IT Support

Rates for monthly support membership are negotiated dependent on the size and needs of the organisation, with a significant discount available to charities.

Our support fees have two components, the first is our membership fee which pays for support services, and the second depends on what equipment you use and how many users you have. We do need to conduct a meeting and discuss your requirements before giving an accurate quote, but a rough guideline follows:

Membership Fee: £60-£150 per month (depending on organisation size/turnover)
Linux/Mac server maintenance £20-£40 per month
Windows server maintenance £55-£170 per month

Ad-hoc IT support and consultancy arrangements are also available, a 5-hour package costs £275 and is valid for 12 months from issue.
