Compare your IT costs
Most organizations overspend on IT operations because they're staffed for peak load (the 2–3 months per year when disaster recovery drills, major upgrades, or incident response consumes everyone's calendar). Managed services flatten that cost and let you redirect salary budget to business growth.
Your Current Setup
Loaded rate = salary + benefits + taxes + tools/licenses (Windows Defender, Intune licensing, cloud storage, etc.). If your IT team costs $120k/year + $30k in tools, that's roughly 2 people × ($120k salary + $15k overhead) ÷ 2000 hours = ~$67.50/hr. Conservative estimates: use $70–$95 per hour.

This assumes you reallocate IT staff to revenue-generating work. If you keep staff as-is, the ROI is a reduction in operational overhead and improved uptime.
Key Insights
- 1. Peak-load staffing is expensive. Most IT teams are sized for the 10% of the year when demand spikes (security incidents, major upgrades, compliance audits). Managed services let you pay for average load.
- 2. Tool costs are often underestimated. EDR, MDR, SIEM, MDM, SSO, password managers, backup/restore, email security—these add up fast. Our Professional tier bundles SentinelOne EDR + Adlumin MDR, saving you licensing complexity and cost.
- 3. Time-to-incident is what matters. Fast incident response prevents costly downtime (research: the average incident costs $14,000 per hour). 24/7 SOC availability on Professional tier cuts incident response time from hours to minutes, often paying for itself after just one avoided outage.
