Paying to keep a fully-staffed, in-house IT team can be a substantial expense for any company. The cost of recruitment, salary, benefits, and potential overtime for multiple employees is a cost that most organizations cannot afford to pay. This is why companies everywhere are making the switch to a Managed Service Provider (MSP) to handle their IT. Of course, one important question to consider is: How much do Managed IT services cost?
Most common pricing models for Managed IT Service providers
Flat Rate
With this model, Winsor Consulting essentially becomes your outsourced IT department. If something breaks down, for instance, your server, Winsor Consulting will help based on the service level agreement.
Per-User
It’s a simple pricing model that makes service-level agreements (SLAs) easy to interpret. Your monthly price will vary depending on the number of users you have. Prices generally vary per user per month.
Per-Device
This model simplifies the user pricing structure for your different service levels and makes it easier to provide potential clients with a managed IT services price list. This pricing model charges businesses per device.
A La Carte
A La Carte pricing models allow you to tailor the exact service you need and have granular control of your IT budget. You can avoid bundling services or having to pay for things you don’t really need. For example, if your internal IT team can handle desktop and email support, you can engage Winsor Consulting to help with quarterly patching of all your servers and 24/7 monitoring.
Co-Managed/Hybrid
This option allows you to offload some tasks like server management and helpdesk support to Winsor Consulting and handle break-fix and desktop support internally. It’s an effective way to prioritize your internal IT team’s time and make sure they’re concentrating on projects that generate revenue.
Fully Managed IT Services
The alternative option is to let Winsor Consulting handle your entire IT stack. This is a great option for a business with limited time/resources to focus on IT. Winsor Consulting will handle everything from break-fix to help desk, maintenance, cloud configuration & maintenance, etc. With a single point of contact (SPOC), your concerns and inquiries are adequately addressed at fair managed IT services rates.
Although fully managed IT is the most expensive tier, it is quite cost-effective at an enterprise level. Instead of investing in costly tools and technologies, you can leverage the high-tech IT infrastructure that Winsor Consulting has already put in place. Winsor Consulting also serves as an extension of your IT team. If you already have cloud assets, Winsor Consulting will monitor things like consumption, backup data, and server loads.
