Fully Managed IT for SMB

WE RUN YOUR IT. YOU RUN YOUR BUSINESS.

> Business IT Realities

When Immature IT Management Starts Dragging You Back.

You already have IT support in place. It might be a provider, or someone internally wearing the IT hat, but it is not really working.
Instead of helping the business move forward, IT has become reactive. Issues are fixed after they disrupt your team. Security and risk are handled piece by piece. Decisions are made tactically, without a clear roadmap.

The result is that IT starts dragging you back. It consumes time, attention, and momentum when it should be quietly enabling growth.

What growing businesses actually need is not more IT effort.
They need proactive, managed IT that adds value in the background and supports the business as it grows, rather than slowing it down.

Mature, Fully Managed IT. Secure & Scalable.

Lexel provides a fully managed IT service designed for SMBs that need stability, security, and room to grow.

Our approach brings the service maturity, capability, and discipline typically found in enterprise environments and delivers it in a form that is appropriate and accessible for SMBs. You benefit from proven standards, experienced engineers, and structured service management without the cost or complexity of building it yourself.

Security hardening is included as standard, not added later. The service is delivered under a fixed price model where our incentives are aligned with yours. We do not profit from IT disruption. The fewer incidents you experience, the better the outcome for everyone.

 

Our goal is simple: to stabilise your IT environment, remove the root causes of recurring issues, and ensure your technology reliably supports the business as it grows.

If you want a stable, capable IT partner with a long‑term view, Lexel is built for that role.

Your Questions, Answered

Do you require a long-term contract?

It depends on the circumstances. Where Lexel is required to invest in remediation to bring an environment up to best‑practice standards, a minimum contract term may be required. Similarly, if Lexel is providing assets as part of the monthly service fee, a minimum term will apply. Customers may also request price certainty for a longer fixed term, in which case a corresponding contract term would be applied.

How is pricing structured?

We have a base core fee which is based on the number of devices or users you have, which then supports your end users and manages your Office365 tenancy. We then have options for network, on premise servers or advanced security.

Is security Included?

Lexel includes Office365 tenancy hardening ‘as included’, by contrast most MSP’s do not. For our SMB clients we follow the Essential Eight security framework standards, with most of the Essential Eight standards being included in our core offering. In addition, customer can take our Enhanced or Advanced Security options which adds additional proactive security log monitoring and response over and above the base hardening.

I’m concerned about overage and extra charges?

Lexel’s pricing philosophy is to make the service as fixed price and predictable as possible. Our team will proactively improve your environment to reduce IT disruption and at the same time reduce the operational cost for Lexel. Our ambitious goal is zero incident tickets, and we continuously work towards achieving this.

By contrast, some MSP’s profit from your disruption. They make extra revenue through charging you extra when you have incidents, thus they are never truly incentivised to improved or remove that disruption from your environment.

Do I get charged for Projects?

For major projects yes, typically including the likes of upgrading servers, adding new PC’s, adding new branches etc. However, many minor projects are included in the core fee like the continuous security hardening of your Office365 environment or proactive maintenance on your server or PC operating systems. As an option, some clients ask for major projects to be annualised into the monthly fee.

Will you support my existing and old technology?

Typically yes, but only as an interim and with the customer commitment to upgrade the equipment to a Supportable State which includes compliance to Lexel’s standards for age, type and configuration.
