FAQs
1. What We Do
What are your two primary services?
Managed IT and cybersecurity — flat monthly, truly unlimited. Cure Solutions delivers managed IT support and managed cybersecurity to Burlington, Iowa and Southeast Iowa businesses — one flat monthly fee, truly unlimited support, no

What business problems do you solve?

Do you support both Mac and Windows?
PC-focused. We support a few Macs but specialize in Windows. Cure Solutions specializes in Windows PC environments — the standard for most Iowa businesses. If your business has a couple of Macs in design or marketing, we can support them. We’re not Apple specialists, so if you’re a primarily-Mac shop you may want a different provider. For PC-centric businesses with Windows servers, desktops, laptops, and a few Macs mixed in, Cure Solutions is built for you.
2. How We Work
How are you different from other IT companies?
Hometown-owned in Fort Madison since 1997. Independent. Truly unlimited. Three ways. Cure Solutions is locally owned by Sam and Angie Boyer since 1997, and they live in Fort Madison, Iowa — the center of our service radius. You’ll never deal with a regional manager 100 miles away, an offshore help desk, or a different tech every week. Second, we target a 5-minute response on every call. Third, we’re truly unlimited — no nickel-and-diming for software or equipment someone else sold you. A major Iowa IT chain has been buying up local competitors. Cure Solutions isn’t doing that. We’re independent, hometown-owned, and accountable directly to you.
How do you maximize responsiveness?
5-minute response target, 24/7 oncall paging, proactive monitoring. Cure Solutions targets a 5-minute response on every call. We staff about 15 trained technicians at our Burlington office (the largest locally-owned IT team in Southeast Iowa), route the right tech to the right problem instantly through our ticketing system, and run a 24/7 oncall rotation. After-hours calls hit a voicemail that pages our on-duty technician
immediately. Proactive monitoring catches most outages before your team notices.
Do you charge extra to work on software or equipment somebody else provided?
Never. Truly unlimited covers everything on your network. Never. Cure Solutions is truly unlimited — no nickel-and-diming. Accounting software hiccup, printer down, phone system glitch, we handle it under your flat fee. The only line ever added is hardware you asked us to buy or a project approved in advance.
How do you handle after-hours and weekend emergencies?
24/7 voicemail-to-pager hits the on-duty tech immediately. True 24/7. After-hours calls hit a voicemail system that pages the on-duty Cure Solutions technician immediately. Proactive monitoring catches most outages — server down, internet circuit failure, backup failure — and pages us automatically, often before your team is aware. You sleep. We watch the network.
What's your average IT response time?
5-minute response target. Most issues resolved on first contact. Cure Solutions targets a 5-minute response on every call during business hours. Most issues fix on first contact. Onsite hardware is same-day or next-business-day. After-hours emergencies are picked up by the on-duty technician inside 15 minutes of paging.
