Fort Lauderdale, FL

Managed IT services in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is our home base. Retrisa runs the accounts, devices, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, backups and office networks behind growing Broward businesses, and reports on all of it every month.

Managed IT in Fort Lauderdale

Plenty of Fort Lauderdale companies reach the same point. The team has grown, the office has a server closet nobody wants to open, Microsoft 365 was set up years ago by whoever was available, and IT is split between a part-time helper and a few vendors who each look after one piece. It mostly works, but nobody owns it.

Retrisa takes that ownership. For the systems we agree to manage, we are the team responsible, and the scope is written down so everyone knows what is covered and what is not. Because we are based here, the office itself is part of the picture: the firewall, the Wi-Fi, the printers that everyone depends on and the cabling behind the reception desk.

What we manage

What we manage for Fort Lauderdale offices

Four areas, looked after as one environment rather than as separate vendor contracts.

  • People and access

    Employee accounts, MFA and permissions, set up on the first day and closed on the last, as part of managed IT.

  • Laptops and phones

    Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android devices enrolled, patched and encrypted through endpoint management, with an inventory that stays accurate.

  • The office network

    Firewalls, switches and Wi-Fi configured, updated and documented with network management, with guest Wi-Fi kept apart from business systems.

  • Microsoft 365, files and security

    Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace run to a secure baseline, and cybersecurity maintained every month instead of assumed.

How we work

How we work with Broward businesses

It starts with a short introductory call about your team, your systems and what is getting in the way. From there you receive a written scope and a quote per user, per month; onboarding and any projects are quoted separately, so you can see what each part costs.

Onboarding brings the systems we manage up to a documented standard. After that, the work is steady and mostly invisible: updates, access changes and security settings handled as part of looking after your systems. Each month the Retrisa Portal shows a plain-language report of what was done, what needs a decision and what we recommend next.

Local context

Hurricane season, planned for in advance

Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. For a Fort Lauderdale office the IT problem is rarely the storm itself; it is the days around it, when power or internet is out, the building is closed, and a server on the ground floor sits in an area that can flood.

Ahead of the season we can confirm that backups of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and of any agreed servers are running, and that a restore actually works. Laptops are managed and encrypted so people can work from home, and the firewall and network configuration is documented so the office can be brought back the way it was.

If one server in a closet is still holding the business together, a server to cloud migration or a move from the file server to SharePoint and OneDrive takes that risk out of the building.
