Get Started From the People We love hearing from our customers! You’re the reason we’re here and the reason we do what we do. “We just recently brought on Brightworks Group as our IT consultant and partner. They are always timely, professional, positive, and willing to do the work to come up with a solution to any of your IT problems.” Mary Ladd “I love working with Brightworks. Their responsiveness, knowledge, and commitment to their customers are an asset for any business, and I wholeheartedly recommend working with them.” Bee Mac. “The BWG team is helpful at a moment’s notice when needed. In this time where technology is one of the most crucial parts of any business, especially with remote working requirements, it’s important to have a support crew that can get you through issues that may arise. BWG has been a trusted partner for many years, and we are glad they are on board.” Adam Owens “After working with Doug Miller and his team at BWG for a number of years, putting out fires and keeping the trains running on time, we asked Doug if there was a better way. At that time, early 2019, Doug was exploring cloud-based solutions for engineering firms that he thought might just solve many of our issues for a price we could afford. As it turns out, it was a timely discussion. Over the course of the rest of 2019, we were introduced to Doug’s business partners at Avatara. Long story short, we made the switch from an on-premises IT solution to a cloud-based solution in early December 2019. This involved moving terabytes of data, all of our software, new laptops for access to virtual workstations in the cloud, and upgrades of our switches, routers, and access points in our half-dozen offices. We made the switch over a weekend and then worked with both BWG and Avatara over the course of the next three months, customizing our new system. That wasn’t easy, but we were changing just about everything related to IT, and everyone pulled in the same direction. And the absolute dumb luck good news was that we were ready when the pandemic hit us all hard in mid-March. And by ready, I mean our employees were able to work from home using their internet connections and perform CADD virtually without missing a beat! My thanks go to Doug, who had the foresight to propose such a solution, his team at BWG, our internal team working alongside BWG, as well as our new partners at Avatara. Well done to all.” Tom Mahon President, Schneider Geomatics. “My experience with IT consulting/support providers has historically been characterized by unpredictable fees, high turnover in the technicians that provide support, and a general lack of understanding of our business and its culture using technology. The Brightworks business model is clearly different from other IT service providers, and they claimed to solve those common issues in their pitch to us. Since I began working with them several years ago, I can confidently say they have executed on that business model and provided a high level of service with a consistent team of individuals who have also spent time getting to know our business and how we use technology. Doug and his team are not only highly experienced and clearly understand the latest technology that supports our business, but are also personable and effective in translating technical jargon into concepts a non-technical business user can understand. I would highly recommend Brightworks to any company looking for a partner they can trust to manage their information technology.” Dan Rodgers “We had lost faith in IT companies as a whole, but finding ourselves in the position to find another one, we received a recommendation to contact Brightworks. Brightworks comes to the table with this new concept that really helped us think about how we use technology in new ways. We enjoy working with Brightworks because they care about our success as a whole, not just the IT piece.” Teresa Simpson RL Turner Corporation. “After having many experiences with various IT firms, we have been lucky to find a partner like Brightworks to enhance our team. They are very quick to respond to any IT need we have – big or small – and do so willingly and enthusiastically at any time of day. But most importantly, they have been a trusted leader when it comes to understanding how technology can best support our growth. They are an absolute pleasure to do business with. Our organization could not operate as efficiently or effectively without the support of everyone at Brightworks, and we are grateful for their partnership! ” Pam Francis Schott Design. “Brightworks consistently delivers a high level of technical expertise and customer service, so we can focus on our core business. Brightworks is committed to efficiently resolving IT incidents, but more importantly, they help us eliminate the root cause.” Ed Balda Teays River Investments, LLC. “I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the comprehensive and thorough service provided by Brightworks Group. From providing high-level strategic guidance to providing day-to-day support to my team, Brightworks excels at proactively crafting and implementing solutions that keep us focused on our business, and not IT issues. My vCIO, account manager, on-site technicians, and help desk experts all take the time to clearly explain the risks and benefits of each decision. I look forward to continuing to grow with Brightworks Group.” Greg Fulk COO, Valeo Lorem Ipsum Downloadable Guide Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt FacebookThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Email(Required) Frequently Asked Questions What Does a Managed IT Provider Do for