Nancy Harms's Review Sourced from Google
The Run Networks team can always be counted on to provide top-notch support. I have been helped by every team member and they are always professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Today's assistance helped migrate a large, varied database into an existing software application saving me a whole lot of time. I totally realize the value of hiring a competent team.
Samuel Shepherd Review from Google

Samuel Shepherd's Review Sourced from Google
Ben, Brandon, and the Run Networks team are the real deal. We're a small company not yet ready for managed IT services — and they knew that going in. They met with us anyway, assessed our systems thoroughly, walked us through our vulnerabilities, and gave us genuinely useful guidance for where we need to go. No sales pressure, no wasted time — just competent, honest people who clearly care about who they're serving, not just what they're billing. That kind of integrity is rare in any industry. When we're ready, there's no question who we're calling. Highly recommend without reservation.
Justin Gartner Review from Google

Justin Gartner's Review Sourced from Google
Our company has been with RunNetworks for over 7 years now, and they have been the best IT team we have ever worked with. They're great at making sure we understand all of the policies and security measures they recommend or enforce, as well as keeping us informed with standard changes in the security industry. Their support team members are extremely courteous and professional as well and we never feel like, as a smaller company, we get put on the backburner like previous companies we used.

Christina Spence's Review Sourced from Google
As a civil litigation defense firm, our priority is serving our clients, not managing IT headaches. Partnering with Clare Computer Solutions (CCS) has been one of the best business decisions we’ve made. CCS provides outstanding IT support; they are highly knowledgeable and thoroughly understand the security and confidentiality needs of a law practice.In the legal industry, network downtime can be frustrating, but more importantly, it can be incredibly costly. CCS has always understood the importance of network stability, healthy hardware, up to date software and ever evolving cyber security protections and enhancements. The depth of their team gives us the confidence that we can always expect excellent responsiveness. After years of partnering with CCS we’ve come to rely on their proactive problem solving.They continue to insure a reliably stable work environment for our on-site, as well as remote staff. They methodically implement robust cybersecurity measures to keep our sensitive client data fully secure and compliant. A noteworthy dynamic is that they don’t speak in dense tech jargon; they give us clear, practical solutions and support our firm with a priority that we have come to expect.If you are a law firm looking for a proactive, reliable, and trustworthy IT partner, I cannot recommend Clare Computer Solutions highly enough.

Clear concise communication and a desire to not just be a contracted job but an extension of own business that aims to drives sales with foot and internet traffic to my location is unbelievable. Going above and beyond by having their team brainstorm to find better faster solutions to mundane obstacles was way more than I ever expected. This is more than a small company that lends a hand. They are an invaluable asset at every turn. Best decisions I've ever made with a vendor.

What can a managed IT service provider do for business?
A managed service provider (MSP) is an external partner that manages and supports your IT systems so your team can focus on running the business instead of fixing tech issues.
MSPs typically handle:
IT infrastructure management (networks, servers, hardware, and cloud systems)
Proactive monitoring and maintenance to prevent downtime
Cybersecurity and data protection, including threat detection and incident response
Backup and disaster recovery to protect business-critical data
Help desk and technical support for day-to-day issues
IT planning and advisory, aligning technology with business goals
As IT environments grow more complex, more U.S. businesses are turning to managed services.
The U.S. managed services market reached $69.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a 10.5% CAGR through 2033, driven by remote work, cloud adoption, and rising cybersecurity threats.
What types of MSPs are there?
Managed service companies can be categorized in two ways:
1. By provider model (how the MSP operates and partners with your business)
Type
What It Covers
Best For
Pure-Play MSPs
Core IT operations like monitoring, maintenance, patching, and system support
Small to mid-sized businesses needing reliable day-to-day IT management
Staffing-Led MSPs
Managed IT services combined with IT staff augmentation
Companies that need flexible capacity or temporary technical expertise
High-Level (Strategic) MSPs
End-to-end IT management, cybersecurity, cloud strategy, and long-term planning
Enterprises with complex infrastructure and strategic IT needs
2. By service focus (what specific IT functions they manage)
Most specialize in one or more of the following areas:
IT support: Ongoing monitoring, troubleshooting, and system maintenance
Security services: Threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance support
Cloud services: Cloud migration, optimization, and ongoing management
Network services: Network monitoring, performance optimization, and connectivity management
Backup & disaster recovery: Data protection, backups, and business continuity planning
Industry-specific: Tailored IT support for regulated sectors like healthcare, finance, retail, and legal
What benefits can businesses expect from managed IT service providers?
MSP services are designed to reduce operational strain and create more stability. Here’s what they bring to the table:
Predictable IT costs Fixed or subscription-based pricing reduces budget uncertainty and unexpected expenses.
Access to specialized expertise On-demand support across infrastructure, cloud, security, and compliance.
Proactive system oversight Performance issues now carry the same business impact as outages. According to Catchpoint’s SRE Report 2025, 53% of organizations agree that “slow is the new down,” reinforcing why proactive monitoring and performance management are core managed services benefits.
Stronger security foundations Continuous threat monitoring, patching, and security controls reduce exposure to cyber risks. This is an increasing priority as the FBI recorded 859,532 cyberattacks in the U.S. in 2024, marking a 144% increase since 2018.
Simplified compliance support Built-in processes ensure you meet regulatory requirements like HIPAA and PCI DSS.
Optimized technology management Guidance on selecting, maintaining, and updating systems helps you avoid waste.
More focus on core work Internal teams spend less time on IT operations and more on business priorities.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and managed services?
Staff augmentation providers and managed service providers both offer IT outsourcing solutions, but they differ in several key ways:
Aspect
Staff Augmentation
Managed Services
Primary purpose
Fill skill or capacity gaps
Fully manage defined IT functions
Control
Client retains full control
Provider owns delivery and outcomes
Engagement type
Short-term or project-based
Usually ongoing, long-term partnership
Accountability
Client manages performance
Provider accountable via SLAs
Team integration
Works as part of your in-house team
Operates as an external IT owner
Cost structure
Hourly or contract-based
Typically fixed or subscription-based
How much do managed service providers in the USA charge?
On average, managed service firms charge $150-$400 per user per month or $175-$300 per hour. For enterprise-level projects, pricing can start at $10,000 per month.
Main factors that influence MSP pricing:
Number of users or devices
Scope of managed services
Infrastructure complexity and data volume
Contract length and service hours
Common MSP pricing models:
Per-user pricing: Predictable costs tied to headcount
Per-device pricing: Charges based on supported hardware
Tiered plans: Different service levels at increasing prices
Flat-rate pricing: Unlimited support for a fixed monthly fee
À la carte services: Pay only for specific IT needs
