Smoother Start, Stronger IT

Switching IT partners can feel like a high-stakes move. Our structured onboarding process helps you get it right from day one. Whether you’re fully outsourcing or working with us in a co-managed model, Solve iT makes onboarding clear, calm, and customized.

We work in designated phases based on a timeline that works best for you. Our goal is to set clear expectations and build a team that will effectively manage your IT needs from onboarding through to ongoing support.

Why Our Onboarding Works

Our onboarding is purpose-built for overwhelmed IT managers and skeptical business owners alike. We’ll earn your trust by showing our work and speaking your language.
  • Clear timelines, realistic deliverables
    (most clients transition on the 1st or 15th of the month)

  • Secure coordination with outgoing IT providers

  • People-first communication and plain-language training

  • No hidden surprises or rushed rollouts

  • Built-in cybersecurity, not bolted on

Welcome to Solve iT!

Phase 0

Preparing to Get iT Right

Before tools are deployed or logins are assigned, we begin with Phase Zero. This is a mutual-discovery, trust-building step designed to prevent rushed decisions and protect your time, tech, and budget.

What You Can Expect:

  • Stakeholder alignment meeting

  • Review of current risks, responsibilities, and expectations

  • Analysis of current vendors, systems, and software to ensure compatibility 

  • Clear go/no-go decision point

Phase Zero removes pressure, reduces confusion, and lays the groundwork for success. If either party isn’t confident in a successful rollout, we pause, no pressure, no fluff, no hype.

Phase 1

Creating a Robust Foundation

We build the relationship, not just the infrastructure. This phase sets up both our teams for success.

What Happens:

  • Introductory meetings with key personnel

  • Review of your business goals and IT priorities

  • Documentation of systems, access, and dependencies

  • Deployment of Solve iT tools (monitoring, backup, ticketing, antivirus)

  • Coordination with outgoing IT provider (if applicable)

  • Welcome emails with support instructions and training resources

Your users gain access to support systems immediately. We work quietly behind the scenes to avoid disrupting productivity.

Phase 2

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Now that the basics are in place, we dive deeper. This is where we bring cybersecurity, co-management, and collaboration to life.

Key Activities:

  • Cybersecurity awareness training and phishing simulations

  • Security configuration (firewalls, patching, user controls)

  • Set up of self-service portals and compliance tracking

  • CoMITs playbook and shared responsibility documentation

  • Deployment of tools like Sophos and PII onboarding

Your internal team gets access to a partner, not a vendor. We equip your staff with the tools and training to stay secure.

Phase 3

Hit the Ground Running 

This is where everything clicks into place. Solve iT becomes a natural extension of your team.

Deliverables Include:

  • Enhancement of systems, tools, and workflows

  • Integration with internal IT and leadership

  • Documentation of responsibilities and reporting structure

  • Set up the Quarterly Business Review (QBR) cadence

  • Final walkthrough of deliverables and remaining action items

We keep communication high-touch, direct, and practical. By this point, our partnership will feel like second nature.

And just like that, Onboarding is Complete!

Teaming Up

Ongoing Review & Optimization

We don’t disappear after onboarding. We stay engaged with regular check-ins, performance reviews, and shared planning.

Expect:

  • Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs)

  • Budget and project planning support

  • Roadmapping to keep tech aligned with your goals
