Costing your Managed Service

How much does it cost?

We don't feel you should have to wait around for a call, be chased forevermore by a sales team or feel obliged to us.
With that in mind please try our pricing calculator below.

If this seems overly complicated or expensive please bear with us and note the following..
We aren't cutting support service costs to be the cheapest or hiding any big markups on services.
There are some "per-device" costs that can't be avoided, e.g. backup for important things like servers, and anti-virus for all computers.
The aim is to strike a balance between a quality support service and market leading offerings for backup and security.
Support costs could be negotiable depending on needs and current situation.

We offer a loyalty scheme of 5% discount on each yearly renewal of working together to a maximum of 20%.
(This only applies to services we offer, not 3rd party cloud services like backup/M365).

If you have any questions, or need clarification on the meaning of any items, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Contact details at top of page.

We understand that commiting to a managed service may seem daunting or costly so we also provide adhoc assistance.
This may also be attractive to companies without feet on the ground in sites that are within our area.

If you just want to see our hourly rates we have a price list here.

Microsoft 365 products can be managed and supplied directly but are left out here as prices can change during course of subscription.
We supply those at cost on date of subscription going live so its best to use the Microsoft website as a guide.
