Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between an IT support engineer and a helpdesk technician?

An IT support engineer handles complex infrastructure tasks such as server optimization, network performance tuning, and system diagnostics. Helpdesk technicians typically manage Tier 1 support like password resets, software installs, and basic troubleshooting. CitySource Solutions provides certified engineers who work across Tier 2–4 to resolve deeper system issues and prevent recurring failures.

When should a business hire a strategic IT consultant?

A business should engage an IT consultant when facing infrastructure scaling challenges, compliance requirements, cloud migration, or rising support costs. Strategic IT consultants help align your technology with business goals, reduce risk, and build roadmaps for future growth. CitySource Solutions delivers vendor-neutral consulting focused on ROI and long-term stability.

What is a tech debt audit, and why does it matter?

A tech debt audit identifies outdated systems, misconfigured infrastructure, and redundant tools that create operational drag or security vulnerabilities. Without regular audits, businesses risk higher support costs, downtime, and compliance failures. CitySource Solutions offers structured tech debt assessments with flat-rate pricing and actionable insights.

How does CitySource Solutions handle compliance for HIPAA, PCI, or FINRA?

Our engineers assess your infrastructure against relevant regulatory frameworks and apply risk scoring, access controls, encryption, audit logging, and data retention best practices. We support documentation and staff training to ensure full compliance. CitySource specializes in regulated industries such as healthcare, legal, and finance.

Can CitySource work with our internal IT team?

Yes. We offer both fully managed and co-managed IT support models. Our engineers can augment your internal team for escalated support, project execution, or compliance strategy. This approach gives you access to deeper expertise without needing to expand internal headcount.

What does the IT assessment include, and is there any cost?

The expert IT assessment is offered at no cost and includes a review of infrastructure health, system performance, cybersecurity posture, licensing, and vendor alignment. You’ll receive a detailed report and strategic roadmap with no obligation to commit. It’s a valuable starting point for identifying risk and planning upgrades.
