Our Pricing Model Explained
Lets take the confusion out of our pricing structure and compare it to our competitors. While there are a lot of similarities our structure is designed for transparency.
Unlimited IT Support, Is a Myth as old as time.
Lets face it, unlimited support is a myth. Not only is it impossible to pull off, it logically makes no sense. Good support, takes time and any company claiming to have unlimited time is dedicated to the idea of quantity over quality. This type of service sets you up for rushed desktop support.
The way we handle support is to split it up into two types. Helpdesk and Proactive. Proactive support is baked into all of our plans based on the tools used to inform and repair wayward systems.
Time-Based Approach
This is the high-quality approach. Having hours baked into our plans allows us to focus the appropriate time needed to fix your issues.
Proactive Maintenance
All our plans have a proactive component. Work done to keep your systems running smoothly outside of the set support hour allotment.
Project Management
The industry norm is to not have a Project and Client Success manager. With a PM and CSM, you have consistent follow through on initiatives.
Dedicated Team
In an unlimited support environment you and your staff will reach different IT support members each time you call in, from various locations including abroad.
Time Transparency
We track the time spent using your support time allotment each month and report back in realtime so you can see how your time is used.
Controlled Costs
Per seat costs can increase the cost of your plan exponentially, and often unnecessarily. Pay for what you need with a time based approach.
* Our plans are prix fixe so modifications of plans are not allowed due to the specific cost ratios baked within.
* On average we are seeing 10-20 tickets closed, 1 project completed and 2-3 strategy sessions within a core 20 hour window. Will vary month to month.
* Once 20 hours is consumed you will be able to pause work for the month or continue at your pre-negotiated lower hourly rate.
