The biggest benefits : Backups, updates, and virus scan/protection is in place. When employees have computer issues, I know someone will be resolving the issue."
In today's world, an efficient IT department is the backbone of a thriving business. But hiring a full-time, in-house IT team? The crushing costs would make anyone think twice...
A report from Glassdoor suggests the average salary for an IT specialist can be upwards of $85,000 a year, and that's just one employee. Factor in training, benefits, equipment, and inevitable downtimes, and the numbers just keep rising.
Matter of fact, let’s paint a clearer picture for you.
Here's what you can expect when hiring an in-house IT team versus partnering with a Managed Service Provider (MSP) like AlwaysOnIT.
Salaries: The average salary for an IT professional in the US is about $85,000 annually. For a team of five, that's $425,000 per year.
Benefits: Health insurance, retirement contributions, and other benefits can add up to 30% to base salaries, translating to an additional $127,500 for a team of five.
Training: Continuous professional development and certifications might cost upwards of $5,000 per employee per year, totaling $25,000 for a team of five.
Space and Equipment: Dedicated office space and top-tier equipment can cost up to $10,000 per employee annually. That's $50,000 for a team of five.
Total Approximate Annual Cost: $627,500
Service Packages: MSP service packages begin at $150,000 annually for businesses of comparable size. This includes 24/7 monitoring, cybersecurity, software updates, and more.
No Hidden Overheads: There are no additional costs related to benefits, training, or equipment. Everything is bundled into our comprehensive packages.
Total Approximate Annual Cost: $150,000
The collective experience is typically limited to the team's combined years of work, let's say an average of 5 years per person for a 25-year total.
With over 100 combined years in the industry from various IT experts, our team's vast experience is a treasure trove of solutions for diverse challenges.
To scale by just one more professional would mean additional expenses (salary, benefits, training, and equipment) of about $125,500 annually.
At AlwaysOnIT, our scalable model allows for growth without exorbitant extra costs. Upgrading to a package supporting larger operations may entail an increase, but it's fractionally small, say a 20% hike for substantial scaling, which is $30,000.

Back in 1997, I delved deep into the tech world at Symantec. But in 2003, I chose the entrepreneurial path when faced with a move-or-leave decision. This was born out of a deep-rooted passion for making technology accessible and personal.
From the 70's, computers were not just tools—they were companions. Helping people understand and harness this magic became my mission. Thus, GeeksAKnockin' was born, a residential IT service. But as times changed and giants like Geek Squad emerged, the landscape shifted.
We pivoted. By 2014, AlwaysOnIT emerged, dedicated to businesses. A unique approach? We've always been cloud-based and remote, long before it became the new normal. The aim? Being more than just an IT provider; being a trusted partner, an ally in growth, and an advocate for excellence. Today, we're not a mere vendor. We're a strategic partner for business success!
With AlwaysOnIT, gone are the days of waiting hours for IT support. We pride ourselves on being responsive and agile. One of our clients once shared, "AlwaysOnIT isn't just a service. It's a partnership. They get us."
Our emphasis on strategic IT thinking makes us uniquely positioned to support and drive your business growth. And it's not just talk.

"Accessibility to your services, timeliness of your response to our need, your persistence in finding a solution to our problems, and your willingness to ignore our technological ignorance!"
