What I help with

Most small businesses don't need a full IT department. They need someone who can fix what's broken today and plan for what's coming next.

  1. Everyday IT support

    Computers, printers, Wi-Fi, email, and the small problems that stop a workday. Remote help when a fix can happen over the internet, and on-site visits when it can't.

  2. Security and website protection

    Cleanup after a hack, safer logins with multi-factor authentication, backups that have actually been tested, and regular updates for your website and computers.

  3. Upgrades and replacements

    Moving off Windows 7 and other unsupported systems, replacing computers and servers on a sensible budget, and setting up Microsoft 365 for email and file sharing.

  4. Compliance support

    HIPAA security risk assessments, written policies, and the documentation small medical and dental offices need to show they're protecting patient information.

  5. Private AI assistants

    An AI assistant that runs on a computer in your office, so your documents and questions stay in the building. Includes setup and training for your team on using it safely.

How working together starts

No long contracts to sign on day one. You see what I find and what it costs before deciding anything.

  1. Step 1

    A short call

    Book 15 minutes to talk through what's going on. There's no cost and no pressure to sign anything.

  2. Step 2

    An on-site look

    I visit, look over your computers, network, and accounts, and write up what I find in plain language.

  3. Step 3

    A written plan

    You get clear options with prices up front. Nothing starts until you approve it.

  4. Step 4

    Ongoing support

    Choose a monthly support plan or call when you need help. Either way, you'll know who's picking up.

About Inlet Systems

I'm Alex Trager. I started Inlet Systems to give small businesses the kind of IT help that larger companies take for granted: someone who knows your setup, shows up when something breaks, and explains what happened without the jargon.

My background is in IT support, cybersecurity, and HIPAA compliance work for medical practices. That includes cleaning up and securing a business website after it was hacked, then keeping it maintained ever since.

Inlet Systems is based in Olympia and works with offices around the South Sound.
