Managed IT & MSP proposal

Reliable technology.
Protected operations.

A recurring managed-service proposal for Contour’s people and workstations, coordinated with a separate proposal for systems, workflow and AI modernization.

Explore this proposal

Two coordinated proposals
Designed to be approved and advanced together.

01

Managed IT + security

A clear support model for Contour's people and technology.

The recurring endpoint service combines responsive user support, proactive workstation management, security and documentation. Server management and Datto SIRIS business continuity and disaster recovery are designed and quoted separately.

01

Service desk and user support

Remote help desk, incident triage and troubleshooting for supported Windows and Mac workstations, Microsoft 365, Duo, VPN access, printers, connectivity and approved mobile email or MFA access. Centervert coordinates and tracks the ticket through resolution or a documented vendor handoff.

02

Monitoring, patching and security

Centervert's remote management stack, workstation monitoring and alerting, operating-system and supported application patching, managed endpoint security, email and phishing protection, and covered security-event triage and escalation.

03

Identity and vendor administration

Microsoft 365 and Duo administration, approved account and access changes, shared-mailbox and group support, and coordination with ASI, internet, phone, hardware and other covered technology vendors.

04

Environment documentation and lifecycle

A maintained record of workstations, servers, assigned users, locations, operating systems, warranties, replacement dates, vendors and support ownership, with discrepancies and lifecycle risks identified.

05

Employee lifecycle and equipment

Role-based onboarding, role-change and offboarding checklists. After purchase approval, Centervert can procure, stage, secure, configure and ship approved equipment ready for first sign-in. Hardware, warranties, taxes and shipping remain additional.

06

Network and Charlotte onsite support

Administration of covered firewall, switching, Wi-Fi and VPN services where valid access and vendor support are available. Service is remote-first, with a Greenville representative available when onsite work is appropriate; travel is approved and quoted before dispatch.

02

Recommended server continuity

Local recovery plus protected off-site continuity.

Based on the preliminary five-server environment reported during discovery, Centervert strongly recommends a managed Datto SIRIS business continuity and disaster recovery solution. This is proposed scope; final design and pricing remain pending.

Datto SIRISQuote in progress

Onsite appliance + secure Datto Cloud

SIRIS combines local backup and recovery with off-site snapshot replication and cloud disaster recovery. The onsite component supports local restoration when the Charlotte environment remains available; the off-site component provides geographic separation when an event affects the office or local appliance.

01

Users and workstations

User, role, location, remote status, device model, operating system, age, warranty, shared devices and additional company workstations.

02

Servers and workloads

Hostname, role, business owner, physical or virtual status, operating system, hardware, storage used, applications, databases, file shares and dependencies.

03

Current backups

Provider and product, protected systems, schedule, local and off-site destinations, retention, latest successful job, known failures, last restore test and daily change rate.

04

Recovery priorities

Critical systems in recovery order, maximum acceptable downtime, maximum acceptable data loss, operating hours and named recovery contacts.

05

Network and security

Internet circuits, firewall, VPN, switches, wireless, controller, network diagram, Microsoft 365 and Duo, security tools, insurance requirements and known issues.

06

Vendors and transition

Current MSP terms and contacts, Sage reseller, ISP, backup and network vendors, renewal dates, administrative owners, unresolved tickets and handoff requirements.

Do not send secrets in the assessment.Leave out passwords, recovery keys, MFA seeds and private credentials. Centervert will arrange a secure transfer method after authorization.

Optional one-time project

One network.
One pane of glass.

Replace the mixed-vendor environment with a centrally managed UniFi foundation—without making network acceptance a condition of the MSP service.

Final models, quantity and placement follow onsite RF validation.

DeliveryHardware allowance + coordinated cutover

Design, procurement, staging, migration, testing, documentation, accessories and Greenville–Charlotte project travel included.

03

Managed-service investment

One recurring support decision.

This authorization covers managed IT for the verified workstation count. Server continuity and the optional network enhancement remain separate decisions.

Coordinated proposals

This proposal operates alongside Systems, Workflow & AI Modernization: MSP keeps Contour’s people and technology supported while modernization improves how work moves across the business.

Proposal valid through 09.30.26

Recommended next step

Confirm the managed-service starting point.

Contour can authorize the workstation MSP while Centervert completes the separate five-server and Datto SIRIS scope. The readiness assessment provides the information needed to reconcile the endpoint count and size the continuity design.

  1. 01

    Confirm the preliminary count of 14 managed user workstations.

  2. 02

    Complete the IT and recovery readiness assessment and attach the current inventory spreadsheet.

  3. 03

    Review the separate five-server and Datto SIRIS BCDR quote when issued.

  4. 04

    Approve the optional UniFi enhancement independently if desired.
