Managed IT and cybersecurity for a Texas business means one provider handling day-to-day IT operations and the security controls around them, under a single agreement.

Your EHR vendor owns the application: software defects, database corruption on their hosted platform, failed upgrades. Your IT provider owns everything it runs on, workstations, peripherals, network, internet, VPN, local backups, identity. Interface failures are shared. The written downtime procedure that keeps the clinic running belongs to the practice, not either vendor.
Size a server from measurement, not from a vendor minimum or a user count. Collect CPU, memory commit, disk latency, and network throughput on the existing workload across a full business cycle, month-end included, then size against observed peak plus growth headroom. Published minimums tell you what boots, not what performs.
Refresh on-premises when the workload is latency-bound, licence-locked, or feeds equipment that lives in your building. Move to hosted when the server mostly runs file shares, line-of-business apps, or anything already reachable over the internet. Most businesses land on a hybrid. Start from the operating system's end-of-support date, not the hardware's age.
