What an AMC covers

Nine disciplines, one monthly invoice.

You stop tracking call-outs and incident invoices. We track everything for you and report monthly: what we touched, what we replaced, what we are watching.

Hardware coverage

Servers, desktops, laptops, printers, and peripherals. We pre-image, deploy, repair, and replace. Brand-agnostic. Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple, all covered.

Network & WiFi

Routers, switches, firewalls, and wireless. Configuration, continuous monitoring, on-site rebuild when something fails.

Microsoft 365 administration

Tenant operations, user lifecycle, security baselines, folded into your AMC. No separate vendor for cloud and on-prem.

Cybersecurity baseline

Endpoint protection, MFA enforcement, patch management, threat-detection tuning. Quarterly review of what is escalating in your environment.

On-site & remote support

Same-day on-site visits in NYC, LA, SF, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Chicago; next business day nationwide. Remote troubleshooting around the clock. Phone, ticket, or chat. Your team picks the channel.

Preventive maintenance

Scheduled health checks, firmware updates, backup verification, quarterly compliance reviews. Most issues fixed before anyone notices.

Asset register & lifecycle

Every laptop, server, switch, and license tracked in your asset register. Procurement support, end-of-warranty alerts, refresh planning.

Reporting & reviews

Monthly tickets, response times, asset health, and incidents recapped in writing. Quarterly executive briefing for Standard and Enterprise tiers.

Vendor management

We coordinate with your ISP, telephony provider, and equipment OEMs so you do not run a vendor war room every time something breaks.

Why GR IT

Four reasons clients pick us over the alternative.

Concrete operational facts, the kind that show up when you ask for references.

US-based engineers

30+ engineers across US delivery hubs. 4-hour on-site response in Tier-A metros; next business day nationwide. We do not subcontract on-site work.

Brand-agnostic coverage

Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple, Cisco, Fortinet, Sophos. We service the gear you have, not just brands we resell.

Written SLAs, monthly reports

Every SLA target is measured. Every miss is documented. The contract works for you, not for us.

150+ active contracts

Pattern recognition from four years of AMC operations. We have already debugged the issue you are about to file.

Industries we cover

AMC profiles by sector.

Six common shapes. Tier and scope vary, but the operational discipline is the same.

SME offices

10-50 user offices: laptops, networking, Microsoft 365, basic security baseline. Our most common AMC profile and where Standard tier shines.

Retail & F&B

POS systems, kitchen displays, customer WiFi, payment terminals. Specialist support for weekend incidents when revenue is at stake.

Professional services

Law firms, accounting practices, consultancies. Information barriers, document management, secure remote access for client sites.

Healthcare clinics

Clinics and small hospitals. PACS connectivity, patient-record DLP, regulatory documentation alongside hardware support.

Schools & training

Classrooms, labs, staff offices, parent portals. Student device fleets via Intune, content filtering, exam-mode lockdown.

Real estate & property

Sales offices, building management systems, on-site project hubs. Mobile-friendly setups for site visits and showroom turnover.

Beyond support

Leased hardware and monthly reports, included in scope.

AMC is not just reactive ticket cover. The Standard and Enterprise tiers include leased infrastructure where you need it, and monthly reports that turn IT spend into a reviewable line item, not a black box.

Leased hardware and software

  • NAS for backup
    Right-sized network-attached storage for daily and weekly backup retention.
  • Hardware firewall
    Edge firewall sized to your link, configured and tuned by our network team.
  • Backup software
    Licensed backup software with off-site replication and immutable retention.
  • Application optimisation
    Performance tuning for line-of-business applications, not generic templates.

Comprehensive monthly reports

  • Ticket summary
    Volumes by priority, response times against SLA, root-cause themes.
  • IT assets inventory
    Every device tracked, warranty status, end-of-life flags, refresh recommendations.
  • Backup history and patch management
    Backup success rates, patch compliance, exceptions and corrective actions.
  • Remote assistance and antivirus logs
    Session count, malware events, threat-detection trends.
Equipment coverage

What an AMC actually covers, by equipment category.

Read across each row to see how an Annual Maintenance Contract handles preventive maintenance, break-fix work, spare-parts cover, and the response SLA for that equipment category. Brand-agnostic across Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple, Cisco, Fortinet, and others.

AMC vs break-fix

What you actually get for the monthly fee.

Response SLA

What "we are on it" actually means, in minutes.

Three priority tiers. Each ticket gets classified at intake so you always know which clock is running. Response is the time to first engineer action, not auto-acknowledgment.

Escalation matrix

Who picks up if a ticket is not resolved at the prior tier.

Every ticket starts at Level 1 (Help Desk). If we cannot close it inside the response window, it escalates to the next level automatically. The matrix below documents who owns the ticket at each stage and the time-bound trigger to move up.

How it works

From first visit to first invoice in two weeks.

No long sales cycle. We come on site, document the environment, send a written proposal, then transition you in.
  1. 1

    Audit

    1 day

    Site visit. We catalog every device, document network topology, identify single points of failure. Output: an asset register you keep regardless.

  2. 2

    Proposal

    2-3 days

    Tier recommendation, contract scope, response SLAs, monthly visit schedule. Written and priced before you sign anything.

  3. 3

    Onboarding

    1-2 weeks

    Asset tagging, monitoring agents deployed, runbooks built, escalation paths defined. We know your environment as well as you do by the end of week two.

  4. 4

    Operations

    Ongoing

    Tickets, scheduled visits, monthly reports, quarterly reviews. The day-to-day of the contract. SLAs measured and reported, never quietly missed.

Our office grew from 12 to 40 staff in two years. Break-fix invoices doubled twice. We moved to AMC with GR IT and the cost has been flat for nine months, even after we added a server and a second branch.

Why USA clients pick GR for AMC

Three reasons the renewal rate is what it is.

Equipment care, proactive maintenance, and coverage breadth. The detail behind each card is the part that shows up when you ask for references.

Comprehensive equipment care

Every device under contract gets the same care, from the CFO's laptop to the warehouse scanner. Brand-agnostic, no carve-outs, no "that is out of scope" surprises.

  • Brand-agnostic across Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple, Cisco, Fortinet
  • 30+ engineers with hands-on hardware experience
  • Spare parts stocked for the most common configurations
  • Asset register kept current month-on-month

Proactive maintenance

Quarterly health checks, firmware updates, backup verification, and capacity reviews catch most issues before they become incidents. The fewer tickets you file, the better we are doing.

  • Scheduled health checks on every device class
  • Firmware and OS patching on a documented cadence
  • Backup verification, not just backup execution
  • Capacity and performance reviews ahead of pinch points

Comprehensive coverage

150+ active AMC contracts. Four years of US delivery operations. The coverage breadth means we have already debugged the issue you are about to file.

  • 150+ active AMC contracts under management
  • 99.9% uptime across the active client base
  • 24/7 coverage on Standard and Enterprise tiers
  • P1 5min, P2 10min, P3 30min, P4 45min response SLA
