Posted the other day as have started up business carrying out IT repairs, network/server installs etc. Anyways got out first client who is basically paying circa £1600 per month for their IT service through a local company. Went to do a site visit and it's shocking...They have a Power edge 2600 running Server 2003 basically doing nothing..and I mean nothing...No Active Directory...No DNS...No DHCP nothing...It just sits there
None of the client workstations have any Anti Virus installed and the state of the network is shocking. The manager wants us to work on a Pay as You Go service to start with...Obviously I'd like to change that to a contract in around 3 months...
What do you reckon a good rate would be to charge...I mean I don't want to undersell myself but at the same time want to entice client into considering a contract with us...
I was gonna suggest £50 call out and £30 per hour which is below going market rates to show client that we are willing to negotiate ...Any suggestions...Would you charge more?
We are going to basically be overhauling the 2003 server..Probably install Active Directory...Re route network cables..Install Anti Virus...Setup Remote Access...Take management of company email system...Install Network Printer...Install Network File Server and continue to manage their network...
I'm hoping in 3 months to have shown we can do what we say and secure them on a contract of circa £1200 per month...
