Clearing grey areas is our job. A question we haven’t answered here? Ask it during the audit, and we’ll answer plainly. ### What does managed IT cover for an SME? Managed IT means entrusting the operation, monitoring and maintenance of your IT to an external provider, under contract. You get a defined scope, a written service level and a single point of contact. You’re not buying break-fix hours, you’re buying your SME’s reliable day-to-day operation. Avepto, based in Satigny in the canton of Geneva, runs this service for SMEs across French-speaking Switzerland. ### What’s the difference between IT break-fix and managed IT? Break-fix is reactive and billed per incident: someone steps in once the failure has happened. Managed IT is continuous and on a flat fee: monitoring and maintenance aim first to prevent the failure. Most of that work stays invisible to your teams. You pay a predictable monthly amount rather than a string of unplanned emergencies, and your IT stops being a source of surprises. ### Does a very small SME really need managed IT? Yes. A team of fewer than ten usually doesn’t need an in-house IT team, but it does need its IT to actually be managed. Avepto regularly supports professional practices, accounting firms and engineering offices of that size in French-speaking Switzerland. The scope adjusts to your number of devices, without carrying the fixed cost of a dedicated team. ### How does switching managed IT providers work? The takeover follows methodical steps over roughly 30 days: access takeover, audit, documentation, critical risk remediation, gradual handover, team communication, first report. The transition is designed to stay invisible to users. Your access and documentation become yours from the start. ### What budget should a French-speaking Swiss SME plan for managed IT? The package is priced per user per day, depending on the number of servers, the security level required, on-site intervention needs and support coverage. For an SME in French-speaking Switzerland, the observed order of magnitude sits between CHF 5.- and CHF 20.- per user per day. The audit refines the proposal to your scope.
