Running a business is hard enough without technology slowing you down

Most small businesses in Dallas aren't struggling because of bad strategy — they're struggling because their technology can't keep up.

No dedicated IT staff

Tech problems fall on whoever is least busy. Nobody owns your technology, so nothing gets managed proactively — only fixed after things break.

Cybersecurity threats are real

40% of cyberattacks target small businesses — and most have no protection plan. A single breach can cost tens of thousands of dollars and weeks of downtime.

In-house IT is expensive

A fully-loaded IT employee costs $80,000+ per year before benefits, vacation, and training. And one person can't cover everything — or be on call 24/7.

What is managed IT support?

Managed IT support is an outsourced IT department for your business. Instead of hiring a full-time IT employee — or waiting until something breaks to call a technician — you partner with an IT company that takes ongoing responsibility for your technology.

You pay a flat monthly fee, and your managed IT provider handles everything: monitoring your servers and devices 24/7, running a help desk your employees can call when they need help, managing your cybersecurity, keeping software patched and up to date, backing up your data, and planning your technology roadmap.

The key difference from traditional break-fix IT support is that managed IT is proactive, not reactive. Problems are caught before they cause downtime. Your systems are maintained on a schedule, not neglected until something fails. And because your IT provider knows your environment inside and out, issues get resolved faster when they do arise.

For most Dallas businesses with 5–100 employees, managed IT services cost a fraction of what an in-house IT hire would, while providing more coverage, more expertise, and a team — not just one person.

What's included in our IT support services

One flat monthly rate covers everything your business needs to run reliably and securely.

24/7 Monitoring & Alerts

Your systems are watched around the clock. Problems are caught and addressed before they become outages.

Help Desk Support

Remote and onsite support for your employees. Fast answers, real people — not a ticket queue that goes nowhere.

Cybersecurity

Endpoint protection, threat monitoring, and phishing defense — built in, not bolted on.

Data Backup & Recovery

Automated backups with tested recovery plans. If the worst happens, you're back up fast.

Microsoft 365 Management

Email, Teams, SharePoint, and Entra ID — administered and secured. Learn more about our M365 services.

Patch Management

Operating systems and software kept up to date — automatically and on a schedule that doesn't disrupt your team.

Employee Onboarding & Offboarding

New hire gets everything set up on day one. Departing employee's access is locked down immediately.

Vendor Coordination

We deal with your internet provider, phone system, copier company, and software vendors so you don't have to.

Strategic IT Planning

Quarterly reviews, technology roadmaps, and budget forecasting — so your IT investments make sense for the business.

Built for Dallas businesses that don't have an IT department

We work with small and mid-size businesses across the Dallas-Fort Worth area — typically 5 to 100 employees — that rely on technology to run their business but don't have dedicated IT staff. If any of these sound familiar, we're a good fit:

  • Professional services firms — law offices, accounting firms, healthcare practices — that need technology to be reliable and secure without managing it themselves
  • Companies that have been on break-fix IT and are tired of unpredictable bills and slow response times
  • Businesses that recently experienced a security incident, data loss, or email compromise and need a real plan going forward
  • Growing companies that are adding employees and need IT to scale with them — onboarding, devices, accounts, access
  • Organizations with one internal IT person who needs a partner for after-hours coverage, specialized expertise, or backup support

We serve businesses throughout Dallas and the DFW metroplex: Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Richardson, Fort Worth, Irving, and McKinney, with both remote support and onsite visits.

Why Dallas businesses choose Type 5 Technology

There are a lot of IT support companies in Dallas. Here's what's different about us.

Local Dallas Team

We're based in Dallas — not a national call center. Your account manager knows your business, your team, and your environment.

No Jargon, No Runaround

We explain things in plain English. When you call, a human answers. When something breaks, we're already working on it.

Honest Assessments

We tell you what you actually need — not what sells the biggest contract. If something isn't broken, we won't sell you a fix.

How much does IT support cost in Dallas?

Managed IT support in Dallas is typically priced on a per-user, per-month basis — ranging from $75 to $150 per user per month depending on the services included. A 10-person company might pay $750–$1,500/month for full-coverage IT support.

Compare that to the fully-loaded cost of a single IT employee: $80,000+ in salary, plus benefits, PTO, training, and the risk that one person can't cover everything. Most businesses find managed IT services cost significantly less while providing more coverage, more expertise, and 24/7 availability.

Our pricing is flat-rate — no surprise bills, no per-ticket charges, no "that's not covered" surprises. You know exactly what you're paying each month, and it scales as your team grows.

Frequently asked questions about IT support in Dallas

What is managed IT support?
Managed IT support is an outsourced IT department for your business. Instead of hiring a full-time IT employee, you pay a flat monthly fee and a team of IT professionals handles everything — monitoring your systems 24/7, providing a help desk for your employees, managing cybersecurity, keeping software up to date, and planning for future technology needs. It's proactive, not reactive: problems are often caught and fixed before you even notice them.
How much does IT support cost in Dallas?
Most managed IT support in Dallas is priced on a per-user, per-month basis — typically ranging from $75 to $150 per user per month depending on the level of service. A 10-person business might expect to pay $750–$1,500/month for comprehensive IT support, which is far less than the cost of a single full-time IT employee. Pricing scales with your team size and the services included.
What's the difference between managed IT and break-fix IT?
Break-fix IT means you call someone only when something breaks — you pay per incident, and the technician has no ongoing relationship with your systems. Managed IT support is proactive: your provider monitors your systems continuously, catches problems early, and is responsible for keeping everything running. Managed IT is typically more cost-effective and results in far less downtime than break-fix.
Do I need managed IT if I already have one IT person?
Yes — this is called co-managed IT. If you have an internal IT person, a managed IT partner can fill the gaps: after-hours coverage, specialized skills (cybersecurity, Microsoft 365 administration, networking), and extra hands during busy periods or vacations. Your internal person focuses on high-level strategy and day-to-day user relationships while the managed IT team handles the technical heavy lifting.
What areas of Dallas-Fort Worth do you serve?
We provide IT support throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. In addition to Dallas, we have dedicated IT support for Plano, Frisco, Richardson, Arlington, Irving, and McKinney. We offer both remote support and onsite visits across the DFW area. See all our service areas.
Is cybersecurity included in your IT support services?
Yes. Cybersecurity is built into our managed IT support — not sold as an expensive add-on. This includes endpoint protection on all devices, threat monitoring, email security (anti-phishing, Safe Links, Safe Attachments), security patching, and employee phishing awareness. We treat security as a baseline, not an optional extra.
How do I get started with IT support for my business?
