The opportunity

Why this business works now

Small and growing businesses need dependable technology support without employing a full internal IT team. A provider can combine monthly managed-service agreements with equipment, cloud and project work. The plan explains prospecting, environment assessments, proposals, onboarding, documentation, ticket priorities, remote and site support, monitoring, maintenance, escalation, reporting and contract reviews.

  • Recurring support contracts

    Monthly managed services create predictable client relationships.

  • Remote and on-site delivery

    Help desk work can be combined with scheduled visits and projects.
