What's inside

What your IT quote should be judged against.

→

What drives the cost

The factors that move a managed IT quote — network complexity, support level, security tier, backup and recovery — so you can tell why two quotes differ instead of guessing.

→

A 15-section checklist

From assessing your needs to onboarding and reporting — the questions to put to every provider, so nothing important is left to the sales call.

→

Budget worksheet

A fill-in comparison sheet: quote every line to every provider, write their figures side by side, and land on a defensible IT budget.

→

Provider checklist

The questions that expose an unfair quote — support quality, security depth, contract terms, and transparent pricing.

Microsoft

Your Microsoft environment belongs in the comparison.

Most managed IT quotes now include your Microsoft 365 tenant — licensing, security baselines, backup, and increasingly Copilot readiness. How a provider handles your Microsoft environment is one of the clearest differences between two quotes that otherwise look alike, so put it to every provider you shortlist. Integrated Axis is a Microsoft Partner and supports Microsoft-centric environments — Windows, Microsoft 365 and Active Directory.

Why this guide is worth three minutes

  • Compare like for likeWhether you're outsourcing IT for the first time or replacing your current provider, put the same list of questions to everyone — so you're comparing scope, not sales pitches.
  • Judge the quote in front of youRenewal on your desk or a new proposal in your inbox, the checklist shows what outsourced IT support should include at each price level.
  • Know before you meetWalk into any provider conversation already knowing the ranges — so the discussion is about fit, not about who blinks first on price.
