How Much Can You Expect to Pay for IT Support in Melbourne?
While every business has distinct IT requisites, and contracts vary in their inclusions, there are standard methods for determining the cost of managed IT support. These usually consider factors such as your IT environment’s size and intricacy, coupled with the range of services included.
While Pronet supports businesses Australia-wide, all our prices are based in our head office location of Melbourne.
As a helpful guideline, a managed IT support contract typically ranges between $105 and $160 per device/user, per month.
Common Factors Determining Managed IT Support Pricing
Many factors will contribute to the cost of your IT support plan, and understanding these nuances will help you determine the range of support your business needs.
Just as a larger office might necessitate more cleaners, a larger IT infrastructure often requires more intensive support. The number of workstations, servers, and connected devices all play a role in determining the cost.
Some businesses might have straightforward IT setups, while others could be running a myriad of specialised systems.
Whether you need fully managed IT services round the clock, ad-hoc remote support, or just periodic backups and disaster recovery assistance, the range and depth of services you opt for will affect the cost.
Addressing advanced cyber security threats or managing intricate databases might require a higher level of expertise than general device maintenance.
While remote support can resolve many issues, there are times when you might need our technicians to pay a visit. The frequency of onsite IT support can have a bearing on the overall cost.
If your business requires specific software solutions, like Microsoft Office 365, or unique licences, these can add to the managed IT support cost.
What is Included in Managed IT Support Pricing?
Understanding the devices, systems, and other services that will be included in your IT support plan is crucial. The complexity of your infrastructure and amount of devices that need IT support will contribute to your fee.

- Business Devices: Printers, scanners, landline phones, and other connected devices.

Managed IT Support Pricing Models
For SMEs that have an in-house IT team, co-managed support will share the responsibilities, taking on more complex requirements like backup and disaster recovery, network monitoring, and infrastructure management.
It’s a budget-friendly option for businesses that need advanced skill sets for specific issues, or just need to fill certain gaps in their IT environment.
A fully managed IT model entrusts the entirety of your IT operations to an external provider. From daily tasks to emergency responses, they handle it all, ensuring your systems are running smoothly and securely. This comprehensive coverage guarantees consistent monitoring and maintenance.
This option allows you to focus solely on your core operations, while the daily IT tasks and issues are handled by a diverse team of specialists.
