Delivered by NHM Ohio from East Canton, Ohio. Remote-first support, with onsite work in Canton scheduled by scope.
When the fix needs hands, not a screen share
Most IT work today is remote, and ours is too. But some problems only get solved by someone standing in the room: a network closet in an older downtown building that nobody has labeled in fifteen years, a server that will not boot, a switch that needs replacing before Monday, a move from one suite to another.
Canton has a lot of that kind of building. The downtown core and the blocks around Market Avenue are full of offices that were wired a long time ago and rewired a piece at a time since. The equipment is often fine. The documentation usually is not.
Being five miles away changes what is practical. We can do the first assessment in person, trace and label what is actually there, and come back for planned work without it turning into a travel line on your invoice. Inside Stark County there is no travel surcharge at all.
- A network closet nobody can explain, with cables to nowhere
- A server or NAS in a back room with no current warranty
- Internet, phones, and the copier each managed by a different vendor
- An office move or expansion coming up with no IT plan behind it
- A previous IT person who left and took the passwords with them
Canton, and how close it is
Canton is the Stark County seat, where US-30, US-62, and I-77 meet. The city's business runs from the downtown Arts District and the Market Avenue corridor out to Belden Village in Jackson Township, with the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the north side of downtown.
Our base in East Canton is about five miles east of downtown, roughly a ten-minute drive. Canton is the closest city we serve, and it is where onsite work is most practical.

The work Canton runs on
IT that fits a fabrication shop does not fit a five-attorney office. These are three of the sectors that employ people around Canton, and what each one actually needs from IT.
Manufacturing
Stark County still makes things, from metal fabrication to food processing. Plants need the production side kept apart from the office network, the ERP or job-costing system backed up and restorable, and someone who can be on the floor when a switch fails.
Healthcare and dental practices
Canton has two hospital systems and the independent practices, labs, and therapy offices that grow up around them. Those practices carry HIPAA obligations on their own. We put the technical safeguards in place, control who can reach patient data, and keep the documentation a cyber-insurance renewal asks for.
Professional offices
Law, accounting, insurance, and real estate offices downtown and around Belden Village run on email, Microsoft 365, and a few line-of-business systems. What they need is MFA everywhere, email that cannot be spoofed, tested backups, and a person who picks up the phone.
What onsite means in Canton
Most of the work is remote: patching, monitoring, Microsoft 365 changes, mailbox recovery, onboarding and offboarding, and the everyday problems, usually handled before anyone files a ticket.
Onsite is for the jobs that need hands: network and firewall work, cabling, server and NAS replacement, office moves, and the first assessment visit we do before quoting. Scheduled onsite visits are part of our Complete and Advanced plans; on Essentials, onsite work is billed hourly and we tell you before we drive.
Canton is about five miles from us, and there is no travel surcharge for onsite work inside Stark County.
Onsite visits are scheduled by SLA. The exact response time depends on your contract tier and the urgency of the issue, and critical incidents route to an on-call engineer immediately rather than waiting for business hours. Business hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM-5:00 PM Eastern; monitoring and alerting run around the clock.

Pricing and contract
Plans run $50-$100 per user per month across three tiers. Every tier includes the security baseline: endpoint protection, email security, MFA, patching, and backups. What changes between tiers is support depth, onsite visits, and how much compliance documentation you need.
Contracts are month-to-month. There is no lock-in discount and no exit penalty. Tier detail is on the pricing page, and a written quote follows a discovery call. Where you land inside a tier's range depends on what your environment looks like. For a quick estimate first, try the plan finder.
