We handle migrations, network design, security, and multi-site work within the SMB-to-mid-market range. For very large, multi-region enterprise integration or transformation programs, Presidio's scale and specialized bench may be the right call, and we will say so honestly.
Why choose a local MSP over a national integrator?
Attentiveness sized to your business, a named local team that stays put, same-day on-site, a published SLA, and one accountable partner for both IT and security. It is a closer relationship than a large program structure usually allows.
Does Topping publish an SLA?
Yes. P1 gets a 15-minute response with an engineer within one hour, P2 30 minutes, P3 four business hours, and a service credit if we miss a committed response. Presidio service levels are defined per engagement, so compare the specific terms.

Yes. Recommendations follow your environment and budget, free of a manufacturer quota, and we stay accountable for running what we recommend.
What size company is Topping the right fit for?
Roughly 10 to 500 seats, SMB through mid-market. Large, multi-site enterprises running complex transformation programs are usually better served by a national integrator like Presidio.
