First, who we are: we are Beijing Siwenlide, based in Shunyi, providing IT Operations Outsourcing for companies with 10 to 300 employees, and one of the fourth-category providers below. This article focuses only on the 50-to-100-employee scale, lists the provider categories most often mentioned along with real examples, and explains who each one suits.
Why 50 to 100 employees deserve their own discussion
This is the size band where IT outsourcing choices go wrong most often. Calling someone out per incident is no longer enough, and hiring a large IT service provider is too heavy. At a dozen or so employees, a broken computer is solved with one on-site visit; at fifty or sixty, something comes up every week, and servers, ERP and a second office appear, so the problem shifts from ”fix one machine” to ”nobody is managing the whole network and systems.”
At this size, a company’s IT usually looks like this:
| Item | Typical situation |
|---|---|
| Endpoints | 60 to 120 computers, plus phones, tablets and meeting-room equipment |
| Servers | 1 to 3, or one NAS plus cloud services |
| Systems | ERP or inventory management, accounting software, OA, corporate email |
| Sites | One or two offices, sometimes with a warehouse or plant as well |
| Management | One IT colleague, or handled alongside admin duties |
| New requirements | Remote work, data backup, and customers or auditors starting to ask about information security |
The providers available at this size fall into four categories
Category 1: Standardized package providers
Services are packaged as standard plans billed per person or per device, with formal processes and monthly inspection reports. In Beijing, the names that come up most often are Tongchuang Shuangzi (listed on the NEEQ, China’s New Third Board; public materials show basic and advanced plans billed per person) and Xiaonuo IT (Beijing Xinnuo Chuangye, founded in 2007, focused on plans for companies with fewer than 100 employees). Best for: companies with many endpoints, standardized needs, and a wish to see a service report every month. Ask clearly whether servers, network equipment and the number of on-site visits are included in the plan.
Category 2: Established full-service providers
Long-established, with many customers and a full service line, including systems integration and large-account projects. Examples include Beichuang Wanglian (founded in 2002, listed on the NEEQ) and Huhang Technology (IT infrastructure operations and desktop services). Best for: companies with a relatively complex IT environment, cloud adoption, and multiple coexisting systems. Pricing is usually somewhat higher than that of providers focused purely on small and mid-sized businesses.
Category 3: Flexible, on-demand providers
Per-incident, monthly and part-time on-site arrangements are all available, and the tier can be adjusted at any time. Examples include Aiti Wuxian (office in Haidian) and Xuanyi Shidai (office in Wangjing; IT outsourcing and on-site staffing). Best for: companies with limited budgets, fluctuating needs, and no wish to sign a long contract up front. Ask clearly what the per-incident and monthly options each include.
Category 4: All-in-one subscription providers
Day-to-day operations, network equipment, backup and remote access are bundled into a single contract billed monthly. Siwenlide belongs to this category: founded in 2011, based in the Airport Economic Core Area of Shunyi, certified to ISO 9001 (registration no. 03826Q04830R001) and ISO 20000 (registration no. 03826IT00184R001), valid until September 2029; firewalls, routers, switches and wireless APs are provided free of charge for the contract term, with unlimited repair requests. Best for: companies with no dedicated person managing the network, aging network equipment they want replaced along the way, and two offices or remote-work needs.

Five Questions to Ask Before Signing at This Scale
- Is there a dedicated engineer assigned to us? At 50–60 people or more, if a different person shows up each time, just briefing them takes half an hour.
- Are servers, backup, and network equipment included in the monthly fee? These three are the biggest difference between this scale and smaller companies, and the items most often ”billed separately” in a package.
- How are two office locations managed? Are branch interconnection and remote access handled by the same provider?
- How do you divide responsibilities with our own IT colleague? For companies with an in-house IT colleague, the outsourced team should be their backup: hand over what one person can’t cover on their own—networking, security, backup—while day-to-day communication stays with them.
- Do you provide monthly records? How many tickets were filed, what was resolved, what inspections turned up. The other clauses that should be spelled out in the contract are worth reviewing as well.
Who We’re a Good Fit For—and Who We’re Not
- A good fit: companies with 50–100 people, no one managing networks and servers centrally, network equipment due for replacement, two office locations or remote work needs, and offices in Shunyi or nearby for convenient on-site visits.
- You need someone on site every day — look for the third category: part-time or full-time on-site service.
- You only want standard per-seat desktop support and your network equipment is already configured — the first category may be cheaper.
- Your office is in the city center and you require a 30-minute response — a provider with an office close to you is the better fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: For an 80-person company, what’s a reasonable monthly IT outsourcing budget?
A: It depends on whether network equipment and servers are included. A package covering only endpoints runs a few thousand RMB per month; include network equipment, backup, and remote access, and it starts at around RMB 7,000 per month. Inventory your existing equipment first, then compare quotes—only then can you compare meaningfully.
Q: We already have an IT colleague—do we still need outsourcing?
A: It depends on whether they can keep up. The common approach is to hand the specialized, time-consuming work—network equipment, security policies, backup—to the outsourced team, while they remain the day-to-day point of contact, with someone to share the load when major issues arise.
Q: Is switching providers a hassle?
A: The hassle is in the handover. Spell out in the contract in advance how configurations, passwords, and equipment lists will be transferred, and switching won’t be a hassle.
