At High Performance MSP, the best IT outcomes come from clarity, trust, and partnership. That’s why every engagement is backed by a Managed Services Agreement — a simple, no-surprises contract that sets expectations and keeps your business protected.
Our preferred model is monthly recurring contracts (MRR) — because consistency allows us to deliver proactive strategy, stronger relationships, and measurable results. Every monthly plan includes our 10 Core Services, a dedicated account partner, and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs).
For projects or one-off needs, we also provide Time & Materials billing — though our structure makes it clear that business-hours coverage is the smartest, most cost-effective way to work with us.
