Why Des Moines businesses move to managed IT

Three situations that end with a call to us

Managed IT replaces the scramble with a system. Here is what changes.

Outgrowing a one-person IT setup

One employee, or the owner, carries IT on the side. Updates slip, backups are unverified, and every outage is a fire drill.

What changesA full team behind one number: helpdesk, engineers, a security desk and an IT director. Documentation for every system you own, and proactive tickets we open before you notice.

A provider that stopped responding

The current MSP answers in days, not minutes, and nobody there knows your environment anymore.

What changes13-second average phone wait, 94% answered live, 9.8-minute first response on email. Named engineers who learn your business during a structured onboarding, verified by SOC 2 Type 2 audit.
What is included

Seven things every managed IT plan covers in Des Moines

One agreement, one monthly fee, one team accountable for all of it.

01

24/7 helpdesk

Unlimited support by phone, email and portal for every employee, with a person answering in 13 seconds on average and after-hours coverage by engineers.

02

Monitoring and patching

Every server, workstation, firewall and switch monitored around the clock; operating systems and applications patched on a schedule, with exceptions reported.

03

Cybersecurity

Endpoint protection, 24/7 threat monitoring and response, email security, phishing training and an incident plan written for your business.

04

Microsoft 365 and Azure

Licensing, migration, MFA and conditional access, backup of 365 data, SharePoint and Teams governance, and Azure infrastructure where it fits.

05

Backup and disaster recovery

Image and file backups on site and in the cloud, documented recovery objectives, and quarterly restore tests so the plan is proven, not assumed.

06

Vendor and project management

We own the calls with your internet, phone, software and hardware vendors, and run projects such as office moves, migrations and refreshes.

07

A dedicated IT director

A vCIO who runs quarterly business reviews, builds the technology budget and roadmap, and turns IT from a cost you tolerate into a plan you understand.

Managed or co-managed

Two ways to work with NetStandard in Des Moines

Fully managed IT is for businesses that do not want to build an IT department: we are the helpdesk, the engineers, the security desk and the IT director, on one monthly fee. Most clients between 10 and 250 employees run this way.

Co-managed IT is for organizations that already have an IT manager or a small team. Your people stay the face of IT and keep the work they want; we add 24/7 coverage, enterprise tooling, an escalation bench and a vCIO. You draw the line between the two, and you can redraw it any time.

Either way the same Des Moines office, the same 24/7 desk and the same measured response times apply. If you are not sure which fits, the free assessment ends with a straight recommendation, including when a smaller engagement is the right answer.

Pricing that stays flat

Per user or per device, monthly, scaled to how much responsibility shifts to us.

  • Fully managed: the complete department
  • Co-managed: meaningfully less, your team keeps a share
  • Projects quoted separately, never surprise invoices

What clients say

What NetStandard clients say

"I emailed NetStandard this morning at 5:40am when I discovered our internet was off-line. Adam Heuser responded right back... During my production meeting around 7:15am I received an email from Adam letting me know it was restored. Well done, I didn't expect a response that early in the morning."

Ron SkaggsGoogle review, 2026

"We have used NetStandard for several years now and... the service I receive is always fast! They always take the time to make sure I am satisfied with their solutions, and they are quick to get problems resolved! It's comforting to know they are there for our IT needs!"

Julie CombsGoogle review, 2026

"They are amazing and quick. Service is always within 24 hours and they follow up to ensure everything works as it should. Would recommend to anyone needing a competent, friendly and efficient IT company."

Heather McCoyGoogle review, 2026

"We turned to NetStandard after experiencing an internal IT failure, and their team responded swiftly, dedicating countless hours to getting us back up and running... We often feel like we are their only customer... As a government agency, we operate under strict laws and guidelines for technology security, and NetStandard has consistently met and exceeded those standards."

Questions

Managed IT in Des Moines: the questions we hear first

What does a managed IT services agreement in Des Moines include?

Everything an internal IT department would do, on one monthly fee: a 24/7 helpdesk, monitoring and patching of every server, workstation and network device, cybersecurity tooling and response, Microsoft 365 and Azure administration, backup and disaster recovery, vendor management, and a dedicated IT director who runs quarterly reviews, budgets and the technology roadmap.

How much do managed IT services cost in Des Moines?

A flat monthly fee based on the number of users and devices and the services in scope. That makes the cost predictable and, for most small and midsize businesses, well below the fully loaded cost of hiring. Our managed IT pricing guide explains the drivers; a discovery call produces an exact quote.

Is NetStandard local to Des Moines?

Yes. Our Des Moines office is at 204 12th Street, Suite 205, downtown, and engineers go on site across the metro. NetStandard has delivered managed IT since 1996 from its Overland Park, Kansas headquarters and is SOC 2 Type 2 audited.

What if we already have an IT employee?

Keep them. Co-managed IT adds 24/7 coverage, enterprise tools, an escalation bench and a vCIO around your existing staff, and it costs meaningfully less than fully managed. See co-managed IT services in Des Moines.

How quickly will someone answer when something breaks?

In 13 seconds on average by phone, with 94% of help desk calls answered live; emailed tickets get a first engineer response in 9.8 minutes on average. After hours, a person still answers.

Do you handle cybersecurity, or is that separate?

It is built into every managed IT plan: endpoint protection, 24/7 monitoring and response, email security and phishing training, verified backups and a written incident plan. Deeper programs (compliance frameworks, penetration testing, MDR) are on the Des Moines cybersecurity services page.
