One monthly bill. Someone who owns it.

Everything above is a project until it is running, and then it is a thing that needs looking after. Managed IT is that: the website patched, the cloud watched, the backups restored on schedule, the email admin handled, the integrations kept alive, the minor change done by Thursday, and a person who answers. Priced per business, not per surprise.
