Before you talk to any vendor — including us — here's an honest breakdown of what Ohio businesses actually pay for managed IT, VoIP, SD-WAN, and cybersecurity.
Every business is different. These are the biggest variables that move the number up or down.
Most services price per user or per seat. 10 users costs less than 100 users — but per-user rate also drops at scale.
Multi-site businesses need more connectivity, routing, and management complexity — each location adds cost.
24/7 monitoring, 4-hour SLAs, and dedicated engineers cost more than 8x5 basic helpdesk support.
HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2 requirements add audit prep, documentation, and ongoing control overhead.
Real market ranges for the Columbus, Ohio area. Your number depends on the factors above.
24/7 monitoring, help desk, patching, antivirus, and IT strategy. Replaces the cost of an in-house IT hire at a fraction of the salary.
Replace your aging PBX or on-premise phone system. Includes voice, voicemail, video, and mobile app — no hardware to maintain.
Carrier-neutral WAN management. Improves cloud performance, reduces outages, and usually costs far less than traditional MPLS circuits.
Includes MDR, next-gen firewall, endpoint protection, and compliance support. Enterprise-grade protection at a price mid-market businesses can afford.
We audit your invoices, identify overcharges, and renegotiate contracts. Most clients see real savings within 90 days — often enough to pay for everything else.
Ask these questions before you sign anything.
3-5 year contracts with heavy exit penalties are common. Ask what happens if you're unhappy after 90 days.
Some vendors only recommend carriers they resell. Ask if they're truly carrier-neutral and show options from multiple providers.
Setup, migration, and training are often quoted separately. Always ask for total first-year cost, not just monthly.
Many national MSPs use overseas help desks. Ask specifically where your support team is physically located.
"Best effort" response times aren't SLAs. Get written response and resolution time commitments before signing.
If a vendor never offers to audit your current bills, they may not want you to see how much you're overpaying.
We'll do a free assessment of your current setup and show you exactly where you're overpaying — and what a right-sized solution looks like. No pressure, no obligation.
