response time (SLA)

Without structured IT management, every outage becomes a fire drill.

Most SMEs run IT on a best-effort basis. Patches are postponed, backups are never tested, monitoring is reactive and the only person who really understands the environment is on holiday when something breaks.

Unknown exposure

Unpatched systems, shadow IT and forgotten admin accounts accumulate into a real attack surface – until they do not.

Backups that have never been restored

A backup that has never been tested is a hope, not a recovery plan. The first real incident is the first test.

Single points of failure

When one person holds all the passwords and all the context, sickness or resignation becomes an operational risk.

Reactive support only

Waiting for things to break is expensive – in downtime, in customer trust and in the engineer hours it takes to put out the fire.

Inconsistent security

Some endpoints are encrypted, others are not. Some have MFA, others do not. The weakest device is the one that gets compromised.

Unpredictable IT cost

Hourly billing turns IT into a surprise expense every month – and incentivises the wrong behaviour on both sides.

How KPX runs your IT – proactively, with one contract and one SLA.

Managed IT with KPX is not a collection of tools – it is an operating model. We take ownership of the day-to-day, the planning and the documentation. Your team uses the IT. We make sure it works.

One platform, one team, one contract

We standardise on a small set of proven platforms – RMM for endpoint and server management, EDR for security, a managed backup stack and Microsoft 365 administration. Standardisation is what makes IT operations affordable and predictable for SMEs.

  • Centralised monitoring across all endpoints, servers and cloud workloads
  • Documented onboarding, handover and runbooks for every customer
  • Named Service Delivery Manager as your single point of contact
  • Monthly reporting on SLAs, incidents and improvement actions

Proactive operations – not break-fix

Our model is built on prevention rather than reaction. Patches, updates, capacity checks and security tuning happen on a schedule – and the rest is monitored continuously. You see the work, not the surprises.

  • Automated patching for operating systems and third-party software
  • Quarterly restore tests on every managed backup set
  • Security tuning and policy reviews on a defined cadence
  • Capacity and lifecycle planning before hardware ages out

Transparent, contractually guaranteed service levels

The SLA defines what we deliver and how fast we respond – in writing. You see the numbers every month, and we review them with you. No hidden commitments, no fine print.

  • 1-hour response time for critical incidents
  • Defined resolution targets by severity
  • Monthly KPI reporting delivered to your inbox
  • Quarterly service review with your Service Delivery Manager

Smart Managed – standardised, configurable, audit-ready

Smart Managed is KPX’s delivery framework. Configuration, patching and security updates run through a centralised console – which means lower cost and higher consistency. Individual configuration is possible where it matters.

  • Standardised service catalogue with predictable pricing
  • Configuration per customer where it makes a difference
  • Full documentation and audit trail for every change
  • Quarterly service review with concrete improvement actions

Without structured IT management, every outage becomes a fire drill.

KPX provides proactive, documented IT operations for Swiss SMEs – so your team can focus on the business, not on the IT. See our service catalogue below, our <a href="/en/managed-it-services/endpoint-detection-response">Managed EDR</a> for security, and <a href="/en/managed-it-services/it-lifecycle-field-service">IT Lifecycle</a> for hardware.

General information on Managed IT Services for SMEs

What a managed service provider does, why proactive monitoring is essential, and how a single contract changes the way you run IT.

What is a managed service provider?

A managed service provider (MSP) takes operational responsibility for a company's IT infrastructure. The MSP monitors systems around the clock, applies patches, manages security and resolves issues before they affect the business. The customer pays a fixed monthly fee per device or user and receives a defined service level – rather than buying ad-hoc support hours.

Why is proactive monitoring essential?

Most IT outages do not happen out of nowhere – they build up over days or weeks. Hard drives fail slowly, security gaps accumulate, services run out of capacity. Proactive monitoring catches these warning signs early. The Swiss National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) explicitly recommends continuous monitoring and timely patching as the baseline for SMEs.

Why one contract instead of multiple vendors?

