System Monitoring & Alerting

We watch your computers, servers, and network around the clock — so problems are caught before they slow you down. If something goes wrong at 2 AM, we know about it before you do.

Automated Patch Management

We keep your operating systems, applications, and security software up to date — automatically. No more annoying update prompts or unpatched vulnerabilities leaving you exposed.

We set up and monitor backups for all your critical business data — locally and in the cloud. If something gets deleted, corrupted, or encrypted by ransomware, we have you covered.

Your employees can call, email, or message us anytime they need IT help — login problems, printer issues, software questions. We solve it fast, usually remotely.

Cybersecurity Management

We manage your antivirus, firewalls, spam filtering, email security, and endpoint protection. You get enterprise-grade security without needing to understand how any of it works.

Quarterly IT Strategy Reviews

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our managed IT services in the Gresham area.

Is MinuteMan IT a local IT company in Gresham?

Yes — MinuteMan IT LLC is a Gresham, Oregon IT company founded in 2005. Our service base is Gresham, with regular on-site coverage of Sandy, Troutdale, Canby, Estacada, Clackamas, Oregon City & SE Portland, plus full remote managed IT for the rest of Oregon. When you compare IT companies in Gresham, the differentiator is that we're the named local team doing the work — not a call center passing your ticket to whoever is free.

How do you price managed IT for small businesses?

Every business has a different setup, so we don't offer flat-rate plans — and honestly, anyone who does before seeing your environment is just guessing. During the free consultation, we audit your current infrastructure and build a scope that covers exactly what you need. Most of our Gresham-area clients find their monthly rate pays for itself within months by preventing just one major incident. Give us 30 minutes — it'll be clear by the end whether managed services make sense for your business.

What happens if our server crashes at 11 PM?

Our 24/7 monitoring catches most issues before they become emergencies. If something does go down after hours, your helpdesk team responds immediately — usually with a fix within the hour.

What's included in your cybersecurity management?

Endpoint protection, email filtering/security, firewall management, ransomware prevention layers, and quarterly security reviews — all proactive, not reactive.

Why is managed IT better than traditional break/fix?

Break/fix means you pay every time something goes wrong (often $175+/hour per incident). Managed IT provides comprehensive coverage for a flat monthly rate and prevents issues before they happen. The math almost always favors management.

Do you help with cloud infrastructure too?

Yes — Microsoft 365, Azure, Google Workspace, AWS. We manage both on-prem hardware and cloud environments so everything integrates smoothly.

How do I know what hardware we'll need for your service?

During the free consultation, we audit your current setup and recommend only what's actually needed — no oversold packages or unnecessary gear.

Do I have to be local to Gresham to work with you?

Our core service area is Gresham, Sandy, Troutdale, Canby, Estacada, Clackamas, Oregon City & SE Portland because having an in-person technician matters when your infrastructure needs replacing. For clients elsewhere in Oregon, we still provide full remote managed IT.

What happens if we need emergency on-site help outside our service area?

For emergencies within our primary coverage area, we typically dispatch the same day. Outside that zone, we can often resolve issues remotely or schedule a dedicated visit — just call (971) 277-3503.

We have too many IT issues and it's driving us crazy

Here is the honest truth: when you are calling for the same kind of problems every week — different symptoms each time, but all pointing to the same underlying issue — what you need is not another break/fix call. You need managed services that prevent those problems from happening in the first place. Our 24/7 monitoring catches things before they impact your team, patching stops vulnerabilities from being exploited, and unlimited helpdesk support means your people get fixed fast instead of losing hours waiting on hold.

What if a network issue happens after hours or on the weekend?

Managed clients get priority dispatch with no surprise fees. Our remote monitoring tools catch outages immediately and our technicians are already connected to your systems before you even realize something is wrong. For non-managed businesses, emergency support is available at a flat-rate after-hours fee. We'll always give you the cost upfront.
