Plan 02 · Administration
Your platforms, devices, and
SaaS sprawl — owned.
The role that turns a pile of unmanaged tools into a managed environment: MDM, identity, vendor lifecycle, and the projects that keep pace with your growth. Everything configured on purpose, and documented as it happens.
The environment, end to end.
Every laptop enrolled, encrypted, patched, and recoverable. Automated where it should be.
What you're paying for, who's using it, what overlaps, and what renews next month. Redundant tooling is usually where we find the first month's savings.
SSO where it belongs, access mapped to roles, and offboarding that actually closes every door.
Migrations, rollouts, new platforms — scoped, executed, and handed off with documentation.
The environment on paper, current, because continuity is the deliverable.
Phishing tests, security posture, and cost reviews on a schedule, not when something breaks.
Most startups fund this role out of what it recovers.
Duplicate tools across teams, forgotten seats, auto-renewals nobody negotiated — unmanaged SaaS quietly compounds. A managed lifecycle usually pays for a meaningful share of the engagement. Related: our guide to reducing tech spend without hurting productivity →
$4k – $7k flat monthly — or $1.5k – $4k as an add-on.
The equivalent full-time hire runs $7.5k – $9.6k fully loaded. As an add-on to a Support engagement, Administration starts at $1.5k/mo. First three months month-to-month, then quarterly.
Frequently asked
Which MDM and identity platforms do you work with?
The ones appropriate to your stack and stage — we're vendor-neutral and hold no reseller relationships that bias the recommendation. Stage-appropriate is the operating principle: the right tool at 20 people is rarely the right tool at 200.
Can you take over an environment someone else set up?
Yes — inheriting half-configured environments is most of what we do. The engagement starts with an assessment of current state; the remediation becomes the early project list.
Do you replace our tools or work with what we have?
Work with what you have, by default. Consolidation happens where the overlap is costing you money or security posture, and it's proposed with the numbers attached, not imposed.
What's in the quarterly reviews?
A simulated phishing test with results by team, a security posture review against your baseline, and a cost review of the SaaS portfolio — deltas, renewals ahead, and recommendations. All documented and shared with leadership.
Is Administration enough without the Support role?
If your team is small and low-request-volume, yes — Administration runs the environment and fields what comes up. As headcount grows, the request stream usually justifies adding Support.
