Why VC3

Get your estimated costs.

As you go shopping for managed IT services, the journey can be a bit frustrating—especially when you’re trying to estimate costs. So many options exist—tiny and large managed services providers, different types of managed services models, and the level of involvement you receive from a managed services team. 

Our pricing calculator gives you a sense of how managed services costs are estimated and shows you some prices that you can expect in the industry. Theses prices do not reflect VC3-specific costs or personalized pricing packages (such as through municipal league partnerships).  
 
By using our calculator, you will see how various parameters affect managed services costs. Plus, you can gauge how different options may (or may not) be within your budget.
 
Initial setup, ongoing maintenance, and other variables will also play a key role in determining your total costs.

Your Estimated Monthly Investment

Break/Fix Services

Technical support is provided only when something breaks or malfunctions. In this model, you contact the IT service provider to fix specific issues or failures as they arise, and you are typically billed for the time and materials required to resolve the problem. This service is not recommended as it usually leads to major unplanned expenses, significant and consistent disruptions, and root problems going unnoticed. In other words, this monthly price is very misleading. 
-

Includes 24x7x365 helpdesk support for your end users, 24x7x365 server and network monitoring / maintenance, endpoint detection and response (EDR), foundational Microsoft 365 security, and data backups.
