The Typical MSP Model

Most MSPs bundle "unlimited support" into their monthly fee. Sounds great, right?

The problem: firms with well-maintained IT subsidize firms that call constantly. You pay the same whether you submit 2 tickets or 200.

That "unlimited" support isn't free--it's baked into a higher monthly fee that everyone pays, regardless of how much support they actually need.

Our Model

We separate help desk from managed services.

Your Flat Monthly Fee Covers:

  • 24/7 monitoring
  • Security management
  • Maintenance & updates
  • Backups
  • Problem resolution (system issues)

Help Desk Billed Separately:

Per ticket or per hour--your choice. You only pay when you use it.

What Counts as Help Desk?

User-initiated requests are help desk. System issues we catch are included.

$

Help Desk (Billed)

  • "How do I..." questions
  • Password resets
  • Software help
  • User errors
  • Training requests
  • New user setup assistance

Included in Flat Fee

  • System monitoring
  • Security management
  • Maintenance & updates
  • Problem resolution (system issues)
  • Backup management
  • Proactive fixes we identify

The Result

Clients with well-maintained systems typically need 2-5 help desk tickets per month.

That's far less than the "unlimited support" premium built into typical MSP pricing. And because we're incentivized to set things up right from the start, help desk volume stays low.

2-5 typical tickets/month
Lower total cost than "unlimited" plans
