# blueBox
|
||||
|
||||
**We build your IT. Then we run it.**
|
||||
**Your own server. In your office. Managed by us.**

## What is blueBox?
|
||||
|
||||
blueBox is a turnkey IT build. We spec the hardware, build the server, set it up in your office, configure everything your team needs, and then manage it going forward. One company does the whole job.
|
||||
It's where your business digitally lives. One box, in your office, with everything your team needs to work - file sharing, backups, remote access, user accounts, security. All of it.
|
||||
|
||||
The size of the build depends on your business. A 5-person office gets a different setup than a 30-person operation with multiple sites. We scope it to what you actually need, and you own everything we install.
|
||||
We build the box, install it on-site, and manage it going forward. Your data stays in your building. Need more capacity? Bigger box. Need disaster recovery? We back up the box. Need more services? We add them.

## What Gets Built
|
||||
## What You Get
|
||||
|
||||
### The Core: Your Infrastructure
|
||||
- A server in your office that you own - your files, your data, your control
|
||||
- File sharing that works the way your team needs it to
|
||||
- Backups that actually run, with encrypted off-site copies
|
||||
- Remote access so your team can work from anywhere
|
||||
- Redundant storage - a dead drive doesn't stop your day
|
||||
- Accounts and permissions configured for your staff
|
||||
- A documented network you can hand to anyone if you ever need to
|
||||
|
||||
- On-site server that you own - not a shared cloud VM
|
||||
- File sharing with proper access controls
|
||||
- Daily backups with encrypted off-site copies
|
||||
- Secure remote access for your team
|
||||
- Redundant storage so a dead drive doesn't kill your day
|
||||
- User accounts and permissions set up for your team
|
||||
- Network configured, documented, and handed over clean

|
||||
|
||||
Once the build is done, we take over day-to-day management: monitoring, security, support, patching, backups. Same service we run for all our managed IT clients.
|
||||
## Then We Manage It
|
||||
|
||||
### Optional Extras
|
||||
Once the box is in, we handle everything going forward. Monitoring, security, patching, backups, support. Same managed IT service we run for all our clients.
|
||||
|
||||
**Custom Website** - A real website built for your business. Custom design, search optimization, contact forms that work, and analytics. Hosted on your infrastructure, managed by us. Most clients add this during the initial build.
|
||||
The difference is you don't have to find a separate company after the install. We built it, we know it inside out, and we keep it running. One call for everything.
|
||||
|
||||
**Business Tools (BOOM)** - Invoicing, quoting, client tracking, scheduling, asset management, and reporting. Your own branded system with a client portal. No per-seat software fees. Added when you're ready.
|
||||
See [Managed IT](/managed/) for details on what's included in ongoing management.

**What size business is this for?**
|
||||
5 to 50 employees. Works for most industries - transportation, construction, trades, professional services, retail. We don't do healthcare or legal where there's heavy compliance requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
**Do I need the website and business tools too?**
|
||||
No. The core is the infrastructure build and management. Website and business tools are extras you can add during setup or later.
|
||||
|
||||
**Do I need new computers?**
|
||||
Probably not. We look at what you have and only suggest replacing machines that genuinely can't keep up.
|
||||
**What if my business grows?**
|
||||
Bigger business, bigger box. We upgrade the hardware, add storage, or deploy a second box at another location. You don't start over.
|
||||
|
||||
**What about QuickBooks / Office 365 / etc?**
|
||||
We don't rip out what's working. Your existing software stays. We fill in the gaps around it.

|
||||
|
||||
**Contract?**
|
||||
The build is paid upfront (or in installments). The ongoing management is a 12-month term, billed monthly, price locked. 90 days notice to cancel, no penalties. The hardware is yours either way.

**On-site visits?**
|
||||
$90 per visit plus mileage over 50km. Most stuff gets handled remotely.
