SteroGroup is the remote IT department for professional service offices, family businesses and independent practices that run on a handful of computers in Ankeny, IA. We manage computers, email, accounts and security entirely remotely, ship machines configured and ready, and onboard you for free.
Nearly every issue a Ankeny office runs into today is fixed remotely: accounts, email, software, performance, printing and security. That is why professional service offices, family businesses and independent practices that run on a handful of computers get the same service level our New Jersey clients get.
The Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act sets safeguarding duties for businesses handling residents' personal data. We keep the controls behind that in place while you work, and we work Eastern Time hours and cover Central Time businesses remotely, with tickets picked up early in your day.
Support requests from Ankeny come straight to a technician rather than a queue that forgets about you. Logins, mailboxes, applications, printers and performance issues are all covered, with no per-ticket charges.
Ankeny clients are supported remotely end to end. Hardware is pre-imaged and shipped, warranty work is coordinated with the manufacturer, and local cabling or network installs are arranged through a vendor we brief directly.
Managed IT for Ankeny covers 24/7 monitoring, automatic patching, endpoint protection, backup oversight, vendor coordination and unlimited help desk support for one flat monthly price.
Small offices are targeted precisely because attackers assume nobody is watching. Endpoint protection, email filtering and multi-factor authentication close the gaps that matter most. Essential cybersecurity is included with every Managed IT plan, and Ankeny businesses handling sensitive or regulated data can add SteroShield for advanced 24/7 threat detection and response.
Email and cloud files are where most work happens, so we manage them closely for Ankeny clients: accounts, licences, MFA, sharing permissions, mail filtering and clean migrations when you move providers.
Device management covers purchase guidance, pre-configuration, encryption, monitoring enrolment and replacement planning, so professional offices are not guessing when a machine is due for renewal.
Email migrations, Microsoft 365 rollouts, security deployments and cloud moves for Ankeny businesses are scoped and quoted as fixed-price projects, separate from your monthly plan.
Requests reach a technician directly rather than an anonymous queue, and the majority of day-to-day issues are resolved the same business day.
Yes. Mailboxes, licensing, multi-factor authentication, spam filtering, shared drives, retention and migrations from older email systems are all covered.
No. Onsite visits are limited to New Jersey. Ankeny clients are supported remotely, and we ship pre-configured computers and coordinate local vendors when hands-on work is needed.
The Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act sets safeguarding duties for businesses handling residents' personal data. Managed IT keeps endpoint protection, email security, patching and multi-factor authentication in place, and SteroShield adds monitored threat detection for businesses that need more.
No. Managed IT is billed monthly with no long-term commitment and no onboarding fee.
