All-inclusive managed IT for Australian SMBs. Four tiers from $195/user/month, vCIO in every plan, SMB1001-aligned end to end.

What we deliver

InnovateX provides all-inclusive managed IT for Australian small and medium businesses on Microsoft and Apple platforms. Four per-user, per-month tiers covering security, support, identity, endpoint management, networking, backups, and a vCIO. All built around the SMB1001 cybersecurity certification levels, so your security maturity is part of the service, not a separate compliance project.

Every plan includes one device per user, MFA, vCIO meetings, monthly onsite presence, security training, help desk, patching and updates, and cloud backups. As you scale up tiers, you add deeper security tooling, faster response, and more vCIO depth.

Built for the handover

Most MSPs are built to keep you. We’re not.

The day your business is ready to bring IT in-house, when you’ve grown past day-to-day managed services and want your own internal team, we engineer the handover. We document your environment, train your incoming staff, transfer ownership, and stay available for a defined period to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

No offboarding fees. No “if you leave us, the documentation goes with us.”

From there, many graduated clients keep us on for strategic consulting, architecture leadership, or vCTO work. Capability over dependency is how we design the relationship from day one.

How onboarding works

Onboarding typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on environment complexity. We follow a structured, low-disruption transition designed to get you secure first, optimised second.

01

Assess & Plan

We review your current environment. Devices, identity, security posture, networking. From there we identify risks, inefficiencies, and the right tier for your business.

02

Onboard & Optimise

We transition your environment into our managed service model, aligning Intune compliance, Azure security baselines, networking performance, and Microsoft 365 hardening with the tier you've chosen.

03

Manage & Support

Proactive monitoring, regular maintenance, remote support, and continuous improvement, backed by clear SLAs and your included vCIO cadence.

04

Evolve & Hand Over

As you grow, we step up the vCIO depth and bring in consulting capability. When you're ready to take IT in-house, we engineer the handover. No offboarding fees.

Why teams choose us

vCIO included in every tier

Every plan includes vCIO meetings. Annually on Essential, fortnightly on Enterprise. Strategy keeps pace with operations, not bolted on as an upsell.

SMB1001 aligned, end to end

Each tier corresponds to an SMB1001 maturity level (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond). You can demonstrate your security maturity to clients, insurers, and grant providers, with the certification path built into your managed service.

Australian-based support, period

No offshore tier-one filter, no timezone gap. The team supporting your environment is the team that designed it.

Built for the handover

We expect you to outgrow us. The day you want to build internal IT capability, we hand over the keys. Documentation, training, transfer of ownership, no offboarding fees. Capability over dependency, in practice.

SMB1001 is Australia’s SMB cybersecurity certification. By aligning each tier to a maturity level, you can demonstrate your security posture to clients, insurers, grant providers, and corporate customers without running a separate compliance project. The certification path is built into the managed service.

Yes. We offer full support for Windows, macOS, iOS, and iPadOS environments, managed via Intune, Apple Business Manager, or other MDM tools. We’re not a Microsoft-first shop with Apple as an afterthought.

That’s the plan. Most SMBs grow into wanting their own internal IT team. When you’re ready, we engineer the handover. We document your environment, train your incoming team, and transfer ownership cleanly. No offboarding fees, no exit penalty. From there, many clients keep us on for strategic consulting, architecture, or vCTO work.

Yes. Project work is scoped separately from your managed service tier. Microsoft 365 migrations, Azure landing zones, security uplift, custom builds, integrations. We can run full outsourced delivery or co-deliver with your internal team.

Yes. We support fully cloud-native and hybrid setups, including environments with on-prem Active Directory, file servers, or mixed endpoint platforms.

Standard managed-service support hours are Mon-Fri 9:00am-4:00pm AEST. Standard and above include 24/7 security operations centre coverage for security incidents. Critical-incident response and after-hours coverage for non-security incidents can be agreed in your service contract.
