What's inside

What your IT quote should be judged against.

→

What drives the cost

The factors that move a managed IT quote — network complexity, support level, security tier, backup and recovery — so you can tell why two quotes differ instead of guessing.

→

A 15-section checklist

From assessing your needs to onboarding and reporting — the questions to put to every provider, so nothing important is left to the sales call.

→

Budget worksheet

A fill-in comparison sheet: quote every line to every provider, write their figures side by side, and land on a defensible IT budget.

→

Provider checklist

The questions that expose an unfair quote — support quality, security depth, contract terms, and transparent pricing.

“Braylon is always kind, patient, and willing to take the time to listen to questions and fully understand concerns. He never makes you feel like you are the problem. He provides honest feedback, follows through on tasks, and demonstrates strong knowledge and skills. What I appreciate most is that he is not afraid to admit when something is outside his area of expertise and will connect you with the right person when needed. His professionalism, integrity, and willingness to help have built a great deal of trust and respect for both him and his skill set.”

Why this guide is worth three minutes

  • Compare like for likeWhether you're outsourcing IT for the first time or replacing your current provider, put the same list of questions to everyone — so you're comparing scope, not sales pitches.
  • Judge the quote in front of youRenewal on your desk or a new proposal in your inbox, the checklist shows what outsourced IT support should include at each price level.
  • Know before you meetWalk into any provider conversation already knowing the ranges — so the discussion is about fit, not about who blinks first on price.