Spreading IT across multiple vendors creates gaps: nobody owns the full picture, response times multiply, and accountability is unclear. A single managed services contract gives you one point of contact, one SLA and one invoice. According to Microsoft Security Response Center, consolidated vendor management also reduces the attack surface compared to fragmented toolchains.

Frequently asked questions about Managed IT Services

What is a managed service provider (MSP) and what does it do?

An MSP takes operational responsibility for your IT infrastructure. That includes proactive monitoring, patch management, backup, security, Microsoft 365 administration and helpdesk support – everything you would otherwise need an internal IT team for. You pay a predictable monthly fee per device or user and receive a contractually defined service level.

How much does managed IT cost for an SME in Switzerland?

Pricing depends on the number of devices and users, the chosen service scope and the engagement model. KPX deliberately does not work with fixed prices – every customer receives an individually calculated quote based on the actual scope of work. In our experience, outsourcing IT is significantly more cost-effective than running an internal IT department when you factor in salaries, social contributions, training and sick-day coverage.

How quickly does KPX respond to IT issues?

Critical incidents are responded to within 1 hour, contractually guaranteed in our SLA. Less critical requests are handled on the same or next business day. You reach us by phone, ticket or email – and you always talk to a real engineer who knows your environment.

Is the service compliant with Swiss data protection law (DSG / nDSG)?

Yes. All KPX processes comply with the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG, in force since 1 September 2023). Data is processed in Switzerland or in jurisdictions with an adequate level of protection. We sign data processing agreements (DPA) and provide the documentation your legal team requires.

Can I keep my existing IT setup or do I have to start from scratch?

You can keep your existing setup. KPX takes over the operation of what is already in place and improves it step by step. Where a component needs to be replaced, we explain why and propose an alternative – we do not rebuild for the sake of rebuilding.

What is the difference between Managed IT and classic IT support?

Classic IT support is reactive – the engineer arrives after something has broken. Managed IT is proactive: systems are monitored around the clock, issues are detected and resolved before they affect your business, and security patches are applied automatically. You pay a flat monthly fee instead of unpredictable hourly rates.

Do you also support SMEs outside of Zurich?

Yes. KPX serves SMEs throughout Switzerland. Most day-to-day operations happen remotely via secure remote-access tools. On-site visits are scheduled as needed – primarily in the greater Zurich area, but also elsewhere in Switzerland when the situation requires it.

What contract terms should I expect?

We work with transparent, written contracts – no hidden commitments. Typical minimum terms are 12 months with monthly billing. Cancellation terms and notice periods are clearly defined. We are happy to walk through the contract with you in the free initial consultation.

What happens if I am not satisfied with the service?

We take satisfaction seriously. Every customer has a named Service Delivery Manager who owns the relationship and follows up on a regular cadence. If something is not working, you raise it – we respond, fix it and document the resolution. The SLA defines what happens if we miss our own commitments.

Do you also offer cybersecurity services for SMEs?

Yes. Our <a href="/en/managed-it-services/endpoint-detection-response">Managed EDR</a> runs on SentinelOne and is monitored by our Swiss SOC, 24/7. We combine it with firewall management, email security, backup and Microsoft 365 hardening into a single security posture.

Do you handle hardware procurement and device setup?

Yes. Our <a href="/en/managed-it-services/it-lifecycle-field-service">IT Lifecycle &amp; Field Service</a> covers procurement, pre-configuration, MDM enrolment, on-site rollout in the Zurich area and secure disposal at end of life – all coordinated with our managed services team.

Smart Managed – KPX service framework

KPX Smart Managed is the delivery framework behind every managed service. Networking, security, endpoints and monitoring are controlled through a single console – which reduces administrative overhead on your side and makes the service predictable on ours.

What that means in practice

  • Configuration, patches and security updates are pushed through a centralised console
  • Helpdesk requests are documented and handled against a defined SLA
  • Availability and utilisation of your systems are visible at any time
  • Escalation happens automatically when something needs attention – not when you call

Who it is for

Smart Managed fits SMEs that want to run their IT infrastructure without a dedicated internal administrator team – either as a fully outsourced service or as a complement to existing internal IT. The framework is the same; the division of work is what changes.
