Hiring in-house personnel, building reliable infrastructure and keeping your certifications up-to-date all cost a lot of money. If your business doesn’t have the capital or the experience, it’s left open to even more costly downtime and outages. With our Managed IT Support Services we will take care of everything for a fraction of the cost.
In-house vs Managed IT Support Services
Cost of responsiveness
In-house
You need staff available 24×7 to run the technology and respond to critical problems. Depending on the size of your business, cost of around the clock support with a minimum of 3 staff can be up to $160,000 per year, that’s over $13,000 per month. A typical fully loaded server costs up to $10,000 every year with management, upkeep, licensing and hardware replacements.
This doesn’t even include the costs of the hiring, training, auditing, resilience, or business continuity.Why Pathway?
With Pathway, you have access to multiple experts to manage, monitor and support your infrastructure 24x7x365. Our experts closely monitor your network every 3 minutes – that’s 14,400 times a month to ensure your connection and infrastructure never goes down. Every alert received is responded to and resolved immediately and well within service level agreements.
For full server management, our plans start from $199.99 per server per month. Other options are also available, including application management, load balancers and high availability modes.Cost of quality management
In-house
Huge upfront costs. You have to implement a formal quality management system, train your staff to use it and re-certify the system every year. Initial cost for a medium-sized business is over $25,000 with recurring costs of over $10,000 per year for re-auditing, documentation and maintenance.Why Pathway?
No upfront costs. Pathway is already ISO 9001:2015 certified and all of our managed IT support personnel are trained in ITIL®-based systems and processes.
Pathway’s managed IT support personnel work with rigid, fully audited ticketing, information and change management systems that hold them to their tasks. Extensive continuous improvement plans are in place to ensure we’re always enhancing our services, training and technology.

Cost of limited expertise and training
In-house
To keep up with evolving technology, you have to provide costly ongoing training for your in-house IT support staff. Otherwise, they don’t maintain the high level of technical competence required of their job. Annual cost of training your IT support staff, including downtime, can be up to $25,000. It is absolutely mandatory to make sure your support team knows how to take care of problems as they occur. Otherwise, errors happen with an estimated cost of over $2,000 per month.Why Pathway?
Get full access to an army of managed IT support experts, with different skills sets, to tackle complex IT environments. Pathway’s managed IT support staffs are trained in ITIL v3 best practices and are monitored around the clock with ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management systems and processes. All ongoing training is covered — this is something Pathway does as part of our quality management. Errors are immediately fixed at no additional cost.Cost of expert engineers
In-house
On average, an IT support expert demands a minimum of $5,000 per month. A full time salary, when combined with benefits and overhead costs, is very expensive.
If you need 24/7 coverage, you have to hire at least three engineers working 8 hour shifts. Add in another engineer for business continuity and you’re spending over $20,000 per month to keep your IT infrastructure running.Why Pathway?
For a fraction of the cost to maintain in-house IT support, you have access to an army of experts who monitor your systems 24×7 to prevent any disruptions. With prices starting at just $199.99 per server every month, our highly trained and capable managed IT support personnel dedicate themselves to keep your systems online.Cost of downtime
In-house
Either you have to hire staff to work the night shift, or hope your IT support staff answers the phone after hours. What happens if someone calls in sick? Do you have back up staff? How do you afford the massive capital expenses of in-house, high availability infrastructure? Just for a small Tier II level data centre with minimal uptime considerations, you’re looking at over $4,000,000 in capital investments. Calculate the average cost of IT downtime.Why Pathway?
Time is money. Avoid downtime and enjoy peace of mind knowing that your services are running 24/7 on a Tier III certified data centre built for reliability, security and uptime. If someone falls ill, our back-up resources take over right away. Multiple IT support experts are trained at Pathway to look after your technology.Cost of keeping up with business growth
In-house
You need the right expertise to scale your business and react to changing market conditions. If your business can’t adapt, you’re in trouble. Yet, the advice you need comes at a heavy cost – experienced business and market analysts charge no less than $8,000 – $10,000 per month.Why Pathway?

Consult with us any time. The Pathway IT support services team will help you come up with innovative solutions that drive your business forward.Cost of overworked support staff
In-house
IT experts often get bogged down with managing mundane day-to-day maintenance tasks and don’t have time to innovate or improve your existing infrastructure. The results are increased absenteeism, burnout and job dissatisfaction with less work of real value getting done every day. Sick leave and unplanned vacation can cost your company thousands of dollars in lost productivity and backup staff. It’s also estimated that human error causes over 28% of all system downtime and failures. See how much overworked staff could cost your business.Why Pathway?
