01  Logan

Logan is a large, busy business region, and a large share of its small businesses want exactly the same thing from an IT provider: help when something is wrong, and nothing in between.

We cover the City of Logan from Indooroopilly with no travel fee and no distance surcharge, however far south the job is. Springwood is Logan’s commercial centre and a big part of our work there is small-business support offered the way small businesses tend to want it: no monthly agreement, no retainer and no minimum spend. You ring when something is wrong and pay for the time it takes.

02  Across the city

Where Logan’s businesses are

Logan’s commercial life is spread across several centres rather than one.

North

Offices and services

Springwood, Underwood, Slacks Creek and Loganholme carry accountancies, agents, tradie head offices and professional services. Typically a team of three to ten on Microsoft 365, a shared printer and a router that has done its time.

Meadowbrook

Clinics and allied health

Around Logan Hospital at Meadowbrook sit medical, allied health and community services. Client records, shared reception computers and the need to be able to prove who has access matter more here than anywhere else.

South

Retail, trades and distribution

Browns Plains and Beenleigh bring retail and service businesses, while Yatala and the southern industrial estates add transport, trades and distribution, where the office is small but one dead computer stops a dispatch.

03  Why no retainer

Why Logan businesses ask us for “no retainer”

Many owners here have already paid for an IT arrangement that did not get used: a monthly fee for “support” that turned out to mean a phone number and a queue. It is a reasonable thing to be wary of.

Our model is the plainer one. You call, we tell you what is going on and what it is likely to involve, and you pay for the work and nothing else. Our technicians are salaried employees, so nobody here earns more by finding extra work or by telling you to replace something that can be fixed.

04  Rule of thumb

When to stop paying per problem

If you find you are booking us more than roughly once a month, or the same problems keep coming back, PAYG is not saving you anything — a managed arrangement would. The same applies once you have several staff relying on shared systems, or a server whose failure would stop trading.

At that point we would introduce you to Defy IT, our managed IT partner, and explain why. Until then, the sensible choice is the one you started with.

05  Community and not-for-profit

Not-for-profits and community organisations

Logan has a strong community sector: neighbourhood centres, sporting clubs, support services and charities. Many run on a handful of ageing computers and one volunteer who “does the IT” and would rather not.

These organisations tend to need the same things as any small business — email on a proper domain, Microsoft 365 set up for how they work, a backup that does not live on one machine and a way for volunteers to leave without taking their access with them — on a budget where an hourly rate beats a monthly fee. That is exactly the arrangement we offer.

06  Growing Logan businesses

When the calls become regular

Springwood and the surrounding centres have many established businesses with five or more staff. If your team calls us most months, or you run shared systems you cannot afford to lose, managed IT through Defy IT is usually the better arrangement.

07  Questions

Common questions

None. You pay $168 an hour with a one-hour minimum on a job, and nothing in months you do not need us.

We can help with the technology side — computers, Microsoft 365, Wi-Fi, backups and account security. For practice software and its vendor we work alongside the supplier rather than replace them.

No. We work across the whole City of Logan — from Underwood and Loganholme through Meadowbrook and Beenleigh to Yatala and the southern estates — on the same $168 an hour, with no travel fee and no minimum monthly spend.

Yes. We move the files, email and settings onto the new machine and confirm everything works before the old one is retired.
