We know that when you’re looking for a new IT support company, one of the important factors to take into consideration is the cost. That is why we want to be open and up-front with you and provide that information here.
How much does IT support cost?
There are lots a factors that go into the pricing of an IT support package, so it can be difficult to provide an exact figure for all situations. James explains in the video below:
The final price depends on a number of things, including:
- How many people use IT in your organisation
- How many workstations you have
- How many servers you have
- The complexity of your IT infrastructure and applications
- Your security requirements
- Whether you need support 8 am to 5 pm on weekdays or 24/7
As part of our process to engage with new clients, we carry out an in-depth technology assessment where we visit your locations and collect all the information we need to provide an IT support quote.
