Managed IT services Sydney
Managed IT services are an ongoing arrangement where a provider takes responsibility for running and improving your IT, instead of fixing problems one job at a time. Elscomm has been a managed service provider (MSP) for Sydney businesses since 2006. We support your staff, monitor and patch your systems, keep security and backups in place, and plan what comes next. Our business address is Level 25, 100 Mount Street, North Sydney NSW 2060, and we support businesses across Greater Sydney.

Works alongside
Day to day
An IT MSP, sometimes called an MSP service provider, takes over the running of your technology under one agreement. Our IT managed services support your staff, devices and systems every working day, with security monitoring running around the clock. We built our managed IT services for businesses of 15 to 70 staff, and the same team runs every part of it.
Most of the work is quiet. A new starter gets a laptop and accounts on day one. A leaver loses access the same afternoon. Patches go out on a schedule and backups get checked. When something breaks, your staff call a help desk who already knows your setup. Good IT managed support looks like this most weeks: nothing dramatic, and nobody waiting.
Your internet connection, phones and business software all sit with other suppliers. Our internet managed services cover the connection itself: we log faults with the carrier, chase them until they close and confirm your office is back online. An internet managed service like this keeps your office manager off hold, and like all our managed IT service solutions, it is run by the same team who looks after your help desk.
Compare your options
Three ways to run IT for a business of 15 to 70 staff. Many end up with a mix: one internal person who knows the business, backed by an MSP for security, projects and depth.
| Managed IT | Break-fix | In-house IT | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | An ongoing agreement | Per job or per hour | Salary and on-costs |
| Who prevents problems | The provider, as part of the service | Nobody, until something breaks | Your staff member, when they have time |
| Cover when someone is away | A team | Whoever is available | Often none |
| Skills | A team of specialists | Varies by job | One person's skill set |
| Security monitoring | 24/7, built into the service | Usually none | Hard for one person to cover |
| Best for | 15 to 70 staff wanting planned IT | Small, simple setups | Larger organisations, or alongside an MSP |
Managed IT Sydney pricing
Most IT managed services providers charge a fixed fee per user, per month. Where you land depends on what sits inside the fee: on-site visits, after-hours cover, security tools and how often you meet to plan.
Most IT support managed services in Sydney follow this model, so ask what sits outside the fee. Projects, new hardware and licences usually do.
We quote a fixed monthly price after a free IT assessment, with every extra listed in writing, and your IT managed services provider should do the same. That is how we run managed services IT Sydney-wide: one price and one written scope.
Switching to Elscomm
The biggest risk in changing provider is the outgoing provider holding your credentials, documentation or licences. We take over in a set order, so the switch runs in the background. Most staff only notice a new support contact.
We document your users, devices, sites, Microsoft 365, backups, security tools and vendors.
We confirm admin access and ownership of your domain, Microsoft 365 and key systems, in your business name.
Monitoring, patching, endpoint protection and backup checks go live across every device.
Your team learns how to get help and who they will be talking to.
You get a risk and improvement plan, so leadership sees what needs attention first.
Choosing a provider
Whether or not you choose Elscomm, ask these before you sign with a managed service provider in Sydney. Good providers answer them easily and put the answers in writing.
10 questions before you sign
The bigger picture
Managed service providers Australia-wide range from one-person operators to national firms with hundreds of staff. Search MSP Australia and the list runs for pages.
The managed service provider industry splits roughly in two: operators built for sole traders and micro businesses at one end, and consultancies built for enterprise at the other. Neither serves a 40-person firm well.
Elscomm is an Australian MSP built for the gap in between. If you are weighing a managed service provider Australia-wide against a local one, ask who turns up on site when the network goes down.
The managed service providers Sydney firms shortlist tend to fall into the same two camps. Some IT managed services companies chase volume; others are managed service provider companies with Sydney added to a national brand. Look for managed services providers who know your sector and give you a named team. Managed IT services companies and managed services companies sell under different labels, but the label matters less than the scope you sign.
Ask the IT managed service providers Sydney businesses use whether they publish live ticket scores. We do. When the managed IT service providers Sydney firms rely on sit interstate, on-site visits slow down, while a managed service IT provider based in North Sydney reaches the CBD and North Shore quickly. Before you pick an MSP provider, check where its engineers are based.
Elscomm is a managed IT company and a managed IT support company in one: the same team plans your IT and answers your help desk calls. Since 2006 we have been the MSP Sydney businesses of 15 to 70 staff call, and a managed IT services provider Sydney teams can reach on site. Comparing providers side by side?

Who it suits
Most of our clients have between 15 and 70 staff: too big for one person who knows computers, too small for a full internal IT department. If you have fewer than about 15 staff, a full managed arrangement is usually more than you need, and we will tell you.
Industry pages: accounting, financial services, construction, healthcare, schools and medium businesses.
Planning
Running IT day to day is half the job. The other half is deciding what comes next. Our IT management support gives owners and managers a clear view of where their IT stands and what it will cost to improve.
We meet with leadership on a regular schedule, and we sit in on board meetings when you want direct input. Each review covers risk, spend, licences and the projects worth doing next. For a longer-term roadmap, see our IT strategy and vCIO services.
As you add staff, sites or new software, the plan changes with you. Sydney IT managed services should scale without a new contract every year. Our Sydney managed IT services do.
Get started
Every engagement starts with a free assessment, so you see where you stand before you commit to anything.
FAQs
Straight answers to what Sydney businesses ask before choosing a managed service provider.
Managed IT is usually priced per user or per device each month. The price depends on how many staff and devices you have, how many sites, your Microsoft 365 licensing, your security requirements and how much on-site support you need. Elscomm gives a fixed quote after a free IT assessment, with every extra listed in writing.
Managed IT support is ongoing IT support delivered for a fixed monthly fee. Instead of calling someone when something breaks, a managed IT provider runs your help desk, monitors and patches your devices, manages Microsoft 365, keeps security and backups in place, and plans what comes next. Elscomm provides managed IT support for Sydney businesses of 15 to 70 staff.
An ongoing arrangement where an external provider takes responsibility for running and improving your IT. The provider supports staff, monitors and patches systems, keeps security and backups in place, and plans what comes next, usually under a monthly agreement.

Elscomm is a managed service provider based in North Sydney (business address: Level 25, 100 Mount Street), looking after Sydney businesses of 15 to 70 staff since 2006. We support businesses across North Sydney, the Sydney CBD, Chatswood, the Northern Beaches, Parramatta, Norwest and Penrith.
Help desk support (remote and on-site), monitoring and patching, 24/7 security monitoring, Microsoft 365 administration, backups, network management, staff onboarding and offboarding, vendor coordination and regular IT planning. We write the exact scope into the agreement.
Break-fix IT is paid per job when something goes wrong, so nobody is responsible for preventing problems. A managed service provider is paid an ongoing fee to keep your IT running, secure and up to date, so prevention is part of the job.
The work keeping things from breaking happens while everything runs: patching, monitoring, checking backups, renewing licences and fixing small faults before they stop people working. Under break-fix, this work usually never happens.
Check five things before you sign: written response times for urgent and routine issues, exactly what is included and what is billed as extra, what security comes as standard, that your admin accounts and domain stay in your business name, and how the provider hands everything back if you leave. Ask any provider for these in writing, and start with a free IT assessment so you can compare like for like.
