businesses many times your size. Most small businesses never get offered them.
Based in Shelton, CT — serving the Lower Naugatuck Valley and Fairfield, New Haven and Hartford counties on-site, and anywhere remote support makes sense.
Questions
Things people ask before they call
It depends on how many people and devices you have and how much of your environment we're taking on. Rather than publish a number that won't fit you, we'll quote a flat monthly price after a short assessment — and we'll tell you upfront if on-demand support would be cheaper for your situation.
Both. Business support is the core of what we do, but we also help home users with virus removal, new computer setup, Wi-Fi problems and general troubleshooting. Same approach either way — we explain what's wrong before we touch anything.
We're based in Shelton, CT, and cover the Lower Naugatuck Valley, Fairfield County, New Haven County and Hartford County for on-site work, plus the wider New England area by arrangement. A large share of what we do is handled remotely, so if your team is distributed or fully remote, distance usually isn't a problem — get in touch and we'll be straight with you about whether we're a good fit.
Usually, yes — even if only for a second opinion. The free assessment tells you what state your environment is actually in. If your current setup is solid, we'll say so. If there are gaps, you'll know about them, and what you do next is up to you.
No. Managed IT works best as an ongoing relationship, but we're not going to trap you in a multi-year agreement to get there. On-demand and project work have no commitment at all.
You take everything with you. Your accounts, your licenses, your documentation, your passwords — all of it is yours and stays in your name. We don't hold environments hostage, and we'll help hand over cleanly to whoever comes next.
For managed clients, response targets are agreed in writing before we start, with urgent issues taking priority over routine requests. For everyone else, we aim to reply to enquiries within one business day. Scheduled work is typically arranged for evenings, early mornings and weekends — if you need someone physically on site at 11am on a Tuesday, say so upfront and we'll tell you honestly whether we can commit to it.

Still putting up with IT that doesn't work?
A free 20-minute call is usually enough to tell you whether you have a real problem or just an annoying week. Either way, you'll know where you stand.
