Frequently Asked Questions
Include server hosting, cloud services, internet/connectivity, phone systems, hardware leases, data center costs, and any infrastructure-related expenses. Don't include software licenses or staff salaries as these have separate fields. This helps calculate the true total cost of your IT operations.
The 30-50% savings range is based on 2024-25 industry research comparing fully-loaded internal IT costs to managed services. We use conservative estimates and factor in all hidden costs: 30% benefits load, 150% replacement costs (SHRM/Payactiv), $1,207 annual training per employee (HR Daily Advisor), and research-backed downtime rates. Most clients achieve 35-45% savings when all factors are considered.
Our managed services pricing includes 24/7 help desk support, proactive monitoring and maintenance, security services, backup and disaster recovery, strategic planning (vCIO), vendor management, and access to a full team of specialists. It replaces your entire IT department with predictable monthly pricing.
Yes, include all IT personnel costs. For contractors, use their monthly invoice amounts. For part-time staff, calculate their monthly cost based on hourly rate × hours worked. This ensures an accurate comparison since managed services would replace all these resources.
Downtime costs use 2024-25 research data: small businesses (1-25 employees) lose $10,000+/hour (Datto, Risk & Resilience Hub), medium companies (26-100) average $60,000/hour (ITIC 2024), large organizations (101-250) face $300,000/hour losses (New Relic, ITIC), and enterprises often exceed $1 million/hour (Forbes 2024). Industry multipliers apply for healthcare (1.5x), financial services (1.8x), and manufacturing (1.3x). MSPs typically reduce downtime by 40-70% through proactive monitoring.
IT turnover rates range from 13.2-18.3% nationally, with specialized roles reaching 35% (Corporate Navigators, Awareson 2025). Replacement costs average 150% of annual salary including recruiting, onboarding, and lost productivity (SHRM/Payactiv 2024). Training adds $1,207 per employee annually (HR Daily Advisor). With managed services, these costs disappear entirely—no recruiting, no training budgets, no coverage gaps from departures.
