managed it, done differently
Most managed service providers want to replace your IT department. West One takes the opposite approach: we give your own team the enterprise platform the big MSPs run on — and let them run it, at a fraction of the cost.
The standard managed-services pitch is simple: fire your IT staff, or never hire them, and pay us $75 to $150 per user, every month, to be your IT department. For a hundred people that’s six figures a year — and you’re paying for their technicians, their margin, and their priorities, not yours. When something breaks, you file a ticket and wait in their queue behind every other client.
It works for some companies. But a lot of businesses already have capable people in-house — they’re just missing the professional-grade tools, because those tools are sold through providers, not off the shelf. So they end up overpaying an MSP for software they could run themselves.
We’re not your outsourced IT department. We’re the bridge that lets your in-house team buy and run the same platform the MSPs use.
You normally can’t buy enterprise RMM, endpoint security, and backup platforms directly — they’re locked behind the partner channel. We made ourselves that channel. Your team gets the console; you own the data and the decisions; and because we’re not the ones doing the day-to-day management, you pay a fraction of what a full-service MSP charges to do it for you.
per user / month
They replace your team. You pay for their staff, their margin, and their queue.
per seat / month
You keep your team and hand them the enterprise platform to run themselves.
The result is the same tooling — monitoring, patching, remote support, endpoint protection, backup — without the headcount replacement or the per-user premium. Your people stay in control; we keep the platform running underneath them and help them get more out of it.
Vantage, our managed-endpoint platform powered by N-able N-central, for monitoring, patching, and remote access. SentinelOne for AI-driven endpoint protection. N-able Cove for direct-to-cloud backup and recovery. Business VoIP and hosting when you need them. All of it under one roof, all of it yours to run — and we’ll help you move any of it elsewhere if you ever decide to. No lock-in, no games.
This isn’t a reseller drop-shipping a dashboard. We’ve run this exact model at scale, in two very different industries.
Worldwide environmental remediation
Moved them off standalone physical servers into virtualization and onto Microsoft 365, then built a worldwide, client-facing telemetry platform that streamed live job-site data from field hardware into a web dashboard. Ran for nine years, straight through the company’s acquisition.
Payroll / HR, ~10,000 payrolls a month
Replaced aging phone systems and circuits with a Fortinet build and self-run VoIP, then moved the company onto Microsoft 365 and Teams — which is what let a payroll company keep running fully remote through COVID. Over 100 endpoints managed on the same platform we sell, live today.
The reason to hire us over a firm is simple: a firm subcontracts the work and marks it up. We’ve never not known how the thing actually works, because we’ve been the ones under the house wiring it — for thirty years, across nearly every shift in how the world connects. When we tell you we can build or run something for your team, that’s not a sales line. It’s experience talking.
We’ll show you exactly what it would cost to run your own IT on enterprise tooling — and how that compares to what an MSP would charge to do it for you.
