Managed IT Cost Savings Guide for San Diego SMBs

Where a flat-rate managed IT agreement actually saves money versus break-fix and in-house hires.

The real math

Break-fix looks cheaper until the first multi-day outage. Here is how the numbers usually land for a 25-seat San Diego office.

Downtime is the biggest line item

At $150 per employee-hour, one four-hour outage across 25 people costs more than a quarter of managed coverage.

License consolidation

Most offices are paying for overlapping backup, antivirus, and email security. Consolidation typically recovers 10-18% of spend.

Predictable budgeting

Flat per-user pricing makes IT a planning input instead of a surprise.

Next step: send us your current invoices and we will model the difference.
