Our process is built to get you a clear answer quickly, without a long sales cycle.
How it works
- A meeting about your goals. We start with your business: where you want it to go, and how IT management and cybersecurity can help you get there.
- A look at what you have today. We review your current environment, and if you'd like, your current IT agreement or another provider's quote, at no cost.
- A written proposal. You receive an all-in, per-user price and exactly what it covers, in plain language.
- Sign electronically. The agreement arrives as a PDF you can sign with an e-signature.
- Onboarding in days, not months. Onboarding is normally completed within a few days and is scheduled around your business to keep disruption to a minimum. Larger projects, such as a move to Desktop as a Service, are planned and scheduled separately and may run about 30 days.
What it typically costs
Managed IT is priced all-in at typically $175 to $300 per user per month, including a Microsoft 365 Business Premium license for every user, on-site support, 24/7 security monitoring and CTO-level planning. A user is a person who uses a computer, not every employee.
| Computer users | Typical monthly range | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| 40 users | $7,000 to $12,000 | Microsoft 365 Business Premium, help desk, on-site support, 24/7 security operations center, backups, security training, network management and CTO-level planning |
| 75 users | $13,125 to $22,500 | |
| 100 users | $17,500 to $30,000 |
Where you fall in the range depends on your security and compliance needs, your backup needs and the number of locations and systems. See the full breakdown in our IT Buyer's Guide.
Agreement terms
We start with a three-year agreement because it offers the best value and a lower onboarding fee, and because we work best with companies that want a long-term technology partner for their business goals. Shorter terms can be considered case by case.
Who we work best with
Companies with 20 to 150 or more employees that depend on technology, especially oil and gas and energy companies, service companies and manufacturers. See oil and gas, manufacturing and all industries.
Client results
A server down for weeks, then years of uptime. A company had spent weeks trying to get its IT provider to respond to a server that was down; the one technician who knew servers was tied up on another project. The company moved to HUFF DATA SYSTEMS and has had more than 99.999% uptime in the years since.
Repeated security incidents, stopped. A company had suffered several security incidents, including a data breach, that its provider couldn't prevent and played down. After moving to HUFF DATA SYSTEMS and strengthening its cybersecurity, it has had no such incidents.
An email attack that became a non-issue. When a business email compromise campaign hit businesses in our area, some were compromised and suffered data breaches. For our clients, the attack was blocked. Going beyond "good enough" pays off.
