AIL3 — Senior engineering for MSPs
Senior engineering for MSPs

Stop being your team’s L3.

AIL3 gives your MSP a senior engineering pod — escalations, migrations, and AI projects, handled.

Escalation queue covered · business hours
Sound familiar

You built the business. Now it owns you.

The hard tickets still land on you — nights, weekends, and the vacation you keep cutting short.

The interrupt loop

Your L2 hits a wall on a broken hybrid Exchange at 3pm Friday. It escalates to you. You drop the quote you were writing, fix it, and the afternoon is gone.

The project you turned down

A client asks you to lead their Server-to-Cloud migration. You don’t have the bench, so you pass — and watch the revenue go to someone else.

The vacation that wasn’t

You finally take the week off. Then an Azure tenant issue surfaces and you’re answering Slack from the resort. Your family stopped expecting you to be present.

The hire you can’t justify

A real senior engineer costs $150K all-in. You can’t pin that to one client’s MRR, so you keep absorbing the escalations yourself — year after year.

The real numbers

You charge $250. You earn $80.

Count the escalation hours against what you actually take home, and the math stops making sense.

See What It Costs
What you get

A senior pod, on monthly retainer.

A dedicated pod — offshore engineers led by a senior, US-based L3 supervisor — owns the hard work. Your helpdesk keeps running.

Intune Setup & Management

Tenant config, device enrollment, app deployment, and Conditional Access — done right the first time.

Mailbox Migrations

Exchange, Google Workspace, or tenant-to-tenant. Mailboxes moved to M365 cleanly, on a known scope.

Server-to-Cloud Migration

On-prem servers sunset. AD to Azure AD, file servers to SharePoint, desktops migrated and cut over.

AI Support

Deploy and govern AI tools for your team and your clients. Readiness assessments and custom automations included.

How it works

It slots onto your helpdesk.

No rip-and-replace. Your L1/L2 decides what to escalate — we take it from there.

01

Escalate

Your team flags an L3-worthy issue in a dedicated Slack channel. Email backs it up.

02

We confirm fast

We verify it’s ours within one business hour and own it from there. You get back to running the business.

03

You see everything

Every hour tracked in a live dashboard. Monthly reports on the first business day. No black box.

Why AIL3

Not a hire. Not a ticket mill.

You don’t need another L1 ticket-taker or a $150K salary. You need senior depth you can rent.

vs. Hiring a senior engineer

One senior hire is $150K and months of recruiting. AIL3 is senior depth from $2,500/month — no payroll, no ramp, no risk.

vs. Commodity helpdesks

Most outsourced support takes L1/L2 tickets. Our pod does the L3 work your team escalates — Azure, migrations, AI — under US-based supervision, with documentation discipline behind every job.

vs. The big NOCs

We’re focused, senior-supervised, and honest about our window. Four things done well beats forty done at arm’s length.

The only L3 partner combining escalation support, project delivery, AI services, and productized scopes — plus Engineering Equity, a loyalty program no competitor offers.

Who’s behind it

Built by operators who’ve been you.

AIL3 was founded by people who ran the escalation queue — and built the bench to get out of it.
