Switching to Neuron Is Easier Than You Think
Your Current IT Situation Should Not Hold You Hostage
If you are reading this, chances are your current IT provider is not delivering what you need. Maybe tickets sit open for days. Maybe you are paying for "managed services" that feel more like reactive break-fix. Maybe you have outgrown a one-person shop that cannot keep up with your security requirements. Whatever the reason, you already know something needs to change.
The thing that stops most businesses from making that change is the switching process itself. It sounds disruptive. It sounds risky. And if you are locked into a contract, it sounds impossible.
None of that is true. We have transitioned hundreds of businesses from other providers over the past 25 years, and we have the process down to a science. Here is exactly how it works.
Step 1: A Conversation, Not a Sales Pitch
Everything starts with a phone call or a meeting. We want to understand what is not working, what your business actually needs, and whether we are the right fit. This is not a high-pressure demo or a canned presentation. It is a straightforward conversation between your team and ours.
If it turns out we are not the right partner for your situation, we will tell you that directly. We would rather be honest upfront than waste your time.
Step 2: We Assess Your Current Environment
Before we change a single thing, we conduct a thorough assessment of your existing infrastructure. We document your network, your servers, your workstations, your security tools, your backup systems, and every application your team depends on. We identify what is working, what is at risk, and what needs immediate attention.
This assessment happens in the background. Your team keeps working normally. There is no disruption, no downtime, and no awkward overlap where nobody knows who is responsible for what.
You receive a detailed report with our findings, including a clear picture of where your technology stands today and a prioritized list of recommendations. This report is yours to keep regardless of whether you move forward with us.
Step 3: We Build a Transition Plan
Every transition gets a written plan with specific dates, milestones, and responsibilities. We do not wing it. The plan covers:
-
Credential and access transfer — We coordinate the handoff of admin credentials, vendor accounts, licenses, and documentation from your current provider. If your current provider is cooperative, this is a smooth process. If they are not, we have handled that before and know exactly how to navigate it.
-
Tool deployment — We install our monitoring, management, and security tools alongside your existing systems. Everything runs in parallel until we are confident the transition is complete.
-
User communication — Your employees receive clear instructions on how to reach us for support, what is changing, and what is staying the same. No confusion about who to call.
-
Priority items — If the assessment revealed urgent security gaps or reliability risks, we address those first, before the full transition is complete.
The typical transition takes about 30 days from start to finish. Your team has support from day one. Critical issues get immediate attention even while the broader transition is still underway.
What If You Are Stuck in a Contract
This is the question we hear most often, and the answer is simpler than you might expect.
Most IT service contracts have defined terms, but they also have exit clauses, performance obligations, and notice periods that your current provider may not have explained clearly. We will review your existing agreement and help you understand your actual options.
In many cases, businesses discover they have more flexibility than they realized. Some contracts are month-to-month and the business simply never asked. Others have performance clauses that your provider has failed to meet, which may give you grounds to exit early.
Even when a contract is genuinely binding, we can often begin working with you immediately on the areas your current provider is not covering — cybersecurity improvements, strategic planning, backup verification, or compliance preparation. When your contract expires, we are already in place and the transition is seamless.
We are not asking you to break a contract. We are asking you to start a conversation about what comes next, so you are ready to move the moment it makes sense.
What Happens to Your Data
Your data stays exactly where it is until we are ready to move it, and we only move it with your approval. We create verified backups before any migration. We run old and new systems in parallel during the transition. And we do not decommission anything until you have confirmed that everything is working.
If your current provider hosts your data in their environment, we coordinate the transfer and verify integrity at every step. If they make that process difficult, we have legal and technical playbooks for exactly that scenario.
No Learning Curve for Your Team
One of the biggest concerns we hear is that switching providers means retraining everyone. In practice, the experience for your employees actually gets simpler. They get one phone number to call, one email address for support, and one team that knows their name and their systems.
We assign a dedicated account manager to every client. Your team builds a relationship with people who understand your business, your applications, and your priorities. That continuity matters when something goes wrong at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon.
We Handle Your Vendor Relationships
Your internet provider, your phone system vendor, your ERP support team, your copier company — we take over coordination with all of them. Instead of juggling multiple vendor contacts and playing middleman between companies that point fingers at each other, you have one team managing all of it.
When an issue involves multiple vendors, we own the resolution process from start to finish. You get a single point of contact and a single update thread instead of a dozen.
What Our Clients Say About the Switch
The most common feedback we receive from new clients is that they wish they had made the switch sooner. The assessment alone opens their eyes to risks they did not know existed. The transition itself is almost always smoother than they expected. And within the first 90 days, most clients see a measurable improvement in system reliability, support responsiveness, and overall confidence in their IT environment.

The Bottom Line
Switching IT providers does not have to be disruptive, risky, or complicated. We have done this hundreds of times. We have a proven process, a dedicated transition team, and 25 years of experience managing the exact kind of infrastructure your business runs on.
If your current provider is not meeting your expectations, you owe it to your business to explore what better looks like. Start with a conversation. There is no obligation, no pressure, and no cost for the initial assessment.
