Recommended Technology Platform

At IT Protectorate, we work hard to maintain a “Recommended Technology Platform.” While you may find something that is on this list, be sure to check with us—we know your environment and want to make sure whatever it is you need is properly sized and equipped to meet your current AND future needs.

​Third Party Vendors

​While we pride ourselves on our troubleshooting skills and abilities to solve many different types of technical problems, please keep in mind that for 3rd party products outside our Recommended Platform, it may take us some extra time to familiarize ourselves with managing and supporting these products.

If the issues can and should be supported by the 3rd party vendor, then we may help you liaise with the vendor directly to get the problem solved in the most efficient and timely manner for you.

We may still be able to purchase items from other vendors at your request (depending on whether our distributors stock it), if any unforeseen issues arise in the setup, installation and ongoing use, we may need to invoice you separately for this time.

Put an end to being frustrated day after day because your Lakeland Computer Services company fails to take care of you.
