Help me with the size of my business

There is no size envy in the way which we classify business size. NI customers all have several things in common despite the number of PCs, laptops, handhelds, and servers they possess ... they are successful in running their business and enjoy leveraging technology. We help 10 person companies manage $100M of business, established 500 person companies, and start-ups just the same. Our structured and standardized menu like approach to IT functions allows us to manage any to all aspects of your IT requirements. We speak in terms of cost-benefit analysis, prioritized reality and user functionality, business risk thresholds and budgets.

We've tried to place some of the most common requirements for companies based on their physical size and scope determined by their amount of devices like PCs, laptops/notebooks, PDAs/handhelds, blackberries, servers and the like. That being said, we customize each and every package to meet your unique requirements. Our managed IT service packages start in the $500-1,000 per month range for telephone/remote and/or onsite packages for small business, and $2,000-3,000 for medium business.
