Why do Schererville, Merrillville, Valparaiso, and Crown Point businesses choose a local IT partner?

Response time. When a server fails or a phishing email lands, remote-only providers put you in a queue. A managed service provider with a dedicated Northwest Indiana presence can schedule on-site visits across Lake and Porter County and answer with a person rather than a portal.

How does co-managed IT work for Region companies with internal staff?

Co-managed IT means your internal team keeps control while AIS covers the gaps: after-hours monitoring, security operations, patching, and project overflow. It is the most common model for Schererville, Merrillville, Valparaiso, and Crown Point businesses with one or two IT staff who need depth without new headcount.

What does onboarding with AIS look like?

New Region clients move through a 90-day onboarding built around three phases. The first 30 days cover discovery and documentation: network mapping, asset inventory, and a security baseline. The next 30 days cover tooling deployment: monitoring agents, backup, and endpoint protection rolled out with no downtime to your team. From day 61 on, you are in steady-state support, backed by the same help desk and on-site team covering Schererville, Merrillville, Valparaiso, and Crown Point.

Why consolidate IT vendors with one partner?

Many Region businesses run separate vendors for help desk, cybersecurity, backup, and cabling, juggling contracts and finger-pointing when something breaks. AIS replaces that patchwork with a single managed agreement covering Managed IT Services, Managed Cybersecurity, Strategic IT Consulting, and Cloud & Backup Services, so there is one team accountable for the whole environment.

AIS was named to the Indianapolis Business Journal Fast 25 as the 6th fastest-growing private company in the Indianapolis area. The same team supports environments ranging from Region small businesses to a federally regulated airport authority and a pharmaceutical R&D campus, bringing Fortune 100-scale security and uptime standards to a Northwest Indiana budget.
