Enterprise Managed Services & DevOps

Infrastructure that holds under load.

ALCO USA Inc runs the systems enterprise clients depend on — servers, networks, pipelines and the security controls around them. U.S.-based engineers, continuous monitoring, and operations you can audit.

Who we are

An enterprise managed services provider that operates with genuine engineering discipline.

Most managed IT is a help desk with monitoring attached as an afterthought. ALCO was built in the opposite order: an engineering organization, with a service desk positioned in front of it.

That distinction is the difference between a provider that closes your ticket and one that eliminates the reason it was opened. We automate the repeatable, instrument what remains, secure the whole environment, and hold ourselves accountable for the outcome by name.

About ALCO
What we do

A complete managed services portfolio

Thirteen services spanning managed IT, cloud, cybersecurity, unified communications and software development — each scoped to stand on its own. Engage a single capability or the entire portfolio; no service is contingent on another.

Managed IT Solutions

Your infrastructure, monitored and maintained as a system rather than a collection of devices.

Why ALCO

What distinguishes ALCO from your current provider

Senior engineers, not tiers

You reach the engineer who can resolve the issue — no scripts, no offshore first line, and no ticket closed for inactivity. Median first response is measured in minutes, not days.

Everything is instrumented

If we manage it, we monitor it. Incidents raise a ticket automatically and surface on your portal before you have reason to call us.

Automation over billable hours

Repeatable work is automated as a matter of principle. We would rather invoice you for engineering than for the same manual task performed repeatedly — a better outcome for you, and the standard we hold ourselves to.

Transparent operations

Flat, predictable pricing, a client portal that surfaces every ticket and invoice, and a documented record of every change we make to your environment.

Security is not a line item

Every engagement is hardened, monitored and evidenced as standard. Our clients in healthcare, government and financial services set that bar; every other client receives the same controls at no additional cost.

We own our platform

Our monitoring, ticketing and client portal are built and operated by us, not resold from a third party. When something needs to change, we change it directly.

Industries

Where the requirements are non-negotiable

Regulated, uptime-critical, or both — these are the environments in which the distinction between a vendor and a genuine partner becomes unmistakable.

Professional Services

Firms where an hour of downtime is an hour nobody can bill. Predictable cost, fast response, and technology decisions that survive growth.

Learn more

Healthcare & Medical

HIPAA-aligned controls, protected health information handled correctly, and infrastructure that stays available during clinic hours.

Learn more

Commercial & Retail

Point of sale, stock systems and multi-site networking. PCI DSS obligations met without turning the store into a security project.

Learn more

Government & Defense

CMMC and NIST-aligned practice, documented change control, and the evidence trail a contracting officer will ask for.

Learn more

Media & Publishing

High-traffic publishing platforms, editorial workflow, and the hosting to survive a story going wide without warning.

Learn more

Manufacturing & Industrial

Plant-floor networks, OT and IT that have to coexist safely, and support that understands a line stopping costs more than a desk.

Controls and compliance

Built to standards our regulated clients are audited against

Healthcare, government and financial clients set the bar for how we operate. Every client gets the same controls, whether their sector requires it or not.

HIPAA aligned Protected health information handled, logged and encrypted to the Security Rule.
CMMC practice Documented change control and evidence trails for defense-adjacent work.
SOC 2 controls Access control, monitoring and change management mapped to the Trust Services Criteria.
PCI DSS scope Cardholder environments segmented, hardened and kept out of general infrastructure.
NIST CSF Identify, protect, detect, respond and recover — used as our assessment framework.
Encrypted throughout TLS everywhere, AES-256 at rest, credentials sealed and every reveal audited.

These are the frameworks we operate against and can evidence for your auditor. Where a client requires a formal attestation report, we support their assessment rather than claim one of our own.

Common questions

How do I raise a support request?
Email Team@alcousa.org, call the number at the top of this page, or send the form on our contact page. All three land in the same queue and are worked by the same engineers — there is no faster route, so use whichever suits you.
What does a managed agreement actually cover?
Monitoring, patching, help desk, backup verification, identity administration, security controls and documented change management across the estate we agree in the scope. Anything outside that scope is quoted before it is done, never after.
Do you work with organizations outside the United States?
Yes. We hold contracts in North America, Europe and the Middle East, and this site is published in five languages for that reason. Our engineers are U.S.-based; work is delivered remotely with hours arranged around your timezone.
How quickly will someone respond?
Response targets are written into your agreement and reported against honestly, including when we miss them. Critical issues are picked up continuously, day or night. Routine requests are answered within the business day and usually within the hour.
Do you take on every client who approaches you?
No. We qualify before we quote: a scoping conversation about your estate, your obligations and what you actually need. If the work is outside what we are good at, or the expectations are not ones we can meet, we say so and point you elsewhere. Taking work we cannot do well costs us more than turning it down.
What happens to our documentation and credentials if we leave?
They are yours, and you receive them in full, without a fee and without delay. A provider that makes departure difficult reveals a great deal about how it intends to retain you.
