Pricing & Engagement

SHORT ANSWER

Pricing is structured around the scope and complexity of your technology environment, not a flat rate.

WHAT IT MEANS

Costs depend on factors like user count, systems supported, and the level of coverage you need.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

We assess your environment first, then recommend an engagement model that fits.

SHORT ANSWER

Cost is influenced by the number of users and devices, the complexity of your systems, and the level of support required.

WHAT IT MEANS

A larger, more complex environment with faster response needs typically requires more support.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

We walk through these factors together so pricing reflects your actual environment, not a generic package.

SHORT ANSWER

Yes. Every quote starts with understanding your current environment and goals.

WHAT IT MEANS

Available options and pricing depend on your environment and engagement requirements.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

A short conversation or assessment gives us what we need to build an accurate quote.

Onboarding

SHORT ANSWER

Onboarding starts with an assessment of your current environment, followed by a structured transition plan.

WHAT IT MEANS

We document what's in place today before making any changes, so nothing gets missed.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

A dedicated onboarding process keeps the transition organized and predictable.

SHORT ANSWER

Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of your environment.

WHAT IT MEANS

A straightforward environment onboards faster than one with many systems or locations.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

We provide a clear timeline as part of your onboarding plan, once your environment has been assessed.

SHORT ANSWER

We document and coordinate with existing systems and vendors as part of onboarding, rather than replacing everything at once.

WHAT IT MEANS

Onboarding is designed to minimize disruption to what's already working.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

Vendor management is part of our approach, so you have one point of contact going forward.

SLAs & Support

SHORT ANSWER

Support options are defined as part of your engagement, based on your business needs.

WHAT IT MEANS

Available options depend on your environment and engagement requirements.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

We discuss the right support model with you directly, rather than offering a single fixed package.

SHORT ANSWER

Issues are prioritized based on urgency and business impact, with a defined escalation path.

WHAT IT MEANS

Not every issue needs the same response — priority reflects how it affects your business.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

Escalation paths are agreed as part of your engagement, so everyone knows what to expect.

SHORT ANSWER

Communication expectations are agreed as part of your engagement.

WHAT IT MEANS

You'll know who to contact and what kind of updates to expect during an active issue.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

Clear communication is part of how we manage incidents, not an afterthought.

Co-Managed IT

SHORT ANSWER

Yes. Co-managed IT is designed to work alongside an existing internal team.

WHAT IT MEANS

We can take on specific responsibilities while your team retains others.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

We coordinate closely with your internal team so responsibilities are always clear.

Talk to an Expert →
SHORT ANSWER

Co-managed IT shares responsibilities with your internal team; fully managed IT covers the environment end to end.

WHAT IT MEANS

The right model depends on the size of your internal team and what you want to keep in-house.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

We help you decide which model fits based on your current team and goals.

SHORT ANSWER

Yes. Co-managed engagements are built around the specific responsibilities you want us to take on.

WHAT IT MEANS

You don't have to hand over everything to get support in the areas that need it most.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

We scope the engagement around your priorities, not a fixed package.

Compliance & Security

SHORT ANSWER

Q7ai can help organizations navigate a range of industry compliance requirements.

WHAT IT MEANS

Requirements vary significantly by industry, so the right approach depends on your specific situation.

Contact our team to understand the options available for your industry and environment.

SHORT ANSWER

Security is built into our recommendations from the start, not added on afterward.

WHAT IT MEANS

We look at security as part of every technology decision, not as a separate project.

HOW Q7AI HELPS

Our cybersecurity services are designed around your specific risk profile.

SHORT ANSWER

Yes. Q7ai can discuss the appropriate approach based on your industry and specific needs.

Compliance needs differ between financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and other industries.
