Experts to Handle Everything IT
From 24/7 monitoring to strategic planning, McNallan Technology Solutions provides everything Minnesota businesses need to thrive.
24/7 monitoring, unlimited helpdesk support, and complete IT management for one predictable monthly fee. Senior technicians answer in under 3 minutes — no tier 1 runaround, no surprise invoices, no offshore call centers. Sub-30-minute response times and 86% same-day resolution for Minneapolis businesses with 25–300 employees.
24/7 SOC monitoring with real human analysts who respond to threats — not just send alerts. CMMC and ISO 27001 compliance roadmaps, cybersecurity assessments, and active threat response. When the SonicWall breach hit, our clients were protected before business hours the next morning.
Lifecycle-managed Dell and HP equipment on 3-year replacement cycles — so you never face a surprise $50K capital expense. We track every device, replace hardware before it fails, and maintain on-site stock for emergency deployments. Predictable hardware costs are part of predictable IT costs.
Multi-layer, air-gapped backups that ransomware cannot encrypt or delete — with 4-6 hour recovery capability proven in real disasters. When a client’s building caught fire on a Friday night, they were operational Monday morning. The other businesses in that building were offline for weeks.
Strategic technology planning, M&A due diligence, compliance roadmaps, and quarterly business reviews — CIO-level expertise at a fraction of full-time executive cost. We align your technology investments with your business goals so IT enables growth instead of constraining it.
Weekend M&A integrations, office relocations, infrastructure overhauls, and cloud migrations — executed with zero business disruption. Your team arrives Monday morning to a fully functioning environment. We’ve migrated 150+ endpoints over a single weekend without a single Monday morning outage.
Full Microsoft 365 administration, cloud migrations, and license optimization — we’ve saved clients $40K+ annually just from right-sizing licenses. Secure migrations from on-premise Exchange to cloud with zero downtime, and security configuration that satisfies cyber insurance requirements.
Secure Microsoft Copilot deployment, custom workflow automation, and AI security policies that protect confidential data while enabling productivity. We identify your highest-ROI use cases first, implement with proper security guardrails, and measure the actual time savings — no AI for AI’s sake.
Printer fleet management included in managed services — Kyocera equipment sourcing, proactive toner ordering, vendor coordination, and troubleshooting. Toner arrives before you run out. Problems get fixed through the same help desk as every other IT issue. Printing just works.
