IT By Design Introduces and Solidifies Cost Plus Pricing Model for Large-Scale MSPs at Build IT LIVE 2024

A Game-Changer for Transparent and Scalable MSP Staffing Solutions Reinforced at the Industry’s Premier Event 

Orlando, FL – September 9, 2024 – From Build IT LIVE 2024, IT By Design announced today its innovative Cost Plus delivery model, specifically designed to meet the evolving needs of large-scale Managed Service Providers (MSPs). This groundbreaking model provides greater transparency and predictability in staffing costs, empowering MSPs to better manage their resources and scale their businesses with confidence. 

About the Cost Plus Model 

The Cost Plus pricing model provides MSPs with full visibility into their staffing expenses, offering a clear and straightforward structure: MSPs pay the exact cost of IT By Design’s skilled engineers, plus a modest, fixed percentage markup. This approach, designed for larger-scale engagements of ten or more resources per month, allows MSPs to directly manage resources thereby eliminating additional management fees, and allows MSPs to recruit and hire operational roles.  

Key Benefits for MSPs: 

  • Transparent Pricing: Know exactly what you’re paying for, with full visibility into the cost breakdown of your staffing 
  • Scalability: Easily scale your teams up without the uncertainty of fluctuating costs, ensuring that your business can grow and adapt as needed.  
  • Quality Assurance: Continue to receive top-tier talent, with IT By Design ensuring that all engineers are highly skilled and regularly trained to meet the latest industry standards 
  • Operational Optimization: Hire and onboard operational resources in any division of your company, offering a new level of cost-optimization in your operational resources model. 

A Commitment to Long-Term Partnerships 

The Cost Plus model is more than just a pricing structure—it’s IT By Design’s commitment to fostering long-term partnerships with MSPs by providing them with the tools and flexibility they need to thrive in a competitive landscape. By reintroducing and reinforcing this transparent and scalable staffing solution, IT By Design reaffirms its dedication to innovation, transparency, and the success of its MSP partners.
