The short answer
NetSys provides managed IT to businesses in Colorado: help desk with engineers on the line, 24/7 monitoring, patching, ThreatDown managed detection and response, Microsoft 365 and Intune administration, tested backups and vendor management, for a flat monthly fee per user. Delivery is remote-first from Brooklyn, with the help desk staffed seven days a week from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time (2 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mountain) and emergency service 24/7.

How managed IT is delivered in Colorado
Colorado is served from Brooklyn, two hours behind us on Mountain time across the whole state. Monitoring runs 24/7 from Brooklyn, and so does emergency service. Our staffed help-desk hours are 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time (2 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mountain), seven days a week. The proposal states severe-incident escalation, authorized remediation and any other after-hours work. On-site commitments outside our on-site coverage (New York City, Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, North Jersey and Fairfield County, CT) are arranged in advance and sized to the engagement: a mostly remote engagement needs no dedicated on-site engineer, while an engagement that calls for regular presence, such as a standing on-site day or two each week, can include a dedicated engineer with a drive time generally under an hour once availability, location and the visit schedule are confirmed in the proposal. Hardware can ship pre-configured where the project permits remote setup. Confirm landlord access, circuit diversity, cabling and equipment space before approving a network change. Carrier options to check in Colorado include Comcast Business, Quantum Fiber, ALLO Fiber and Spectrum Business; availability, routing and installation dates must be verified at your address before a failover design is approved.
Who managed IT in Colorado is built for
Businesses we can support in and around Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Boulder and Fort Collins include aerospace and defense contractors on Deltek Costpoint, bioscience companies on Benchling, financial services firms on Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, infrastructure engineering firms on Deltek Vantagepoint, resorts and tourism businesses on Oracle Opera, and advanced manufacturers on Epicor. These are examples of business and application needs, not a list of local clients. We coordinate infrastructure, identity and integration with the application vendor, and identify any compliance requirements during discovery. Companies with an internal IT person can agree a split of responsibilities, systems and coverage hours before work begins.
Continuity planning for your Colorado business
Start with the systems your team cannot work without. Record the impact of a building power outage, a failed internet circuit, a compromised account and an unavailable application vendor. Then agree recovery priorities, an independent access path, protected backup copies and a test for each critical workflow. Controls reduce particular risks; they do not guarantee that an incident cannot happen.

A 60-person manufacturing business in Denver
This planning example shows how we could scope the work. It is not a claim about a customer in this market or a measured result. For published customer work, see our case studies.
A manufacturing business in Denver with 60 staff across the office and remote, Epicor as a core business application, a file server nobody wants to touch and laptops bought one at a time from a retailer. The office manager has become the IT department by default and wants out. The antivirus came bundled with the hardware, the Wi-Fi password is shared with visitors, and the monthly IT spend is spread across three vendors none of whom is accountable for the whole.
- Intune enrollment for every laptop and phone, with Windows Autopilot registration for new hardware and a compliance policy that gates access to email and files
- Cisco Meraki firewall and switches configured with segmentation for servers, staff, printers and guests, and a cellular failover circuit
- Cutover in stages over three to four weeks, with the old provider's access removed at the end, planned disruption agreed in advance and rollback checks documented
- NinjaOne RMM agents deployed to every workstation and server for 24/7 monitoring, patching and remote support
- Barracuda Email Protection placed in front of the mailboxes and SPF, DKIM and DMARC corrected to reduce unauthorized use of the company's domain, with alignment checks and a staged enforcement policy
- KnowBe4 onboarding for every user, with a baseline phishing test in week one and recurring training after that
The help desk answers, the monitoring is watched by a person, the backups restore on schedule and every new hire is set up the same way. The business gets one number to call and a written picture of what is covered. Month to month, like every NetSys agreement.
Complete managed IT, cybersecurity and help desk for a 20-seat organization
A 20-seat organization handed NetSys the whole of its IT. Devices, network, Microsoft 365 and vendors came under one agreement with 24/7 monitoring and a named account manager; endpoint protection, multifactor authentication, email protection and tested backups went onto all twenty seats; staff got a help desk with engineers on the other end; and every new hire now goes through a defined onboarding process with recurring phishing training. The write-up is limited to the scope delivered, with no outcome figures claimed.

