Overview

IT for a town of small offices

Arlington is a town of small businesses, and most of them sit along Massachusetts Avenue, which carries on through town from the Cambridge side toward Lexington. Shops, restaurants, and professional offices share the street with a long list of consultants. Few have more than a handful of desks, and almost none has anyone whose job is IT.

Some of the businesses here never rent an office at all. A designer or sole practitioner working from a spare room still holds client files, still signs in to Microsoft 365, and still needs a laptop that is patched and a home network that was set up on purpose. We treat a home office as a real office: managed devices, multi-factor sign-in, protected email, and backups that someone has tested.

Our clients are mostly teams of 5 to 100 people who have never had a dedicated IT person, and the smallest ones in Arlington get the same service as the largest. Prevvi is headquartered in Cambridge, which borders the town, so on-site help comes from next door. Every engagement includes 24/7 monitoring, patching, a helpdesk, and built-in security.

What's included

What we do for Arlington businesses

Home Office Security

Managed laptops, multi-factor sign-in, and protected email for consultants and sole practitioners working from a spare room.

Helpdesk for Small Offices

Fast answers for a shop owner or a two-person office when the printer, card reader, or email stops working mid-day.

Microsoft 365, Set Up Once

Accounts, email, shared files, and backups configured properly from day one, so a tiny office starts with the foundation a larger one has.

Around Arlington

Massachusetts Avenue runs through East Arlington, the part of town east of Franklin Street, toward the Cambridge and Somerville lines. Farther along, Arlington Center holds Town Hall and the Robbins Library, and the shops and offices around them depend on the same few basics: Wi-Fi that works, a card reader that connects, and email that arrives.

Arlington Heights is a name used loosely for all the neighborhoods west of the Center, and the avenue carries on from there toward Lexington. Practices and small firms in older buildings often grew up around one network and a closet of aging equipment, so the first job is usually to find out what is plugged in.

Spy Pond, with Spy Pond Park on its northeastern shore, and the Minuteman Bikeway through the middle of town are part of daily life here. The bikeway leads to the Alewife Red Line station in Cambridge, a route many staff use to commute. Anyone who splits the week between a desk, a train, and a kitchen table needs a laptop that stays protected on any network.

FAQ

IT support in Arlington: common questions

Yes. Arlington borders Cambridge, where our headquarters is, so an engineer can reach Massachusetts Avenue, the Center, or the Heights without a long trip. Most fixes happen remotely within minutes, and we visit for installs, network work, and anything else that needs hands.

Mostly small businesses and independent professionals: shops and restaurants, law and professional services firms, real estate offices, financial advisers, and consultants of every kind, life sciences included.

Our median response is 15 minutes, and every ticket carries a written response target. A shop that cannot take cards or an office that cannot sign in is handled first, and routine requests follow in order.

It depends on the number of people and devices we look after, so we start with a free assessment and quote from what we find. A small office is quoted for what it actually has, not for a larger team’s needs.

Yes. A home office gets managed devices, multi-factor sign-in, email protection, backups, and the helpdesk, the same baseline a larger company receives. We also advise on keeping work apart from the family network, and an engineer can visit when remote help is not enough.

Less than people expect: accounts and email in Microsoft 365, managed laptops, multi-factor sign-in, Wi-Fi configured on purpose, and a backup restored at least once as a test. We build it, document it, and stay on as the helpdesk.
