Depends on your goal. Are you an IT guy look for a way to work? Then it makes no sense because what you do and what they do overlap.
Are you a business / sales guy who wants to own a business but don't want to do IT? Then you need a service like this.

It's a great option for businesses that specialize in engineering/project services, but also need to offer end-to-end support.

When they told me they offered this, I was but I do that. He said are you planning on hiring anyone? I said NO. He said at some point you will need this service if you don't hire employees. NOW that is cheaper than employees!

yeah, maybe true.

Anyone interested in a big Exchange Upgrade for a hospital? I have a contact there and I was told another MSP quoted around $9k for labor. I have the experience for doing the actual work. I just dont have a system in place yet. I would like to work with someone if anyone is interested.
They are migrating from Exchange 2003 to 2010

We have the ability to do that.

How many mailboxes? Are they moving to O365 or another inhouse Exchange server?
$9K could be a pretty good price depending on so many factors.

Right! It could also be way lowball. Being medical, there's encryption and DLP requirements to contend with, as well as message retention and granular message recovery. Also, if it's a 100-person hospital, or 20,000, not to mention if the contractor's doing the actual move, or if they're just doing setup and basic training.

In all fairness guys, he just posted to see if anyone was interested. anyone who has done this before knows that there are a ton of variables, and that the aforementioned opportunity lacks all of the needed info to throw down a quote. Seemed to me that it was just probe to interest . That being said, if you'd like to get some more info, or get those of us who are interested a contact person, we can proceed with the bidding war
-
I dont know all the details yet, but I understand that the pricing could be low, fair, or high.
