The Real Cost of Poor IT Support

You’ve likely experienced it before—slow response times, unresolved tickets, endless call queues, or support teams that don’t understand your business or area.

But here’s what that really costs:

• 📉 Productivity loss from waiting on fixes
• 🔓 Security risks due to unpatched systems or weak passwords
• 🧾 Unexpected costs from downtime, ransomware, or poor licensing decisions
• 😡 Frustrated staff and clients who can’t rely on your systems

A proactive, locally based MSP like Sonar IT can eliminate these risks.
