IT Services: Why Is The Break/Fix Model On The Verge of Death


 A break fix model is an IT service that’s given and billed on whenever it’s needed. It is not an ongoing service that requires a fixed monthly payment. The transformation in the digital space has continued to change how small and medium businesses handle their IT infrastructure.

How often new technologies come up continue to affect the break fix operating model since more companies choose to hire managed IT services.

You only have to check MSPs projected market growth to notice this rapid disruption. It is expected to reach nearly $300 billion globally in 2023. As firms try to grapple with the complexity of IT infrastructure, the break/fix model no longer works. Why?

Break/Fix Vs. Managed IT Services

The break/fix model is a reactive approach when it comes to maintaining one’s IT infrastructure. The firm will only work with external IT experts in case of an IT problem or when their in house IT professionals are unable to fix the issue. The company will have to settle the bill once the issue is resolved. This as per required method has no ongoing expenses and does not require a monthly agreement.

Meanwhile, managed IT services Florence SC are offered for a fixed monthly fee and is based on an SLA or Service Level Agreement. They will monitor the networks and devices using remote access tools and take care of any issues. Other services may be included in the contract but this will depend on the nature of IT operations of the company in question.
