How we work.
What exactly does SAMiT do?
SAMiT is your outsourced IT department. We look after your entire workplace, meaning devices, mailboxes, collaboration, data backup and updates, plus defence against cyberattacks. The licences you need run through us and are included in the price. All for a monthly flat rate per employee, with no haggling over hours.
What is an MSP?
MSP stands for managed service provider. It is an IT company that looks after your IT continuously instead of only turning up when something breaks. You pay a fixed monthly amount, and in return setup, updates, backup, cyber protection and support all run along permanently. The difference to a classic IT contractor is that an MSP wants to avoid incidents, because every incident avoided is cheaper for them too.
What does it cost?
You pay a fixed price per employee per month. We look after one workstation per employee, further devices are added individually. There are two models, SAMiT Produktiv and SAMiT Premium, plus SAMiT Flex for everything in between. You get the exact price in writing after the initial consultation. What it includes is shown alongside.
What is the difference between Produktiv and Premium?
Produktiv is the solid base with support during business hours. Premium adds a security team that detects attacks around the clock and steps in, for companies with higher risk, NIS2 obligations or cyber insurance requirements. The decisive question is whether you need security around the clock. If so, Premium, otherwise Produktiv. If neither model fits, there is SAMiT Flex. Produktiv and Premium are our recommendation from experience, and with Flex we put the model together with you and recommend what fits your environment. Ongoing support and documentation are always included.
Is there an hours limit on support?
No. There is no hours limit and no hours counter. Everything that is part of day-to-day operations is included, for example when an email will not send, a device will not connect, an account needs to be set up or a setting is stuck. You only get a separate quote for self-contained projects like a migration, a larger rollout or a new site, and always in advance.
What is included in support?
Day-to-day operations run automatically in the background: updates, monitoring, protection and backup. On top of that comes support when things go wrong, the everyday matters: creating and blocking users, passwords and access, connecting printers and devices, problems at the workplace, questions about the daily programs, mail issues, restoring individual files. As often as you need it, we do not count hours for this. Not included are separable projects such as a move, a new site, a migration, the initial setup of new devices, on-site work, and server and network projects, for which you get a separate quote in advance. The same applies to advice that goes beyond a fault, that is recommendations on purchases, setup or processes. We bill those in quarter-hour units, and only after we have asked you. With SAMiT Premium the strategy meeting once a quarter is included.
How long do I commit for?
As a rule, the contract runs for an indefinite period and can be terminated with one month's notice to the end of the month. We do not force anyone into a long commitment who does not yet know whether the cooperation fits. Anyone who wants to commit for longer can, and you benefit from that in the price. What suits you, we clarify in the initial consultation and record in the offer.
What we deliver and what we do not.
Who protects my systems around the clock?
In the Premium tier, the vendor's specialised security team handles 24/7 threat detection and response. SAMiT sets up this protection, integrates it into your environment and manages it. That puts a team behind your protection that is staffed around the clock. Building this on your own would be unaffordable for any business of your size.
Do you guarantee that nothing will happen?
Honestly, no one can guarantee that an attack will never happen. We set up your protection to the current state of the art and run it. That lowers your risk considerably, but a hundred per cent guarantee does not exist anywhere in IT security.
How does NIS2 work?
We offer NIS2 guidance as a separate project, independent of the service model. We prepare you, document, and set up the necessary measures to the state of the art. With its security measures, the Premium model provides the ongoing basis for this, but the actual NIS2 preparation is a project with its own quote. We do not issue an official certificate, the legal responsibility stays with you, but you do not go through the process alone.
What happens to my data?
Your business data stays in your own Microsoft 365 environments. SAMiT does not host any customer data itself. For the processing, we conclude a data processing agreement (DPA) under the GDPR with you.
What is possible, and what runs through partners.
Do you also do individual projects without an ongoing contract?
Yes, and not only the projects listed on the site. We do the classic IT work for businesses, from network planning to a server in the office to a one-off backup setup, as a fixed-price project and without an ongoing service model. Just ask. If we cannot do something ourselves, we say so openly and bring in the right people.
Do you offer penetration testing?
We do not provide more in-depth specialist services such as penetration testing or forensic incident analysis ourselves, but through certified partners. You get everything coordinated from a single source, but from the right specialists in each case.
Do you also sell licences only?
Our model is support including licences. We only sell licences without support on request.
Do you also support larger companies?
We focus on SMEs with 5 to 50 employees. At that size I still know the company personally.
How things start.
How do I get started?
A free initial consultation, online or on site. We clarify where you stand and what you need, then you receive a written offer.
Who is my contact person?
First and foremost the founder in person. Depending on the topic, vetted technicians from the partner network join in, but he keeps the overview.
What region do you cover?
Vienna and the surrounding area.
Your question wasn't listed?
Ask us directly. The initial consultation is free and comes with no sales pitch.
