Managed IT vs Break-Fix: Which Fits Your Business?
Break-fix works until downtime costs more than a monthly plan.
Break-fix
Pay when something breaks. Fine for low-urgency single PCs. Risk: no patching cadence or monitoring.
Managed IT
Proactive updates, help desk, planning, predictable cost. Better when email and files must stay up.
Rule of thumb
If a half-day outage hurts revenue, managed usually wins.
