After that, figure out the best way to pay for it. So the first thing to do is sit down and figure out how much time you think your IT services need each week, in terms of attention, monitoring, maintenance, and planning. Just understand that other options are likely to cost more, not less. Even if they're giving you some kind of special rate because of the guaranteed business that's at most 3 or 4 hours per week.Īt your size organization you are probably right in believing you don't need your own full-time person, and if you don't feel you're getting your $650 worth each month, that's fine. Using $100/hr as a sample, you're looking at them spending less than 2 hours per week in total on your business. Could be more, could be less, depending on your location, but it's not cheap. From the other direction, a typical consulting business is likely to charge more than $100 per hour. A full-time staffer will cost you 5 times that much minimum - 8x or more is more likely, especially when you consider benefits, equipment, payroll taxes, and office space in the mix. This company charges us around 650 USD / month and we don't feel the service they provide is worth the money.

What I want is some advice on how to structure our department's procedures and work. What we want to do now is remove this people and hire a technician and have him execute some procedures, such as backups, Active Directory administration, firewall administration, etc. However, I've always asking them reports on their remote work and they never do them.Also, I've been insisting in structuring clearly on paper (a wiki) the backup strategies and such, but still no results.Īs you can tell, we are TIRED of these people. This company charges us around 650 USD / month and we don't feel the service they provide is worth the money.įor example, they send a guy one time per week to do maintnance on the PC's and they remotely "administer" our servers. This setup has not worked the way we wanted though. Our department's infrastructure right now, consists of ourselves and an outsourced IT service provider. We can't dedicate all of our time to this, because we are in college and we also have some projects and stuff to do. Through these last 2 years, my brother and I have been in charge of our family company's "IT department". It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions. This question and its answers are locked because the question is off-topic but has historical significance.
