Alone: one person
A backup outside your laptop, multi-factor sign-in on mail and files, an encrypted laptop and one number to call if something goes wrong. That is enough to cover the biggest risks.
IT management in Leusden that grows with your business
A freelancer needs different IT than a team of twenty. Good management starts small and grows with you, without having to start over.
Growth path
What you need depends on where your business stands
IT management is not a fixed package. What is useful for a one-person business is superfluous for an office of twenty, and the other way round. That is why we divide it into three stages, which you can follow as you grow.
Three stages
From a freelancer to a team
Together: two to five people
A shared environment for mail and files, users with their own permissions, an arrangement for new colleagues and one place where all licences and passwords are managed.
A team: six to twenty people
Management of all devices, scheduled updates, a network that grows along, monitoring and a quarterly conversation about what is going on and what is coming.
An example
What happens when a laptop gets lost
An example shows why the small stage already counts. Suppose a freelancer in Leusden leaves his laptop on the train. Without preparation the files are gone, someone can reach his mail and nobody knows which accounts were signed in on that laptop.
With a little preparation this happens: the disk is encrypted, so the files cannot be read. We close the sessions of that laptop, wipe it remotely and restore the files from the backup onto a new laptop. The next morning you are working again.
First month
What we do in the first weeks
When we start managing for you, we begin with the same series, however large your business is.
- put all devices, accounts and subscriptions in a row, so you know what you have
- check whether the backup exists, what is in it and whether it can be restored
- turn on multi-factor sign-in for mail and files
- agree how you reach us and what we pass on to you

Frequently asked questions about IT management in Leusden
Do I need IT management as a freelancer?
You do need a backup, security and a point of contact. Whether you call that IT management makes no difference. Many freelancers choose a small package with just this foundation, and expand as the need grows.
What if my business grows from two to ten people?
Then we extend the agreements and adjust the environment: more accounts, a shared environment, a network that can handle it. What you have stays usable, so you do not have to start over.
Will you come by in Leusden?
Yes, at your home or business location, for example for an introduction or setting up new devices. Most things we arrange remotely.
What happens to my data when Assist2go manages my IT?
Your data remains yours. For management we need access to accounts and systems; what we receive and use for that, we put in writing. You decide who has access and you can always withdraw that access.
