MaguroBlue Automation supports Merced businesses from Turlock, forty-five minutes north on Highway 99.
Merced has been growing steadily, and growth is where IT quietly breaks. Systems that worked at eight employees start failing at twenty-five: shared logins nobody can untangle, a server bought for a smaller company, backups that were set up once and never checked. We have run IT for Central Valley businesses since 2017 and this is the most common condition we walk into.
What Merced businesses actually call us about
- Nobody owns the IT. It has been the office manager, a nephew, or whoever is least afraid of the server room. It works until it does not.
- The last provider disappeared. Tickets went unanswered, the monthly invoice did not.
- Microsoft 365 sprawl. Licenses for people who left, shared passwords, no MFA, no idea who has access to what.
- Backups nobody has ever tested. A backup you have not restored from is a theory, not a backup.
- An insurance or compliance questionnaire that suddenly requires answers about EDR, MFA and incident response.
How we work
Everything runs on Sysplicity, our three-tier managed IT service. Flat per-user pricing, published on the website, so you can decide whether we are worth talking to before you sit through a sales call.
- Sysplicity Essential — day-to-day support, remote monitoring, patching, backup and recovery planning.
- Sysplicity Managed — adds managed EDR, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace administration, DNS filtering, security awareness training and quarterly business reviews.
- Sysplicity Enterprise — adds vCIO leadership, advanced threat protection, compliance support and 24/7 priority response.

Most MSPs will not publish their pricing. We do, and we get told regularly that it is a mistake. The reasoning against it is that pricing without a discovery call invites comparison — which is exactly the point. If you can see what we charge before you speak to anyone, you can rule us out in thirty seconds instead of sitting through a meeting designed to get you invested first. We would rather lose that deal early than win it by controlling the information.

Why local matters here
Being in the Valley rather than the Bay Area matters more than the exact mileage. We understand what Merced businesses are actually working with — realistic budgets, mixed-age equipment, and internet service that is not what a San Francisco provider assumes when they design a solution.
Most support is remote and fast. When something needs hands on it, we drive.
What we will not do
We do not sell enterprise complexity simply because we can. If the right answer is an $800 firewall, we are not quoting you a $4,000 one because the margin is better. If your current setup is fine, we will tell you that too — it is a worse sales pitch and a better business.
