The Cost of Efficient IT Support

Is your company in the business of technology? In the 21st century, we'd contend that every business is a technology business. In that vein, we should look at how supporting our entire workforce affects our ability to work and what the true cost of technological support means for our success.

IT Support Cost

Several components impact the cost of an IT service provider or managed services provider relationship:

  • Help Desk Support: Fixing security issues related to networks, server infrastructure, passwords, and printing will take you away from what you do best. Outsourcing IT support is a common reason that many SMBs hire a Managed Service Provider (MSP) and is a common solution to productivity losses due to technology.

  • IT projects, project management, and migrations: Though we recommend involving your MSP in any conversation with a technology vendor, the project work a typical MSP handles usually relates to the assets they support, like desktops, servers, and network infrastructure, and your MSP may refer you to an organization with specialization in other specific project areas as needed.

  • Hardware, Software, or Other Product Resale: A good MSP should be your first thought when adopting new business technology. In a healthy vendor partnership, MSPs will deploy or support your purchase. At the very least, you'll want them informed about its impact on your environment.

How Framework Prices Differently

Adding value

Being fair and adding value is the best way to build a lasting business. We decided to align our fee structure with our costs and incentivize clients to do the right thing for their business.

Best Practices

Through hundreds of client engagements, we've found several indicators define an IT environment's overall health and structure. Generally, supporting an unhealthy environment costs us more time and money than supporting one outfitted with the best practices.

Pricing Calculator

We believe that we should reward our clients for doing the right thing because if the IT environment is healthier, so are our agreements. We've created this pricing calculator to let clients see where they fall in our best practice alignment. Find out how much you could save by improving your business. We'd be happy to share that reward with you.
