• How are contracts structured?

  Our contracts have an initial term of 12 months, after which they become month-to-month.

  Sagiss uses a hybrid pricing model. This means we charge a fixed fee for our proactive services and bill hourly for reactive services. Many other providers use an "all you can eat" model that is billed by the user or device. It is important to note there is no true "all you can eat" pricing. Software licensing, hardware, and project work are rarely covered. Depending on the provider, things like new workstation configurations, user on/off-boardings, and application updates may not be covered.

  We believe our hybrid model appropriately balances costs and the service requirements of our clients.
