Frontrow Technology

Managed Services

IT that runs. So you don't have to.

Proactive managed IT for multi-site and regional Australian operations. Essential Eight aligned. Microsoft-first. Co-managed if you have an internal IT lead, fully managed if you don't.

What's included

The work your IT function should quietly do.

A problem can run for hours across your devices, identities and cloud before anyone notices it started.

Frontrow watches endpoints, identities, cloud workloads and network around the clock, then triages and resolves before it spreads.

Most issues are caught and fixed before your team feels them.

You're told you're secure, but nobody can show which of the eight controls are actually on.

Frontrow runs patching, MFA, application control, admin privilege, backups and macro controls aligned to the Essential Eight.

A posture you can put in front of the board, not a guess.

Microsoft 365 sprawls across Teams, SharePoint, Exchange, Intune and licences nobody is steering.

Frontrow manages tenant health, licence governance and every M365 service as one surface.

One owned, governed environment instead of six loose ends.

New starters wait days for a working laptop and old devices linger on the network unpatched.

Frontrow runs Intune policies, app deployment, device lifecycle and zero-touch provisioning across every office.

A staff member is productive on day one, on any site.

A ransomware hit or a deleted mailbox shouldn't be the moment you discover your backups were never tested.

Frontrow backs up Microsoft 365 and your infrastructure and runs restore drills against a documented RTO and RPO.

When something goes wrong you're back in hours, with evidence your auditor accepts.

Every IT fault turns into you chasing the ISP, the printer company and the line-of-business vendor yourself.

Frontrow owns the vendor liaison so one call covers your ISP, hardware and app suppliers.

You make one call and the chasing stops being your job.

Why Frontrow

Four problems a generic MSP leaves on your desk.

A city help-desk runs your sites as if they were a CBD tower, then is surprised by remote sites, patchy links and FIFO rosters.

Frontrow runs IT across mining, logistics and regional operations from Brisbane to the NT, with a support model built for distance.

Support that already understands your sites, not one learning them on your time.

You have an internal IT lead who is buried, but a full outsource would push them out and lose what they know.

Frontrow co-manages around them, taking the out-of-hours, the specialist work and the Microsoft depth while they keep the day-to-day.

Your internal person is backed up, not replaced, and nothing falls between you.

The IT report you get is a ticket dump your executive team can't read, so risk stays invisible until it bites.

Frontrow sends a monthly report on Essential Eight posture, ticket trends, cost and risk in plain language.

A one-page view your CFO and board actually read and act on.

Every month the IT bill is a surprise, with project work quietly slipped in through the support line.

Frontrow fixes the scope, fixes the monthly price and the response times, and quotes project work separately up front.

A predictable number you can budget against, with no creep.

The guarantee

What Frontrow puts in writing.

A service-level agreement is just a promise you can hold Frontrow to. Here is the plain-English version: fixed monthly price, no surprise bills, and a response time it backs with its own fee.

  • A senior person on the first call

    Urgent issues get a senior consultant, not a junior reading a script. Frontrow does not bait-and-switch the people who answer the phone.

  • Same-business-day response

    Log a problem during business hours and Frontrow responds the same day — most urgent issues are in hand within the hour.

  • Miss the response time, you don't pay for it

    Frontrow puts agreed response times in writing. If it misses one on an urgent issue, that month's support fee is credited. The guarantee carries a cost, so it stays honest.

  • No lock-in

    Month-to-month after the first term. If Frontrow stops earning the relationship, you can leave — and it hands over cleanly, with documentation.

The numbers behind it

Response and resolution targets, by priority.

Every ticket gets a priority on the way in. Miss a target on an urgent issue and the service credit comes off that month's fee, up to the whole fee. The credit carries a real cost to Frontrow, so the target stays honest.

PriorityWhat it meansResponseTarget resolutionService credit
P1CriticalA site or core system is down, or a live security incident is in progress. Work stops.15 minutes4 business hours15% per missed P1
P2HighA team or key application is badly degraded, but a workaround exists. Work is slowed.1 business hour1 business day10% per missed P2
P3StandardA single user or a non-urgent request. The business keeps running.4 business hours3 business days5% per missed P3

Service credits are capped at 100% of the monthly support fee. Response and resolution times are measured in business hours against your agreed support window. Final targets are confirmed in your service schedule.

Honest pricing

Fixed monthly pricing, scoped to your team.

Frontrow prices managed IT as a fixed monthly fee on an agreed scope — no hourly surprises. What you pay depends on your size, your security needs and how many sites you run, so the honest answer is to ask for a quote. Here is exactly what the monthly fee does and does not cover before you do.

In the monthly fee

  • Monitoring and response across devices, identities and Microsoft 365
  • Unlimited support requests during business hours
  • Essential Eight aligned security, patching and backups
  • Microsoft 365 and licence management
  • Monthly board-ready report on security, tickets and cost
  • One point of contact for your other IT vendors

Quoted separately

  • Project work (migrations, new sites, rollouts) — quoted up front, never slipped in
  • Hardware, Microsoft licences and third-party software (passed through at cost)
  • After-hours and weekend call-outs beyond the agreed support window
  • Major incident recovery caused by systems Frontrow does not manage

No long-form RFP needed for a number. Ask for a quote and Frontrow will scope one to your team.

Local teams

Managed IT, run from a local office.

Frontrow keeps senior people on the ground in regional Queensland, not a city help-desk that has never visited the site. See the team nearest you.

Built for regional Australia

Regional reach, local accountability.

Frontrow runs IT for the businesses that keep regional Australia moving — from the mine sites of the Bowen Basin to the councils, clinics and transport yards that support them. Senior people, on the ground, not a city help-desk that has never visited.

  • Mining & resources
  • Agribusiness
  • Healthcare & aged care
  • Local government
  • Transport & logistics

  4. Frontrow runs it, and keeps it running
