Your own engineers
Specific engineers who know your setup by heart are assigned to the company, along with a dedicated manager you can take any question to.
Six components. Three about the technology and three about management: who is responsible, what gets measured and how decisions are made.

Fifteen minutes to respond on critical issues, a separate recovery target for each priority level and a penalty that we pay.
A monthly export from the system: requests by priority, target compliance, hardware condition and open risks.
Servers, virtual machines, the network, backups and monitoring that raises the alarm before any employee notices the problem.
Security tools, access rights, event analysis and compliance treated as continuous work rather than a one-off run-up to an inspection.
Every three months we bring a list of changes with priorities and prices. It lets you plan the hardware budget in advance rather than plug holes after the fact.
The numbers are written into the contract and exported from the system. You can comment on them however you like; the values themselves do not change.
The most valuable line in the report is recurring failures. A dozen identical requests in a month does not mean weak support; it means nobody has touched the source of the problem. We write such patterns out on a separate line and propose changing the cause rather than heroically closing the consequences.
These are specific people, not shuffled from one ticket to the next. They will not sit in your office permanently and they are not devoted to you alone: a serious incident brings in the whole shift. The point is different - you never have to explain from scratch where everything is.
A missed deadline lands in the monthly export and under the contract we pay a share of the monthly fee. The obligation runs one way, in your favour. That arrangement disciplines far better than promises at a meeting.
At that scale a contractor is taken on not instead of your team but in addition: night duty, rare skills in security and networking, taking routine requests off the first line. Your own people get to work on development and internal systems instead of resetting passwords and changing cartridges.
We hand over the documentation, diagrams, passwords and access, and brief whoever comes next. The procedure is in the contract and we charge nothing for it. Holding a client by making sure nobody else can make sense of things is not our idea of business.
