Most IT issues are resolved remotely within minutes. For hardware, network, or infrastructure projects, our technicians travel to Raeford as part of your managed service agreement.
What is Preferred Data's response time for Hoke County clients?

On-site visits to Raeford are scheduled within 24-48 hours for non-emergencies, with expedited response for critical infrastructure failures. All clients receive priority-tiered escalation with a dedicated account manager who knows your environment.
What do managed IT services cost for a small business in Raeford?

Every plan uses transparent, flat-rate monthly billing with no surprise charges. Call (336) 886-3282 for a free assessment that includes a custom quote based on your specific needs.
Does Preferred Data understand Hoke County manufacturing IT needs?
Manufacturing is our heritage. Our PDC Software Suite was built specifically for North Carolina manufacturers, and we have spent 37+ years supporting shop floors, ERP systems, OT/IT convergence, and industrial networking. For Hoke County manufacturers, we address unique challenges: securing operational technology, maintaining uptime on production networks, integrating legacy equipment, and meeting industry compliance requirements.
Should my Raeford business move to the cloud?
It depends on your operations. Many Hoke County manufacturers benefit from hybrid approaches - keeping production systems on-premises while migrating email, file storage, and collaboration to the cloud. Preferred Data evaluates your current setup, bandwidth, compliance needs, and growth plans before recommending a strategy. We handle Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and hybrid environments, and we never push a migration that does not make business sense for your situation.
Why choose a local NC IT company over a national provider for Hoke County?
National MSPs treat Raeford as a ticket number. Preferred Data treats you as a neighbor. The practical differences: we schedule regular on-site visits, we know Sandhills business culture, we understand local military industry requirements, and our team stays consistent (no offshore help desk rotation). Our 20+ year average client retention rate proves the value of a real relationship versus a service contract.
Who answers the phone when a Hoke County business calls for IT help?
A real technician in North Carolina. Our help desk is not outsourced or automated with chatbots. When your Raeford team calls (336) 886-3282, they reach experienced engineers who already have context on your environment. For after-hours emergencies, our on-call rotation ensures live response within 30 minutes. Every interaction is logged and tracked through resolution.
