The hidden costs of in-house IT support
The salary is the number everyone sees. It's rarely the biggest one.
Salary is just the tip of the iceberg
Beyond pay, an in-house hire carries benefits, training, software licenses, and overhead, often 1.3 to 1.5 times the base salary. Then there's the cost of everything one person simply can't cover on their own.
The cost of single points of failure
When your only IT person is out sick, on vacation, or resigns, everything they knew walks out the door with them. The resulting downtime, stalled projects, and security gaps are expensive in ways that never appear on a payroll line.
Where a partner changes the math
A managed model converts lumpy, unpredictable costs into one flat monthly fee, spreads coverage across a whole team, and gives you access to specialists you could never justify hiring individually, a security architect, a cloud engineer, a vCIO, for a fraction of the combined cost.
