Every day of the week, the IT in a Box U.S.-based helpdesk team supports you in the office, working from home, or while you’re on the road. No entry-level or junior tech support. You speak to experienced engineers with years of municipal experience who help you address any IT issue ASAP—either remotely or onsite.
24/7 helpdesk is crucial for today’s cities, even smaller towns and cities. Maybe you think a 24/7 helpdesk—along with the rest of IT in a Box—is too cost-prohibitive? Reach out today. You may be surprised how IT in a Box may work for you.
Ask yourself some questions about your current IT helpdesk.
- When you call, are you hearing an awkward script or someone actually helping you diagnose your problem?
- How long does it take for your IT helpdesk to respond?
- How many people are a part of the IT helpdesk? One? Two?
- Is there continuity of service from your IT helpdesk? In other words, when a member of your IT helpdesk ends their shift or 5 p.m. hits, is there seamless continuity with a different person the minute you pick up the phone?
- If you call after hours, are you interrupting dinner or waking up your helpdesk?
If you don’t like the answers to those questions, then consider IT in a Box’s 24/7 Helpdesk feature. Cities love it.

24x7 Helpdesk Features
Best of both worlds—remote and onsite support
Our U.S. based helpdesk provides you with both remote and onsite support. Many problems can be fixed quickly over the phone using a remote session where an experienced IT engineer securely accesses your computer to fix the issue.
And if it’s one of those issues needing an onsite visit, we schedule that visit and get to your city to resolve it.
Municipal-experienced IT engineers
You will talk to experienced IT engineers with many years of experience supporting municipal staff, applications, audits, compliance, and yes, CJIS.

Data Backup and Disaster Recovery
Server failure? Flooding? A tornado? Ransomware? No problem—your data is safe. We provide onsite data backup for quick recovery, and unlimited offsite data backup for worst-case scenario recovery after a major incident like a natural disaster. You also ensure the success of your data backups with our real-time monitoring to quickly address data backup issues and quarterly testing to verify your disaster recovery.
Records / Document Management and Email
IT in a Box protects your records, documents, and email. We’ll apply your records retention schedules to your documents so that you can reliably archive, retain, access, and delete information—and we even help you process Open Records Requests. Plus, we provide you Microsoft Office 365 for your desktops.
Video Archiving
Does your police department rely heavily on squad car and body camera video recordings? With IT in a Box’s fixed monthly cost, towns and cities no longer need to buy additional expensive storage for video. That’s right! As your squad car and body camera video recordings continue to grow at a rapid pace, your storage costs do not change.
Policy and Compliance
To protect against cyberattacks and assist with audits, we help you adopt policies and best practices that educate your staff and make sure your technology helps you comply with state law. In addition to staff training, we shore up any compliance gaps by securing, documenting, regularly testing, and proactively managing all your technology. We will also help you create policies around software, application, vendor, network, wireless, physical, user, and remote access.
Website
We provide you a modern, custom-designed website that looks good and delivers the information your citizens need. Have as many website pages as you want including pages for town/city hall, public safety, parks and recreation, news, and events. Our website also features the ability to offer online payments and offers a user-friendly backend system so that you can add and update website information yourself. Or if you want, submit your website updates to us and we will post them for you.
Vendor Management and Procurement
Do you get frustrated wasting time on software support calls where you’re not sure if you’re resolving the problem? Our experienced staff steps in to take care of this dirty work. From resolving issues to even purchasing new computers for you, we will work with technology vendors directly so that you don’t lose hours and days on the phone.
