Charleston, SC

In Charleston SC, fully managed IT commonly runs about $125–$250 per user per month, with projects, licensing, and after-hours work potentially separate. Compare proposals using the same employee count, device count, support hours, and security scope.

Look for an MSP with a local or clearly defined remote support model, documented onboarding, and experience with hospitality, real estate, remote work, and storm-readiness planning. Ask to see sample reporting, escalation targets, and the roles of the people assigned to your account.

Not always: most routine support can be handled remotely, but nearby field coverage matters for network outages, office moves, and hands-on equipment work. Confirm on-site response times, travel charges, and geographic coverage before signing.

A typical transition takes 30–90 days, depending on documentation quality, identity systems, security cleanup, and the number of locations. A credible MSP should present a phased transition plan that preserves access, backups, and business continuity.
