IT Support That Actually Solves The Problem
Done With Waiting. Done With Wondering.
You’ve been there. An employee can’t log in. The network is crawling. A critical application is down. You call your IT guy — and it goes to voicemail. Or he shows up two days later, fixes the symptom, hands you an invoice you didn’t expect, and the same problem comes back three weeks later.
That’s break-fix IT. And for small and mid-sized businesses across West Michigan, it’s not just frustrating — it’s quietly costing you every single day.
Every hour your team can’t work is lost productivity. Every unresolved ticket is a frustrated employee. Every surprise invoice is a budgeting headache. And every time your IT provider doesn’t pick up, your confidence in your technology drops a little more.
Real IT Support doesn’t work that way.
What IT Support From Real IT Looks Like
Unlimited. Responsive. On Your Side.
IT support from Real IT Solutions is included as part of your RealCare™ managed IT plan — which means it’s not metered, not billed by the hour, and not something your team will hesitate to use. When something isn’t working, they call. We answer. We fix it.
Remote Support
Most Issues Resolved In Minutes.
The majority of day-to-day IT issues don’t require anyone to drive to your office. Our technicians use secure remote access tools to connect directly to your systems, diagnose the problem, and resolve it — often while you’re still on the phone with us. No waiting for a technician to show up. No scheduling a visit for next week. Just fast, efficient support that gets your team back to work.
- Immediate assistance via phone or secure remote desktop connection
- Troubleshooting for software errors, connectivity issues, and application problems
- Microsoft 365 support — email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and more
- User account issues — password resets, access problems, permissions
- Hardware and software configuration support
- Network troubleshooting for connectivity and performance issues
On-Site Support
Hands-On When You Need It.
Some problems need a technician in the room. When remote access isn’t enough — a hardware failure, a complex network issue, a new workstation setup, or anything that requires hands-on attention — our team comes to you. We serve businesses throughout Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Wyoming, and the greater Kent County area, and we treat your location like it matters, because it does.
- On-site diagnosis and repair for hardware failures and physical infrastructure issues
- Workstation and device setup, configuration, and deployment
- Network equipment installation, troubleshooting, and replacement
- Personalized, hands-on assistance tailored to your specific environment
- Serving Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Wyoming, and greater Kent County
After-Hours Support
We Don’t Clock Out At Five.
IT problems don’t wait for business hours. A critical system going down at 7pm on a Tuesday is just as damaging as one going down at 10am on a Monday. Our support team is available around the clock — nights, weekends, and holidays — so that when something urgent happens outside of normal business hours, you’re not on your own.
- 24×7 availability for urgent and critical IT issues
- Consistent support quality regardless of time of day
- The same certified technicians who know your environment
- US-based support — no overseas call centers
Service Automation & Smart Forms
Submit a Ticket. We Handle The Rest.
Not every IT request needs a phone call. Our smart forms give your team a structured, easy-to-use way to submit common IT requests online — new user setups, software installs, access requests, and more. Submitted forms automatically generate service tickets and trigger the right workflows, so routine tasks get handled efficiently without anyone having to chase them down.
- Customizable online forms for common IT requests
- Automatic ticket creation — no manual follow-up required
- Automated workflows for routine and repeatable tasks
- Faster turnaround on standard requests
How IT Support Works Day-To-Day
Simple For Your Team. Seamless For Your Business.
One of the first questions we hear from new clients is: how does my team actually get help? The answer is simple — they call, email, or submit a ticket. A real person responds. The problem gets fixed.
Behind the scenes, here’s how it works:
| Step | What Happens | Who Handles It |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Contact | Your employee calls, emails, or submits a smart form | Your team |
| 2. Response | A real technician acknowledges the issue and begins triage | Tier 1 Help Desk |
| 3. Resolution | Issue resolved remotely in most cases — or escalated if needed | Tier 1 / Tier 2 |
| 4. Escalation | Complex issues escalated to senior engineers with full context | Tier 2 / Tier 3 |
| 5. On-Site | Technician dispatched if the issue requires physical presence | Field Technician |
| 6. Follow-Up | Ticket closed, resolution documented, patterns flagged for proactive action | Real IT Team |
Every ticket is documented. Every escalation carries full context — the engineer picking up your issue already knows your environment, your history, and what’s been tried. Your team never has to explain the same problem twice.
Expert Support, Anytime You Need It.
Real People. Not Bots. Not Voicemail.
The Human Difference In IT Support.
A lot of IT companies talk about great support. What that often means in practice is a ticketing portal, an offshore call center, and a response time measured in business days.
At Real IT Solutions, when you call, a certified technician answers. Not an automated system. Not a call screener who will “pass your message along.” A real person who knows what they’re doing and genuinely wants to solve your problem.
That’s not a small thing. When an employee can’t work, every minute of waiting is a minute of lost productivity. Having someone who picks up, speaks clearly, and fixes the issue fast — that’s what IT support is supposed to feel like.
Our team is US-based, certified, and held to a standard we call the REAL IT approach:
R emember to have fun
E xtraordinary customer service
A lways do what is right
L earn, learn, learn
I mpeccable quality of work
T eamwork for the win
And if we ever fall short — for any reason — our guarantee is unconditional. Contact us within 72 hours and we’ll make it right, or refund 100% of what you paid for that service. No fine print. No wiggle-room clauses. Thrilled Today or You Don’t Pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
No Jargon. Just Answers.
Q: What does IT support from Real IT Solutions include?
A: IT support is included as part of your RealCare™ managed IT plan and covers unlimited remote support, on-site support, and after-hours support for your entire team. There is no per-incident billing and no hourly charges — your team contacts us whenever they need help and we take care of it. Support covers user issues, hardware, software, email, connectivity, and any day-to-day technology problem that affects productivity.
Q: What if I’m not satisfied with the support I receive?
A: Contact us within 72 hours of any unsatisfactory service and we’ll work to make it right — at no additional charge. If we still can’t resolve it to your complete satisfaction, we’ll refund 100% of what you paid for that service. We call it “Thrilled Today or You Don’t Pay” and we mean it. No fine print. No exceptions.
Q: How fast do you respond to IT support requests?
A: Response times are governed by your service agreement and the severity of the issue. Critical issues that stop your business from operating receive immediate priority response. For standard issues, we acknowledge and begin work as quickly as possible. Our goal on every ticket is first call resolution — solving the problem during the initial contact — and our mean time to resolution consistently outperforms the industry average. If you’d like specific SLA details, we’re happy to walk through them during your free IT assessment.
Q: Is IT support billed per incident or included in a flat fee?
A: IT support is included in your flat monthly RealCare™ fee — it is not billed per incident or per hour. Your team can contact us as many times as they need to without worrying about running up a bill. Predictable costs and unlimited access to support are two of the most common reasons West Michigan businesses switch to Real IT from a break-fix provider.
Q: How do my employees contact IT support?
A: Your team can reach us by phone, email, or through our smart form ticketing system. Most clients call for urgent issues and use the ticketing system for standard requests like new user setups, software installs, or access changes. Whichever method they use, a real technician responds — not an automated system or a bot.
Q: Do you provide on-site IT support in Grand Rapids?
A: Yes. When a problem requires hands-on attention, our field technicians come to you. We serve businesses throughout Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Wyoming, and greater Kent County, Michigan. On-site support is included in your RealCare™ plan — there’s no additional trip charge for clients on a managed agreement.
