Remote helpdesk, on-site support, monitoring, Microsoft 365, security and reporting — one accountable team instead of a hire, a vendor and a gap between them.
Get an IT AssessmentMost growing companies do not fail for lack of a printer driver. They fail because nobody owns patching, leavers still have mailboxes, backups were never restored, and the only IT person is also running operations. Building an internal department means salary, tools, after-hours cover and a replacement plan. Paying only when something breaks means you discover the gap on a trading day.
IT Guy Solutions is the outsourced IT department: helpdesk, monitoring, cybersecurity, networks and Microsoft 365 under one team. Work is delivered from Louis Trichardt / Makhado and Sandton, with nationwide remote support. On-site visits stay inside catchments we can actually reach — see coverage.
Staff keep working. Finance sees one monthly number. Directors have a named contact, a published SLA and a portal for tickets — not a WhatsApp group that goes quiet on Friday afternoon.

SMEs, multi-site operators, schools, retailers, professional firms, hospitality sites and warehouses that need an accountable IT function — typically from a handful of users to a few hundred — without standing up an internal department. If you already pay another provider, start at switching IT providers.
| Priority | Example | Target response | Plans |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 Critical | Whole business offline | 30 minutes during contracted hours | IT Complete, Enterprise (optional 24/7) |
| P2 High | Department or core service unavailable | 1 hour | IT Business and above |
| P3 Normal | Individual user issue | 2–4 hours | All contracted plans |
| P4 Request | New user, software or change | Same or next business day | All contracted plans |
These are operational targets we are prepared to put in the agreement — not a promise of zero downtime. They apply during contracted hours. Essential plans are business-hours P3/P4 unless you upgrade. Ticket status is visible to contracted customers in My IT Guy. Live SLA countdown in the portal is being expanded; until that view is live, the written SLA in your agreement is the source of truth.
We cover the operational load a small internal team would carry: tickets, monitoring, licences, onboarding and vendors. Strategy sits in vCIO reviews on higher tiers. We do not claim to replace a full-time CIO.
Most tickets are remote. Hardware, cabling, access points and some server work still need an engineer on the floor. That is why both offices exist.
If we issued a Job ID or Field ID, enter it on the public job tracker. Logged-in customers still use My IT Guy for tickets.
Remote support is nationwide. Same-day on-site in a city we do not staff is not something we advertise. We will say which sites are on-site, scheduled, or remote-only.
