Flat-rate managed IT for growing businesses — help desk, network and server management, cybersecurity, and cloud. We also build what we manage: structured cabling, WiFi, phones, and CCTV. One accountable partner instead of six vendors. Serving Columbus and the surrounding OH area.
Generic “IT support” doesn’t help when your team is locked out at 8am and nobody answers the phone. Here’s what businesses actually call us about.
Your “IT guy” is a part-timer who doesn’t pick up, or a break-fix shop that bills every hour. ClearMax is your full help desk — monitored 24/7, flat monthly rate, real humans who answer.
Avg. response under 15 min
MFA, EDR, backups, written policies — renewals now require them and most SMBs can’t check the boxes. We deploy the exact stack your policy demands and document it for the underwriter.
Insurance-ready in 30 days
When the network goes down, your staff shouldn’t be the IT detective. We become your single point of contact for ISP, hardware, software, and phone vendors — we diagnose, route, and resolve.
One call replaces a dozen
Most small businesses have no tested backup and no way back if files get encrypted. We deploy immutable, monitored backup plus endpoint detection — so an attack is an inconvenience, not an extinction event.
Immutable backup, tested monthly
Access point installation, phone systems, CCTV, access control, digital signage, and structured cabling — professional installation for small and mid-sized businesses in Columbus, OH. One crew, one quote, no subcontractor roulette.
Wall-to-wall wireless that holds up when the building is full — surveyed, installed, and tuned.
