Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services, packages, and support.

Managed IT Services: We proactively monitor and manage your entire IT infrastructure 24/7. We fix issues before they affect your business, handle updates and backups automatically, and provide support as needed—all under one monthly fee.

  • Scale: R14,000/month — Full IT management, security audits, disaster recovery, dedicated support
