Strategic Partner

Everything in Protected Operations, plus a named technology lead, real budget and refresh planning, and documented procedures that are kept current instead of written once.

Who it is for

A company where technology decisions have budget consequences and somebody senior needs a straight answer about them every month.

Bands are by headcount because that is what actually drives the work. If you are on a boundary we will put you in the lower one and move you when it stops being true.

What is included

Everything, listed.

  • Everything in Protected Operations

    The whole stage stays in place.

  • Named technology lead

    One person accountable for the account who knows your business without being briefed.

  • Budget and refresh planning

    A three-year view of what is ageing and what it will cost, updated quarterly.

  • Procedures kept current

    Documentation maintained as things change, not left to rot after go-live.

  • Monthly working session

    Not a status report. A working hour on what to do next.

  • Project capacity

    Planned work scheduled properly instead of squeezed between tickets.

Evidence

Why this matters at your size.

40%

of a company's IT balance sheet is technical debt, and projects carry a 10–20% surcharge just to work around it.

McKinsey & Company

48%

of IT professionals spend ten to twenty hours a week on end-user tickets, so planning takes second place to firefighting.

Auvik, 2026

64%

of small businesses now use an outside IT or security provider, against 42% of large ones. At this size it is the normal arrangement.

What this is not

Said plainly, before you buy.

  • Above forty people the model changes and we will scope it individually.
  • Large projects are still scoped and priced separately from the monthly.
