With the amount of news we’ve seen lately, from system failures costing British Airways millions to global cyber attacks, making sure that your IT is properly managed and monitored is more important than ever. However, when it comes to IT, many small businesses struggle with the decision between paying for hourly IT services and managed IT services.
Managed IT services will also help prevent problems.
Get the most IT support out of your IT budget
You may think that only paying for IT services when something goes wrong is going to save you money in the long run. When you’re counting every penny, paying for managed IT service as opposed to hourly IT service may seem like a waste because so much of the time, when nothing is going wrong, you are paying needlessly. However, when you pay for managed IT service, you pay for more than just problem solving and troubleshooting – you also pay for prevention and monitoring.
Hourly IT service
If you’ve got a pretty good grasp on your IT – maybe you even have a few tech-savvy employees who can help troubleshoot small problems, you may opt for the less costly hourly IT service. However, when you pay for hourly IT service, you have to wait for the problem to arise before calling someone to help you fix it. You may think you are paying less, but waiting for a problem to arise can end up being more costly than the IT service. Your loss of time and slowdown in productivity while you wait for the IT tech to fix the problem can be more costly than paying for managed IT service.

When you pay for managed IT service, you are paying for someone to constantly be on the lookout for vulnerabilities and potential problems with your IT. The preventative care that you get from managed IT services is well worth the extra costs. Plus, when you are paying for managed services, you won’t have to think about the cost every time something goes wrong because you are already paying for someone to help you fix it. With hourly services, you have to pay every time, and this sometimes causes businesses to wait or avoid calling altogether because of the extra cost.