Healthcare Organizations? Brightworks Group delivers managed IT services for healthcare organizations as a dedicated external IT department, handling day-to-day support, network monitoring, device management, and strategic technology planning. Rather than reacting to problems after they occur, a qualified managed service provider (MSP) maintains your environment proactively so clinical staff can stay focused on patient care. For healthcare organizations specifically, this means HIPAA-compliant infrastructure design, EHR support and management, cybersecurity monitoring, and backup and disaster recovery. Brightworks provides end-to-end IT management built for clinical environments, from help desk responsiveness to compliance readiness. Why Is Cybersecurity Such a High Priority for Healthcare IT? Healthcare is one of the most targeted industries for cyberattacks: according to the Sophos State of Ransomware in Healthcare 2024 report, 67% of healthcare organizations were hit by ransomware that year, nearly double the rate reported in 2021. IBM’s 2024 Cost of a Data Breach report found that healthcare cybersecurity services failures carry the highest average breach cost of any sector, at $9.77 million per incident. Medical records carry significant black-market value, and legacy systems common in clinical environments create known vulnerabilities that attackers exploit directly. A single incident can halt billing, disable EHR access, and trigger mandatory HIPAA breach notification, creating cascading operational and financial damage across the organization. Proactive managed cybersecurity addresses these risks before they become incidents. How Do Managed IT Services Help With HIPAA Compliance? A qualified MSP providing HIPAA-compliant IT support signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and manages all systems that touch electronic protected health information (ePHI). Services include annual risk assessments, access controls, data encryption, audit logging, and incident response planning aligned to the HIPAA Security Rule and HITECH Act requirements. Brightworks supports healthcare clients in staying audit-ready through layered compliance strategies, meaning your organization maintains a strong healthcare IT compliance posture between formal audits rather than scrambling to prepare for them. Ongoing monitoring and documented controls give administrators confidence that the environment reflects current regulatory requirements. What Should Healthcare Organizations Look for in a Managed IT Partner? The most important criteria for selecting outsourced IT for medical practices are demonstrated experience with healthcare-specific systems, willingness to sign a BAA and conduct a formal risk assessment during onboarding, and defined escalation paths for issues affecting patient care systems. A provider that understands your regulatory environment and clinical workflows is the meaningful differentiator. Brightworks Group brings deep expertise across IT services, cybersecurity, and compliance, combined with a people-first approach and a 92% customer retention rate that reflects consistent service quality, not just strong onboarding performance. How Much Do Managed IT Services for Healthcare Typically Cost? Pricing for managed IT services is most commonly structured as a per-user or per-endpoint monthly fee, which gives healthcare organizations the budget predictability that hourly or break-fix models do not. For practices with 20 to 500 employees, outsourced managed IT typically costs a fraction of maintaining an equivalent in-house team with comparable depth across help desk, security operations, and compliance. Total cost comparisons should account for the financial exposure a breach carries: the average healthcare data breach costs nearly $10 million in recovery, regulatory response, and operational disruption. Brightworks provides a consultation to assess your environment and present a clear, scoped proposal with no ambiguity about what is and is not included. Can an MSP Support Multi-Location Healthcare Practices and Telehealth Infrastructure? Yes. Managed IT services are purpose-built for multi-site environments because monitoring, patching, and support are delivered remotely and centrally managed, without requiring dedicated on-site technicians at every location. Telehealth infrastructure requires secure remote access, HIPAA-compliant video and data platforms, and consistent uptime across all provider locations. Brightworks supports scalable IT infrastructure for virtual care models and multi-location medical groups, including remote access solutions for distributed clinical teams. As your organization adds sites or expands telehealth capacity, the managed services model scales with you rather than requiring a proportional increase in internal IT headcount. What Makes a Midwest-Based IT Provider a Strong Choice for Healthcare Organizations in the Region? Midwest-based MSPs offer responsive on-site support, regional accountability, and a client-service culture that large national providers often cannot match at scale. When clinical systems go down and remote troubleshooting is not sufficient, proximity translates directly into faster resolution and less disruption to patient care. Brightworks Group combines the depth of expertise found at national firms with the responsiveness and relationship-driven approach that Midwest healthcare organizations value. With a 92% customer retention rate, a dedicated team structure, and an average ticket resolution time of 3.1 hours, Brightworks delivers the kind of consistent, accountable service that regional healthcare practices depend on.
