Outsourced vs In-House: The Real Numbers
An in-house IT hire's advertised cost is just the salary line — the median in-house IT specialist runs around $104,420/year (≈R1.93 million) before benefits, training, and cover for leave. The bigger hidden cost is turnover: help desk staff have one of the highest attrition rates in tech, averaging under 2.5 years before moving on, with each departure costing roughly $12,000 (≈R222,000) to replace.
Outsourced support saves 40-70% versus that fully-loaded in-house cost, with no recruitment cycle and no turnover risk to plan around — and 91% of businesses that switch report costs are lower or the same afterward, not higher.

Why choose IT Chad over a traditional "break-fix" IT vendor?
Traditional vendors only make money when your tech breaks. At IT Chad, with 18+ years of hands-on experience, we operate on a proactive model: we maintain your infrastructure so it never breaks in the first place. You get a dedicated senior technician (Christopher Du Plessis) who knows your setup inside and out.
Is outsourced IT support cheaper than hiring an in-house IT person?
In almost every case for a small or mid-sized business, yes. Outsourcing typically saves 40-70% versus the fully-loaded cost of an in-house hire once salary, benefits, recruitment, and turnover are counted — in-house help desk staff have one of the highest attrition rates in tech, averaging under 2.5 years before moving on.
How fast is your response time when something breaks?
Most issues are resolved the same business day via encrypted remote sessions, with on-site dispatch across Gauteng reserved for hardware failures that genuinely need hands on the machine. You speak directly to a senior technician, not a tier-1 call centre queue.
Will service quality suffer compared to an in-house IT person?
Industry data says no for most businesses — roughly 80% of organisations that switch to outsourced support report the experience is the same or better, since a managed provider spreads coverage across a bench of specialists rather than relying on one person who might be on leave or out of their depth on a specific issue.
