IT Service Management
Improve Productivity, Reduce Costs and Mitigate Risk.
Since 1996, Lexcom has always been a leading Managed IT Services Provider. While at the top of our growth (over 10 years ago) we suffered a major security breach that cost us over 2.5 million in revenue and nearly put us out of business. That made us realize two major things. As business owners we place lot of trust in our IT department and the people we hire. Secondly, when bad things happen, employees can find new jobs, us owners are accountable for the what is left of their business. (and all of the associated debts)
We took our experience as a major lesson learnt and rebuilt our business from the ground up. Using our experience to develop the Best Managed Technology Systems approach to IT. We have incorporated a number of controls to protect our clients from the impact that IT related risks can have on their business, family and lifestyle.
We do things unlike anybody else. Our unique approach enables us to build a comprehensive IT support strategy tailored to focus in key areas of concern including: asset management, information security & addressing cyber security threats, business continuity and data protection strategies, service design, network connectivity, performance and capacity management and building a responsive support system behind it. Everything we do is a balance between the cost of the service and amount of risk you are willing to accept with the goal of deploying capital as effectively as possible.