Compliance in Colorado: Colorado’s data-protection statutes and what sits on top of it
Colorado’s data-protection statutes, including C.R.S. § 6-1-716 require covered entities to maintain reasonable security procedures and address qualifying breaches. Required notice includes the Attorney General when 500 or more Colorado residents are affected. The state’s guidance distinguishes security, disposal and notification duties. The service scope should identify the records, access controls, retention settings and incident evidence your business needs; your legal or compliance adviser determines which requirements apply. The managed agreement can include access reviews, patch reports, backup test results and a written incident response plan, with the evidence and responsibilities agreed in the scope. Discovery identifies missing records and assigns the documentation work. Applicable duties depend on the business, data, exemptions and contracts; your legal or compliance adviser determines which requirements apply.

What managed IT costs in Colorado
Managed IT is priced per user per month for a fully managed agreement, and the number moves with four things more than with headcount: how many servers you run, whether you need after-hours coverage beyond monitoring, how much compliance documentation you carry, and whether we are co-managing alongside an internal person or running everything. We quote from an assessment, not a phone call, and the agreement runs month to month. What belongs in the monthly fee versus what is billed separately is set out on our managed IT pricing page.
Who this fits, and who it does not
Best fit: 10 to 75 employees, one or two offices plus remote staff, already on Microsoft 365 or ready to move there, and either no internal IT or one person who is underwater.
Not a fit: businesses under five people, who are usually better served by the small-office baseline described in our five-person case study, or organizations over 250 seats, which need an internal team we can co-manage with rather than replace.

Managed IT Services in Colorado: FAQs
Is NetSys an IT company that supports businesses in Colorado?
Yes. NetSys is an IT services company that supports Colorado businesses remote-first from its only office, in Brooklyn. Managed IT support, an engineer-led help desk, cybersecurity and IT consulting come under one month-to-month agreement. We support Windows and Mac devices, Microsoft 365 and applications such as Deltek Costpoint and Benchling, and we work with the software vendor when a problem sits on their side. To start, we assess the environment and write the scope; the cutover then runs in stages, and three to four weeks is typical for a 20-seat office.
Is support in Colorado remote or on-site?
Remote-first. NetSys has one office, in Brooklyn, NY. Colorado is served from Brooklyn, two hours behind us on Mountain time across the whole state. The help desk, monitoring, security and Microsoft 365 work run remotely, with the help desk staffed seven days a week from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time (2 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mountain) and emergency service 24/7, and new hardware can ship pre-configured. Work that needs hands at an office in Colorado Springs or Boulder, such as hardware swaps, network closet work, new-hire setups and office moves, is a visit arranged in advance. How much on-site time an engagement includes is agreed before it starts: none for a mostly remote account, or a dedicated engineer where regular presence such as a standing on-site day or two each week is part of the scope. A drive time generally under an hour is an option subject to confirming engineer availability and your address. The proposal states the on-site arrangement and any travel in writing.
What does managed IT in Colorado include, and how is it priced?
The monthly fee covers the help desk, 24/7 monitoring, patching, ThreatDown MDR, Microsoft 365 and Intune administration, tested backups and vendor management. It is priced per user per month from an assessment, and server count, after-hours coverage beyond monitoring, compliance documentation and whether an internal IT person stays on move it more than headcount does. Vendor calls for applications such as Salesforce Financial Services Cloud and Deltek Vantagepoint are included. Planned visits to Colorado and any travel are quoted in the proposal. Projects, hardware and licensing are quoted separately, and our managed IT pricing page shows what sits inside the fee.
How quickly do you respond to a problem?
Severe problems get an immediate response from your dedicated engineer: ransomware, systems down, no internet, email that has stopped working. Everything else is worked by severity, so a request to add a printer is scheduled rather than treated as an outage. The help desk is staffed by engineers seven days a week from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time, and monitoring and emergency service run 24/7. The agreement states the severe-incident escalation path and any authorized after-hours work.
What happens to our current provider?
We run the transition. That means collecting credentials and documentation, auditing what is actually deployed against what you are paying for, and cutting over in stages. Three to four weeks is typical for a 20-seat office, with disruption and rollback plans agreed in advance; the old provider's access is removed at the end.
How can IT support help with Colorado data-security requirements?
Colorado’s data-protection statutes, including C.R.S. § 6-1-716 require covered entities to maintain reasonable security procedures and address qualifying breaches. Required notice includes the Attorney General when 500 or more Colorado residents are affected. The state’s guidance distinguishes security, disposal and notification duties. NetSys can help document the relevant systems, controls and incident evidence within an agreed scope; legal notification decisions remain with your authorized business and legal team.
