What Sydney business owners and practice managers ask before choosing a managed IT provider.
What is included in Trucell managed IT services?
Helpdesk with named escalation, proactive monitoring and patching, Essential Eight aligned security, backup with tested restores, Microsoft 365 and cloud support, network and on site work, and regular service reviews, all run by one team. Managed security operations, hosted phones, and IT strategy reviews can be added to the same agreement. Consumables, carrier data, and cabling sit outside the monthly fee unless the quote says otherwise.
How much do managed IT services cost?
We do not publish one monthly figure for managed IT, because the price follows what is in scope: the users and devices supported, managed servers and printers, sites, on site attendance, and whether backup and security operations are included. The free managed IT review is where we scope that, and you get a written proposal with inclusions and exclusions before anything is signed. Some services do have published pricing structures: Essential Eight uplift comes as three fixed price packages, SaaS Backup is priced per seat, and hosted phones are priced per user per month.
Do you come on site in Sydney, or is support remote only?
Both. Our service desk and engineers are based at Level 1, 448 Church Street, Parramatta NSW 2150. On site support covers Parramatta, Western Sydney, the Hills District, and the Sydney CBD, with the wider metro by arrangement. Regional NSW and interstate teams are supported remote first, through the same queue and the same named owner.
What are your support hours?
Standard hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, Saturday 8am to 1pm (local time). Critical issues are not abandoned outside those hours: after hours paths defined in your agreement keep an owner on the thread, with response commitments written into the contract.
Where is your support team based?
Our office and engineers are in Parramatta. Level 1 and level 2 support also operate from our teams in the Philippines and Chile, with rostering written into your contract, and an Australian owner takes the thread on critical incidents and after hours escalations defined in scope.
Do you specialise in medical and radiology practices?
Yes, healthcare is our deepest area. We support 50+ healthcare sites, including radiology and imaging groups, GP practices, and specialist clinics, and our ISO/IEC 27001:2022 scope explicitly includes PACS/DICOM administration. We support practices running Best Practice, MedicalDirector, Genie, and Zedmed.
How does switching from our current IT provider work?
We run a staged transition: documenting your systems and runbooks, aligning monitoring and tools, verifying backups with a real restore, and agreeing escalation paths before go live. Cutover is sequenced to limit disruption, so your users see clearer ownership rather than a reset.
Managed IT services, IT support, or a computer consultant: which do we need?
Managed IT services means one team looks after your whole environment for a monthly fee, which is what this page covers. Our IT support page goes deeper into how that service desk runs day to day, including SLAs and co managed models. If you need advice on one decision, such as a server replacement or a cloud move, before committing to an ongoing service, start with our Sydney computer consultants instead.
