What's Included in Our Missoula Managed IT Services Program
24/7 Monitoring & Alerting, Proactive Issue Detection for Missoula Businesses
Downtime is expensive — and in Missoula, it doesn’t wait for business hours. Wildfire smoke season, winter storms rolling through the valley, and power events along the Clark Fork corridor all create risk. Our 24/7 monitoring detects early warning signs across servers, endpoints, and critical systems so issues are addressed before they escalate.
Monitoring helps Missoula organizations:
- Reduce unplanned outages and recurring disruptions
- Catch failing services, resource constraints, and endpoint health issues early
- Improve stability for remote/hybrid users from the University District to Reserve Street

Patch Management & Updates
(Reduce Vulnerability & Downtime)
Unpatched systems are a leading contributor to ransomware and preventable instability — a real risk for Missoula’s healthcare providers, law firms, and research-connected organizations. Our patch management keeps operating systems and key applications current, without the chaos.
Patch management improves:
- Security posture and cyber insurance readiness
- System stability and performance consistency
- Visibility into update status, exceptions, and remediation needs

Device & Asset Management
(Know What You Own, And Protect It)
Spreadsheets and “mystery devices” create security gaps, support delays, and surprise renewals — problems that compound fast in growing Missoula tech firms, multi-clinic healthcare groups, and distributed nonprofits. Our asset management gives you visibility and lifecycle control.
You gain:
- Cleaner onboarding/offboarding for new staff
- Better endpoint standardization (fewer one-off issues)
- Lifecycle planning tied to warranties, refresh cycles, and replacements
Remote IT Help Desk Services, Fast Support for Your Missoula Team
When your team has an issue, they need a reliable place to go — not a ticket black hole. Our Missoula-aware help desk provides structured support for day-to-day issues with clear triage and escalation.
Common help desk support areas:
- Email and account issues
- Device performance and application errors
- Connectivity and VPN access problems (critical during smoke season and winter storms)
- “How do I…?” user support for Microsoft 365, Teams, and line-of-business apps

Missoula Managed IT Services vs. Break/Fix vs. Co-Managed IT
Choosing the right IT support model affects your security, uptime, and monthly costs. Here’s a clear breakdown of the three most common options — and when each one makes sense for a Missoula business.
Managed IT Services (Fully Outsourced)
- Help desk support for users (remote + on-site across Missoula)
- 24/7 monitoring and alerting for devices, servers, and critical systems
- Patch management and routine maintenance
- Managed security tools (endpoint protection/EDR, MFA, email security)
- Backup management and recovery testing
- Vendor coordination (Spectrum, Blackfoot, CenturyLink, Microsoft 365, hardware, software)
- IT planning and budgeting support (roadmaps, lifecycle planning)
- Predictable monthly cost
- Fewer outages through proactive maintenance
- Clear accountability with one primary IT partner
- Access to a broader team of Montana-based specialists than a single hire
Break/Fix IT
Best only for very small environments with low reliance on technology (rare today).
Break/Fix is reactive IT: you call when something breaks, and you pay for time and materials to get it working again.
What to expect
- On-demand troubleshooting
- Hourly billing and variable response times
- Limited (or no) proactive monitoring or maintenance
Tradeoffs to consider
- Unpredictable costs—especially during outages or emergencies
- More downtime because issues are addressed after they become critical
- Security and system updates can fall behind without ongoing management
Ideal for
Very small, low-risk setups or short-term coverage while transitioning to a managed model.
Co‑Managed IT
Best if your Missoula business already has internal IT but needs coverage, specialized skills, tooling, or after-hours monitoring.
Co-Managed IT is a partnership: your internal IT staff retains control, and Univision fills the gaps with additional expertise, enterprise-grade tools, and broader coverage across Missoula and Montana.
Common co-managed support options:
- After-hours, weekend, and holiday monitoring and response
- Overflow help desk support during busy periods or staff PTO
- Specialized expertise (security, networking, cloud migrations, HIPAA / NIST / CMMC compliance)
- Managed tooling (RMM monitoring, patching, backup, endpoint security / EDR)
- Project support (server refreshes, M365 migrations, new office buildouts, acquisitions)
Why Missoula businesses choose it:
- Extends your IT team without hiring multiple roles in a tight Missoula labor market
- Improves coverage and reduces internal burnout
- Adds enterprise-grade security practices and tools
- Flexible support that scales with your growth
Ideal for: Missoula organizations with a one- or two-person internal IT team that want better coverage, stronger security, or help executing projects.
