Practical protection against ransomware, phishing and account takeover, sized for a small or mid-sized business.
Microsoft 365
Email, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive set up properly, migrated without lost mail, and supported day to day.
Nextcloud
Private file sharing, document editing, chat and calendars on a cloud you control, hosted by us or on your own server.
Co-Managed IT Services
Support for your in-house IT person or team: extra hands, specialist skills, tools and after-hours cover.
Infrastructure Projects
Networks, servers, Wi-Fi, office moves and cloud migrations, planned and delivered by people who've done them for decades.
OpenStack Consulting
Design, deployment, upgrades and managed operations for OpenStack private clouds, from engineers who know it inside out.
Website Design
Custom, hand-coded websites that load fast, work on any phone and bring in calls, hosted and looked after by us.
How we get started
Switching IT providers sounds disruptive. Here's what actually happens.
Talk
A short call about how your business runs, what's frustrating and what you're worried about.
Assess
We review your network, devices, backups and security, and tell you plainly what we find.
Onboard
We document everything, install monitoring and fix urgent gaps, without stopping your team's work.
Support
Your staff call us for anything IT. We keep systems patched and plan ahead with you.

Local, and in it for the long haul
Jonathan McDonagh started McDonagh Brothers in 1987, helping a small Eden Prairie company called Rollerblade grow from 16 employees to 200. His brother Jim joined in 1992.
We've changed with the technology, from networks and websites to cloud and security, but not with how we work. You get people who answer the phone, know your setup and stick around.
