What proactive IT is worth to your team
Slide to your headcount and set what an hour of your team's time is worth. We estimate the productivity your business recovers each month with proactive managed IT.
Estimate only. Based on Pennsylvania average wages (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2025), typical managed IT pricing of about $125 per user each month, and a conservative recovery of roughly 1.5 hours per employee each week from faster support and less unplanned downtime. Your actual results depend on your environment, current tools, and how your team works.

Common questions.
What does KawaConnect do?
We are an IT company. We run day-to-day managed IT for businesses, and we build and maintain the systems behind it: Proxmox and Ceph servers, Linux and Kubernetes, Microsoft 365, networks and firewalls, security cameras and phone systems. We also build software and websites.
What areas do you serve?
We work on site, by appointment, in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania and in the Cleveland area and Northeast Ohio. Our offices are in Coraopolis and Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Remote support is available across the United States. The service areas page lists the towns we cover.
Do you work with small teams?
Yes. We support businesses from five-person offices up to multi-location operations. Agreements scale with your headcount, and there is no minimum seat count.
How fast do you respond?
We respond ASAP, and always within one business day. For an emergency, call (412) 556-7007 to reach a technician.
Do you take one-off projects, or only ongoing support?
Both. Some clients hire us for a defined project, such as a server migration, a new network or a camera system. Others have us run their IT day to day. Many start with a project and stay on for support.
Can you take over from our current IT provider?
Yes. The handoff covers an audit, a documentation review, credential transfer, and a week of running in parallel with your old provider so nothing is missed.
Do you require a long contract?
No. A service agreement sets out response times, your named engineers, and the work we plan to do. It is scoped to your environment and scales with your headcount, with no lock-in.
Can we buy Microsoft 365 licenses through you?
Yes. KawaConnect is an official Microsoft reseller. Your licenses and your IT support come on one invoice, and we add, remove and change licenses as staff join and leave.
Do you work with cannabis businesses?
Yes. We support dispensaries, cultivators and processors, and we are a licensed Metrc integrator. Our cannabis IT work covers Dutchie, Metrc and MJ Platform on the IT side, plus the networks, cameras and label printing a licensed site depends on.
