You're more exposed
than you think.

If your IT person left tomorrow, got sick, or simply wasn't available — how long before things started breaking?

Who would your team call? Who has the admin passwords? Who manages the vendors? Who knows what's backed up — and what isn't? Who owns each system when something goes wrong?

"For most Greater Milwaukee businesses, the honest answer is: nobody knows."

That's not just an IT problem. That's a business continuity and leadership liability problem. And it doesn't show up until the worst possible moment — a departure, an outage, a crisis. We've seen it happen to SE Wisconsin businesses of every size. By then, the cost is already running.


The IT Operations Continuity
Runbook Sprint

A 14-day, fixed-scope engagement that documents your entire IT environment — so your business is never one person away from chaos.

Here's exactly what you receive at the end of 14 days:

Critical Systems Inventory

Every system documented with owners, vendors, support contacts, and criticality ratings.

Ownership & Access Map

Who has admin access to what, where credentials live, MFA status, and escalation contacts.

Day-1 / Day-2 Operations Runbook

Step-by-step playbooks for the most common issues — outages, password resets, onboarding, vendor calls.

Incident Escalation Matrix

Who declares an incident, who leads comms, who calls the vendor — in what order, every time.

Vendor & Contact Registry

Every vendor, support number, account number, and contract renewal date in one place.

Backup/Restore Responsibility Map

Who monitors it, who runs it, when it was last tested. No more ambiguity during a recovery.

Executive Readout

A plain-English summary of what we found, what the risks are, and what needs attention — written for leadership, not IT auditors.

Co-Managed Partnership Roadmap Included

A prioritized 30–90 day action plan showing exactly where co-managed IT support would reduce risk, fill gaps, and free your internal team — if and when you're ready for it. No pressure, no obligation. Just a clear picture of what's next.

Sprint fee applied to onboarding — if you move forward.

If you choose to become a Centurion co-managed client after the sprint, the full sprint fee is credited toward your onboarding costs. The sprint pays for itself before your first monthly invoice. It's not a sales pitch — it's a guarantee that this engagement has tangible value either way.

Built for Greater Milwaukee &
SE Wisconsin businesses.

✓ This sprint is a fit if…

  • You're located in Greater Milwaukee or SE Wisconsin
  • You have 20–200 endpoints or workstations
  • You have an internal IT person or small team (1–3 people)
  • Leadership doesn't have full visibility into IT operations
  • You've had a close call — outage, departure, vendor issue — and it worried you
  • You want a practical runbook, not another report that sits on a shelf
  • You can assign a named IT champion and provide access for interviews

✗ This is NOT the right fit if…

  • You need emergency incident response right now
  • You want hands-on remediation included in the engagement
  • You're in manufacturing and need plant-floor/OT equipment covered
  • No internal IT stakeholder is available to participate
  • You're unwilling to define critical systems or provide vendor access

Questions we hear before every sprint.

"We already have an IT person — why do we need this?"

This sprint doesn't replace your IT person. It documents everything they know — so your business isn't entirely dependent on their continued presence. Most IT professionals appreciate it. It reduces the pressure to be available for everything, and it protects them too. It's the runbook your IT person never had time to write.

"$6,000–$8,500 feels like a lot for a 14-day project."

Consider the alternative. What does one week of downtime cost you? What does it cost to replace an IT person who leaves without documentation? What does a failed recovery cost when nobody knew what was backed up? The sprint is a fixed, known cost. The alternative is an unknown, unlimited one. Most clients tell us the engagement paid for itself in the first week they needed it.

"How is this different from a regular IT assessment?"

An assessment tells you what's wrong. This sprint produces something your team can actually use the day we leave — a runbook. It's operational documentation, not an audit report. Your IT team can follow it. Your backup person can follow it. Your new hire on day one can follow it. It's built for humans, not auditors.

"I don't know if I can trust an MSP I haven't worked with."

Fair. We've been based in Pewaukee and serving SE Wisconsin businesses since 1990. In an industry where most providers come and go in 5 years, longevity means something — and so does being local. We're not a national MSP routing your ticket through a call center. This sprint is a fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline — you know exactly what you're getting before we start, and you know exactly what to hold us to if we miss. The discovery call is 20 minutes and there's no obligation either way.
