Managed IT Services

Technology that keeps your business — and your community — up and running.

Next Phase Technology is a Missouri-based managed IT partner for small businesses, dental practices, and 911 dispatch centers. Flat-rate support, serious security, and a help desk that answers.

What we do

One flat monthly rate. Every layer of your IT, handled.

No surprise invoices, no finger-pointing between vendors. We become your IT department — or an extension of the one you have.

Managed IT Support

Unlimited help desk, proactive maintenance, patching, and on-site support when remote won't cut it.

Cybersecurity

Managed detection & response, email filtering, MFA, and security awareness training for your team.

Cloud & Microsoft 365

Migrations, licensing, and day-to-day management of Microsoft 365, Azure, and cloud file systems.

Compliance & Consulting

HIPAA, CJIS, and cyber-insurance readiness — documentation, policies, and audits without the panic.

Client voices

Trusted where it counts.

"They migrated our whole office to the cloud over a weekend. Monday morning, nobody missed a beat. That's the first time an IT change didn't cost us a day of production."

Office ManagerDental practice, Franklin County

"Our dispatch consoles can't go down, period. Next Phase built us redundancy we didn't know we were missing and they answer at 3 a.m. like it's 3 p.m."

Communications DirectorCounty PSAP

"Flat rate, fast answers, and a quarterly plan I can actually take to my partners. Best business decision we made last year."

Industries

Specialized IT for three worlds we know inside and out.

Every environment we support gets our full stack — but each of these industries gets a practice built around its software, regulations, and stakes.

Small Business

Enterprise-grade IT, small-business sized.

Most 5–100 person companies can't justify a full IT department — but they suffer every bit as much when email dies or ransomware hits. We give you the department without the payroll.

  • Flat-rate plans that scale with headcount, not surprises
  • Line-of-business software support (QuickBooks, ERPs, CRMs)
  • Hardware lifecycle planning and procurement at our pricing
  • Cyber-insurance questionnaire and audit support
  • New-hire and offboarding workflows handled same-day

Common wins in the first 90 days

WIN

MFA and email security deployed company-wide — the #1 breach vector closed.

WIN

Verified backups with a tested restore, often for the first time ever.

WIN

A 12-month technology budget your CPA will actually like.

Software & systems we support daily

  • Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve
  • Dexis, Schick, Apteryx, and sensor/imaging hardware
  • Pano and CBCT integrations
  • Patient communication & scheduling platforms
  • Secure PHI backup with HIPAA-grade encryption
Dental Practices

Keep every operatory producing.

When a sensor won't capture or the practice management server stalls, chairs sit empty and production stops. Our dental clients get technicians who already know their software — no "have you tried rebooting" while a patient waits.

  • HIPAA security risk assessments & documentation
  • Fast morning-of support before your first patient
  • Imaging, X-ray, and operatory workstation expertise
  • Practice acquisitions & new-office buildouts
PSAPs & Public Safety

Mission-critical support for 911 centers.

A PSAP can't schedule downtime and can't tolerate slow answers. We support dispatch centers with the redundancy, documentation, and after-hours responsiveness that public safety demands — and the CJIS-aware practices your audits require.

  • CAD, dispatch console, and logging recorder support
  • Redundant network and power design for zero single points of failure
  • NG911 readiness planning and carrier coordination
  • CJIS security policy alignment and personnel screening
  • Guaranteed emergency response SLAs, 24/7/365

Not sure where your environment stands?

Our free assessment is tailored to your industry — HIPAA-focused for dental, CJIS- and redundancy-focused for PSAPs.

About Us

A Missouri IT company built on answered phones and kept promises.

Next Phase Technology exists because too many businesses were stuck between big impersonal providers and the one-person shop that disappears on vacation.

Our story

The next phase of how IT support should work.

We started Next Phase after years inside the managed services industry, watching the same pattern: providers sell "proactive support," then vanish into ticket queues. We decided to build the company we'd want to hire.

That means a live local help desk, technicians who document everything so you're never held hostage to tribal knowledge, and honest quarterly reviews where we tell you what to spend on — and what not to.

Today we support small businesses, dental practices, and 911 dispatch centers across the St. Louis metro and surrounding counties, and we still answer the phone.

Our values

How we work.

Answer fast, fix faster

Response time is a promise, not a marketing line. We publish ours to every client, every month.

You own your IT

Your passwords, documentation, and licenses belong to you. We never hold an environment hostage.

Say the hard thing

If a purchase is unnecessary, we'll tell you. If a risk is serious, we'll tell you that too — in plain English.

Prepared, not lucky

Tested backups, documented recovery plans, and redundancy designed before the bad day, not after.

Local & accountable

We live where you work. When on-site matters, we're minutes away — not a plane ride.

Earn the renewal

No multi-year contract traps. We keep clients by being worth keeping.

Careers

Technicians who like people, apply here.

We hire for curiosity and communication first. If you can explain a firewall to a dentist and stay calm at 2 a.m. with a dispatch center on the line, we'd like to meet you. Send a resume to careers@nextphasetechnology.com.

No cost, no obligation, no sales pitch disguised as a report. You keep the findings either way.

What the assessment covers

  • Security posture — endpoint protection, MFA coverage, email security, and exposed vulnerabilities
  • Backup & recovery — are backups running, verified, and actually restorable?
  • Network health — performance bottlenecks, aging hardware, Wi-Fi coverage, single points of failure
  • Compliance gaps — HIPAA for dental practices, CJIS considerations for PSAPs, cyber-insurance readiness
  • Cost review — licensing waste, overlapping tools, and carrier bills worth renegotiating

What you get

01

Plain-English report

Fix-first list

The 3–5 items to address immediately, whether you hire us or handle them in-house.
