One local technology team

IT services for small business, installed together

Cabling to cameras to phones, everything is installed together and supported by one local company, serving small businesses from Charleston to Savannah.

Technology combinations for different building types

Small businesses need different setups depending on their daily work. Pick your field to see typical device combinations that share wiring and run from one cabinet.

Typical installation

Connected systems

Hardware installed in your building

Each device operates on the same network and connects back to a single cabinet. Everything relies on shared cabling to deliver data and power to your equipment.

Structured wiring

Each device has its own cable, and power is delivered through that cable to access points and cameras.

View system details

Network switches

Switches sit in the wall cabinet, supplying data and power to each device over one cable.

View system details

Business Wi-Fi

Access points are positioned for your building's layout, and one login manages all of them. Guest Wi-Fi reaches the internet only.

View system details

Business firewall

Firewalls filter traffic between your building and the internet, isolating guest Wi-Fi from card readers and laptops over the same cabling.

Internet backup

Cellular connections from a second carrier switch in automatically to keep your business internet and phone operating during a main line failure.

Battery backup

Short outages are carried by batteries so that switches, cameras and door readers do not restart.

Security cameras

Your office security system records to equipment inside the building, and footage can be viewed from a phone without a license fee.

Door entry

Access is granted by badge, phone or code, using your own hardware. Every entry and refused credential is logged with the person and time.

Business alarm system

Contacts follow an arming schedule, sending alerts to chosen staff on their phones, covering doors, motion, glass breakage, water, heat and cold.

Combined project quote

Equipment and labor combined in a single quote

Equipment and labor are listed together in one quote, broken down by system. Reviewing your project is straightforward, showing exactly what goes into wiring, cameras, doors and network hardware.

  1. 1

    Survey every system together

    Planning your technology as one project ensures your network, cabling and power are sized correctly for all devices.

  2. 2

    One quote broken down

    Equipment and labor are listed together in one quote, broken down by system so you see exactly what each part involves.

  3. 3

    Install in staged phases

    Existing cabling is tested and kept wherever it passes. New components are added logically, sized for your current needs and later additions.

  4. 4

    Handover with administrative logins

    Handover delivers the logins in your own name, labeled ports, and a complete inventory of what is installed where.

Combined system installation

Every device shares common cabling and power

Systems share cabling, switches and power, so they are surveyed together. Devices connect to one wall cabinet, creating a combined plan for your whole building.

  1. 1

    One survey covers every system

    Walking through your building lets us plan cabling, cameras, access points and phones at once.

  2. 2

    Sizing network requirements first

    Cabling, switches and your internet line are planned first because every other device depends on them to operate.

  3. 3

    Planning for future additions

    Most jobs combine two or three systems initially, and your first stage is sized to support later growth.

Managed IT services and ongoing help

Managed IT services monitor your systems around the clock, while the help desk answers questions. Setup for a new employee is completed before their first day, providing immediate access to email, phones and shared files.

Questions about installation

  • Do most jobs combine several systems at once?

    Most jobs combine two or three of these systems. Surveying them together ensures they share cabling and power efficiently, and the first stage is sized for later additions.

  • What part of the network is surveyed first?

    Networking hardware, meaning cabling, switches and the internet line, is sized first because other systems depend on it. Specific details are agreed at the survey, so call to plan your space.

  • Is our existing cabling kept and used?

    Existing cabling is tested and kept wherever it passes. New runs are added only where needed to connect additional devices.

  • What does one quote cover?

    Combined quotes cover the cameras, door readers, wireless network and phones together. Equipment and labor are listed together in one quote, broken down by system.

  • What do I receive at handover?

    Handover delivers the logins, labeled ports and an inventory of what is installed where. Logins are held in the business's own name.

  • Do I own the equipment like door hardware?

    Your business owns the door hardware, and there is no per-door or per-user subscription to keep the doors working. Camera applications carry no license fee.

  • Who do we call for help afterward?

    Staff reach the CloudCentric help desk by phone at (844) 422-7000, by email, or by messaging in Microsoft Teams. Most help desk work is done remotely.
