What the monthly contract covers.

One team. One invoice. The work below sits inside the managed fee.

🖥

24/7 monitoring

Servers, networks and endpoints watched around the clock. We catch faults before your staff feel them.

🎯

Helpdesk

Unlimited remote and on-site support for contracted users. Phone, email or portal. Tiers 1 to 4, so a password reset and a virtualisation job do not sit in the same queue.

🔨

Patch management

Operating systems, firmware and applications kept current. No "please approve this update" trail for your staff.

💾

Backup and recovery

Daily backups. Recovery plans that get tested. Data you can get back.

🔒

Security

Endpoint protection, firewall management, email filtering and awareness training. Defence in layers, not a single antivirus licence.

📈

Strategic planning / vCIO

Quarterly reviews, a technology roadmap and budget planning. IT that follows the business.

Licensing sits with us when you want it. AOLC is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider. Microsoft 365, Azure and Dynamics 365 can ride on the same relationship, billed in ZAR, supported locally.

Who it's for.

SMBs, 10 to 200 users

Enough complexity to hurt, not enough headcount for a full internal IT team.

Schools

Campus networks, labs and staff devices. Teachers teach. We handle the tickets.

Multi-site organisations

One standard across branches. Travel for Gauteng sites is built into the engagement. Remote cover for sites further out. On-site teams in all nine provinces. Travel time capped at 1 hour each way.

Government and procurement-sensitive buyers

POPIA-aware delivery. B-BBEE Level 2 with 125% procurement recognition. 51%+ Black Owned. Certificate on request.

Flexible engagement.

Pick the shape that fits. We will not force a managed contract onto a one-off job.

💰

Ad hoc

Pay after delivery at standard rates. No term. Fine for a single incident or a business that is not ready to commit.

Block of time

Pre-purchase hours at a discount. Monthly, quarterly or annual billing. Terms of 12, 24 or 36 months. Longer terms discount more. Unused hours expire at the end of the billing period.

📄

Managed contract

Per-user or per-device monthly fee. Monitoring, patching, security and support included. 12-month minimum. Annual auto-renewal.

Out-of-scope work is quoted first. No surprise invoices.

What our clients say.

"AOLC installed our CAT lab from scratch — cabling, workstations, software, everything. Two years on, they still maintain it and respond within hours when we have issues. The teachers love working with them."

IT Coordinator, Norkem Park High School

"We consolidated three IT vendors into AOLC and it was the best decision we made. One invoice, one support number, and a team that actually knows our setup. Our Microsoft 365 migration was done over a weekend with zero downtime."

Operations Manager, Manufacturing

"What sets AOLC apart is that they treat our business like their own. They proactively flag issues before they become problems and their response times are the best we've experienced from any IT provider."

Managing Director, Professional Services

Frequently asked questions.

What is included in AOLC managed IT?

24/7 monitoring, helpdesk, patching, backups, endpoint security and quarterly strategic reviews. Remote and on-site. Asset and licence tracking. Pricing is per user or per device, after a free look at the current environment.

What SLA do you commit to?

15 minutes on P1, 1 hour on P2, 4 hours on P3, 8 hours on P4. That is response, not resolution. After-hours cover applies to P1 and P2 by default.

Do you cover Johannesburg and the rest of South Africa?

Yes. Head office is in Boksburg. On-site across greater Johannesburg and all nine provinces. Travel for Gauteng sites is built in. For suburb-level coverage see IT Support in Johannesburg.

How does pricing work?

Managed work is a flat monthly fee. Out-of-scope work is quoted first, then billed at published hourly rules (15-minute remote increments, 30-minute on-site increments, after-hours surcharges). No rand amounts on this page. You get a scoped proposal after the assessment.

Managed IT or break-fix?

Managed is proactive, with a monthly fee and an SLA. Break-fix is pay-per-incident when something is already down. Managed suits a business that wants predictable cost and uptime.

Is AOLC a Microsoft partner?

Yes. AOLC is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider. Microsoft 365, Azure and Dynamics 365 can sit inside the managed engagement, with ZAR billing and local support.

Are you B-BBEE compliant?

B-BBEE Level 2, 125% procurement recognition, 51%+ Black Owned. Certificate available for tender and vendor packs.
