# blueBox - Your Complete IT Stack
|
|
|
|
**One package. One provider. One monthly price.**
|

|

|
|
## What is blueBox?
|
|
|
|
blueBox is digiBandit's all-in-one IT solution for small and mid-sized businesses. Instead of juggling multiple vendors for your server, website, business software, and IT support, blueBox bundles everything into a single managed package.
|
|
|
|
We build it. We host it. We manage it. You focus on running your business.
|
|

## Pricing
|
|
|
|
### Monthly
|
|
|
|
| | Per User |
|
|
|---|---------|
|
|
| blueBox Managed (all-inclusive) | $170/month |
|
|
|
|
*Includes all monitoring, security, backup, support, and management. No hidden fees.*
|
|
|
|
### One-Time Setup
|
|
|
|
| Component | Typical Range |
|
|
|-----------|--------------|
|
|
| blueBox Ultra (server hardware + deployment) | $3,000 - $15,000 |
|
|
| blueBox Web (custom website) | $1,500 - $4,000 |
|
|
| blueBox BOOM (business software setup) | $500 - $5,000 |
|
|
|
|
*One-time costs depend on business size and requirements. Detailed quote provided after free consultation.*
|
|
|
|
### Example: 10-User Business
|
|
|
|
- **Monthly:** $1,700/month (all IT managed)
|
|
- **One-time:** ~$13,500 (server + website + software)
|
|
- **Year 1 total:** ~$33,900

## Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
|
**What size business is blueBox for?**
|
|
Businesses with 5-50 employees across most industries outside of heavily regulated sectors.
|
|
|
|
**Do I need to buy new computers?**
|
|
Not necessarily. We assess your existing hardware and only recommend replacements where needed.
|
|
|
|
**What about my existing software (QuickBooks, Office, etc.)?**
|
|
blueBox integrates with your existing tools. We don't replace what's working - we fill the gaps and add what's missing.
|
|
|
|
**Can I start with just one component?**
|
|
Yes. While the full stack delivers the most value, you can start with any individual component and add more later.
|
|
|
|
**What happens if I need on-site help?**
|
|
On-site visits are available at $125/hour. Most issues are resolved remotely, but we're local and available.
|
|
|
|
**Is there a contract?**
|
|
We recommend a 12-month commitment for full deployment and optimization, but we don't lock you in with punitive terms.
