Professional & Managed Services

Need the work covered? We run it for you.

Some network and IT services need to be available around the clock, meet regulatory requirements, or directly affect your customers. Building the right internal team to deliver them consistently can be expensive, difficult to scale, and hard to manage.

SLA-backed responseFixed monthly retainerAssessment before pricing

Lumensoft provides Professional & Managed Services for the operational work you need covered — from managed NOC and helpdesk operations to E911, PBX support, and other network and infrastructure services.

Each engagement starts with an assessment by a practicing Solution Architect. We scope the service around your environment, requirements, and service expectations before pricing it. You receive a defined scope, SLA-backed response, and a fixed monthly retainer where the engagement is suited to managed delivery.

What that costs you

What half-resourcing actually buys.

  • Incidents at 2am are found at 8am, and the difference is the length of the outage.
  • Compliance status is discovered after an emergency call fails, when the liability is already real.
  • Senior engineers spend the week on password resets and connectivity triage.
  • On-call rotations burn out the people you least want to lose.

How we work

Assessed before it is priced.

A practicing Solution Architect assesses the environment before anything is priced, and the proposal follows within 24 hours. The questions that shape the scope are usually these:

  • What is currently monitored, and what is monitored in the sense that a tool is installed but nobody reads the alerts?
  • Who gets called at 2am today, and what is their actual authority to act?
  • Which of these functions are you trying to fix, and which are you trying to stop thinking about? They lead to different engagements.
  • What does your existing provider do well? We would rather own the gap than displace something that works.

The three services

Each owned properly, or not at all.

How it is bought

A fixed monthly retainer.

A fixed monthly retainer, with a one-time onboarding engagement where the service requires configuration. Retainers run on fixed monthly terms with a defined initial commitment. Each service runs independently or stacks with the others under a single agreement.

Who it's for

MSPs

White-label delivery you can offer under your own brand.

Hotels

Portfolio-wide compliance obligations under one contract.

Transit agencies

Mission-critical monitoring with public-sector reporting.

Healthcare

HIPAA-aware delivery across clinical environments.

Typical buyer situations

You are likely in scope if any of these is true:

  • A function is half-resourced because full internal staffing cannot be justified.
  • Incidents outside business hours are found the following morning.
  • Senior engineers are absorbing work that should never reach them.
  • You want one function owned properly rather than a bundle you partly use.

What happens next

  1. 1A 30-minute call establishes which function you want owned and where it sits today.
  2. 2A practicing Solution Architect scopes it before it is priced. The scope names what we own and what stays with you, in writing, before anything is signed.
  3. 3Onboarding produces the documented runbook. The retainer starts when coverage does.

Fixed monthly retainer, scoped before it is priced. Support runs to the First-Call Resolution® standard. We resell no platform, so the scope has no reason to grow after signature.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

How is this different from your recruitment line?

Recruitment places an engineer on your team under your direction. Here Lumensoft owns the outcome — we monitor, maintain or support the function on a retainer, under our own SLA and reporting.

Do you replace our existing IT team or MSP?

Almost never. We typically own one specific function while your team or incumbent keeps everything else.

What are the actual SLA response times?

P1 incidents are assigned within 15 minutes on Managed NOC. Exact SLAs per service are confirmed in the proposal and written into the contract.

Is this month-to-month or contracted?

Retainers run on fixed monthly terms with a defined initial commitment, walked through on the discovery call.

Can these services be white-labelled?

Yes. Managed NOC and Helpdesk are both routinely delivered under an MSP's brand, including client-facing reporting.

Do you carry HIPAA-aware delivery?

Yes, for healthcare environments, including Business Associate Agreement execution where required.

What is the difference between managed network services and an MSP?

Scope and incentive. A conventional MSP bundles tiers and is compensated for scope growth. Lumensoft owns one function properly — E911 compliance, network operations or Level 1 support — on a fixed retainer, scoped by a practicing Solution Architect before it is priced, and resells no platform.

Where this decision leads next.

These engagements assume the operating model is already the right one. Where that is the open question, start with a Consultancy assessment instead.

Insurance, screening and data-handling terms are set out on Assurance.
