SteroGroup is the remote IT department for manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers and engineering offices running both front-office and production systems in Racine, WI. We manage computers, email, accounts and security entirely remotely, ship machines configured and ready, and onboard you for free.
Nearly every issue a Racine office runs into today is fixed remotely: accounts, email, software, performance, printing and security. That is why manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers and engineering offices running both front-office and production systems get the same service level our New Jersey clients get.
Wisconsin breach-notification law requires businesses to protect personal information and notify affected people when it is exposed. 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 Racine 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.
We do not send technicians to Racine; onsite visits are New Jersey only. Instead, new machines arrive ready to use, replacements are handled by courier, and we manage any local vendor work on your behalf.
You get a managed environment rather than a repair service: monitoring, patch management, endpoint security, backup checks, licence tracking and unlimited support, billed at a flat rate per computer.
Design files, quotes and supplier records are the crown jewels here. We protect them with endpoint detection, controlled sharing and backups that are verified rather than assumed. Essential cybersecurity is included with every Managed IT plan, and Racine businesses handling sensitive or regulated data can add SteroShield for advanced 24/7 threat detection and response.
We run Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for Racine teams: mailboxes, licensing, multi-factor authentication, spam filtering, shared drives, retention and migrations from older email systems.
We standardise what your Racine team buys, set up each machine before it ships, and keep a record of who has what. Leavers lose access the same day they leave.
Projects are priced separately from managed support: migrations, new office setups, security rollouts and cloud moves each get their own scope and fixed quote.

Yes. Remote help desk support is unlimited on every Managed IT plan and most issues are resolved the same day. We work Eastern Time hours and cover Central Time businesses remotely, with tickets picked up early in your day.
Yes. Manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers and engineering offices running both front-office and production systems are a common fit for our plans, and we focus on stable line-of-business software, protected design files and hardware that survives a plant floor.
We advise on the right machine, configure and secure it before it ships, enrol it in monitoring and set up the user, so it works from the moment it is unboxed.
Managed IT is $249 per month for the first two computers and $89 per month for each additional computer. Servers are $129 per month. Onboarding is free and SteroShield advanced cybersecurity is an optional add-on at $50 per computer per month.
