The basics

What a managed service provider actually does.

A managed service provider takes on the running of your IT for a fixed monthly fee. The help desk is the visible part. Most of the value is in the routine work behind it: patching, monitoring, backups, security and a plan for what needs replacing next.

Paying by the hour works for very small teams. Once a business depends on its systems every day, a provider paid to prevent problems usually costs less than one paid to fix them.

Questions

Common questions, answered plainly.

What is a managed service provider?

A managed service provider (MSP) looks after a business's IT for a fixed monthly fee. That usually covers the help desk, maintenance, security, backups and planning, so problems are prevented as well as fixed.

What do managed IT services cost in Melbourne?

Fully managed IT in Melbourne generally runs from $110 to $220 per person per month, depending on what is bundled. Ours is $150 per user, per month, with Microsoft licences and hardware passed through at cost.

Is break-fix cheaper than a managed service provider?

Under about five staff, break-fix usually costs less, and we will tell you so. As a business grows and depends more on its systems, a fixed fee that includes security, backup and prevention tends to make more sense.

Are we locked into a contract?

No. The agreement is month to month, six pages long and written in plain English. A month's notice ends it, there is no exit fee, and we hand over all credentials, documentation and configuration records.
