IT & MANAGED SERVICES
Your Delivery Costs Are Rising. Your Contracts Are Not.
Flint ValueOps™ helps IT and managed services firms protect delivery margins, improve service efficiency, and build an operationally differentiated client proposition.
THE PROBLEM
IT and managed services delivery carries a specific cost pattern.
- Managed services delivery costs growing against fixed-price contracts—margin pressure is structural
- High L1 dependency and manual escalation adding cost without adding client value
- Multi-client environments with fragmented tooling and inconsistent service quality
- Difficulty demonstrating continuous value improvement to clients beyond SLA reporting
- Automation initiatives in place but ROI is unclear or contested
- AI interest from clients with no clear answer on how to deliver it
WHAT WE TYPICALLY FIND
Typical Findings
- Delivery overhead—coordination, reporting, escalation—consumes 20–35% of team capacity
- L1 resolution rate is lower than industry benchmark due to workflow, not skill, gaps
- Client reporting is manual and reactive—not insight-driven
- Cost per service is rarely calculated at contract level, making margin management reactive
- Tools are licensed but underused—configuration gaps reduce automation effectiveness
