Strategic Group support team

Which tier is right for you?

Choosing the right tier

You're a good fit for Essential if:

You have a small team (2–10 users), low IT complexity, want to control costs month-to-month, and are comfortable with a reactive support model. You're typically a sole trader, startup, or small practice.

You're a good fit for Proactive if:

You have 10–50+ users, rely on IT for daily operations, need predictable costs, want proper security coverage, and value regular reporting and a dedicated service manager. This is the right tier for most established businesses.

You're a good fit for Strategic Partner if:

You're in a regulated or high-risk industry, need enterprise-grade security, want executive-level IT governance, and expect a fully embedded technology partner. Think of this as your outsourced IT department.
