Managed IT vs Break-Fix Support: Which Is Right for Your Firm?
For Atlanta firms weighing predictable managed IT against paying for IT help only when something breaks.
The difference between managed IT and break-fix comes down to whether you prevent problems or just react to them. Here's how they compare.
Break-fix
You pay per incident, only when something breaks. It can seem cheaper — until downtime, security gaps, and repeat problems add up.
Managed IT
A flat monthly fee covers proactive monitoring, maintenance, security, and support. You get fewer outages, predictable costs, and a partner invested in keeping things running.
