Who has the best outsourced IT services in Alexandria, Virginia? Here at E-N Computers, we meet with lots of people who want to get the best technology support for their home or business. As much as we’d love to “do it all”, not every opportunity is a good fit for our services. Our clients are businesses that want a partner who will fully manage their IT systems or support an internal IT department. We take a proactive, holistic approach by building an IT-business strategy with you.
Even if that’s not what you’re looking for, we want you to find the technology solution that is right for you. So we put together this list of great Alexandria outsourced IT companies.
Being in the IT industry since 1997, I have met many Virginia IT companies and business owners. It has been my pleasure to meet local IT leaders at trade shows and conferences. We get to know their work when we perform third-party audits and IT assessments. And from time to time, we transition businesses to or from other companies because of changes in management or ownership.
These experiences have shaped my list of the best Alexandria, Virginia IT service providers. In no particular order they are Matrix, Miles IT, Mid-Atlantic Computer Solutions, and Teal. But first, let’s talk about what to look for when choosing an IT provider. I’ll also share some background on E-N Computers and where we fit in.

What to look for when choosing an IT provider
There are a few important factors to think about when choosing your IT managed service provider (MSP).
- Your current situation and needs: To find the best MSP for you, start by looking inward. Identify any pain points you’re dealing with, your IT-related goals, and specific services you need.
- MSP experience and expertise: Look for MSPs that have experience supporting your industry. Make sure they support the technology you rely on.
- Services and scalability: Check if their service plans match what you expect. Also find out whether they have the capacity to support your growth and adapt to changes in your business.
- Security and compliance: Look for information about the MSPs security practices, like firewalls, detection and response, and creation of incident response plans. Determine whether they are familiar with any compliance standards that apply to you.
- Customer service and support: You’ll want to know where the team — including the helpdesk — is located, and their response time.
- Pricing and value: Look for transparent pricing and a fair value. You’ll also want to pay attention to contract length, since many companies require at least a year. Although it’s easy to look at IT as a cost center, keep in mind that well-maintained tech improves productivity and minimizes downtime.
There are a few ground rules for making my top 5 list. This list is for readers looking for a local, reliable IT service to support their business, usually a 20-100 employee company. And I’m looking for companies that are large enough to use a process-based approach, so that their customers can have service consistency.
