Case Studies
LCMC Health: Consolidating Help Desk Across a Multi-Hospital System
After a series of acquisitions, each hospital in the LCMC Health system ran its own IT department, creating an expensive and inconsistent support model. Sparkhound consolidated help desk services across the system, reducing help desk and IT operating costs by 27.4%.

What Are IT Infrastructure Services?
IT infrastructure services cover the design, operation, and support of the systems that keep a business running. They can include networks, cloud environments, endpoints, servers, monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, and end-user support.
What Is IT Infrastructure Management?
IT infrastructure management is the ongoing work of monitoring, maintaining, securing, patching, and supporting business technology. It includes keeping networks, cloud environments, endpoints, backups, and recovery processes working as expected.
What Is the Difference Between Managed IT and Break-Fix IT Support?
Managed IT is an ongoing, proactive service model with monitoring, patching, maintenance, and defined response targets. Break-fix IT support starts after something fails and is usually billed by the incident.
What Recovery Commitments Should a Managed IT Provider Put in Writing?
A managed IT provider should document recovery time objectives, recovery point objectives, the incident response process, backup and replication methods, and how recovery workflows are tested. Those commitments should be reviewed when systems or business requirements change.
Can IT Infrastructure Services Support Cloud-Based Infrastructure?
Yes. IT infrastructure services can support cloud-based infrastructure, including cloud monitoring, identity, backup, security, cost management, and disaster recovery. Cloud migration services cover the move itself, while managed cloud services cover ongoing cloud operations.
What Is Included in IT Infrastructure Services Compared With a Standalone Help Desk Contract?
IT infrastructure services cover the broader environment, including networks, endpoints, cloud systems, monitoring, patching, backup, recovery, and help desk support. A standalone help desk contract focuses on end-user ticket intake, troubleshooting, and escalation.
How Much Does Managed IT Infrastructure Cost for a Mid-Market Company?
Managed IT infrastructure costs depend on users, locations, systems, cloud requirements, security needs, coverage hours, and the services included. Most agreements use a recurring monthly fee, while migrations, hardware, licensing, and major projects are typically scoped separately.
What Should I Ask an IT Infrastructure Provider Before Signing a Contract?
Ask what systems are covered, what recovery commitments are guaranteed, how incident response works, how often recovery plans are tested, who provides on-site support, and what work falls outside the monthly scope.
