  <title>Best Of CCP: 158: Balanced Billing the Partner Plan with Richard Wingfield of Envision Design</title>
  <description>Recorded on may 31, 2016 TOPICS: Richard B. Wingfield - Head Geek, Envision Design, LLC of Houston Texas:&amp;quot;I have been using Mac's in business since original Macintosh in '84 and Envision, as a consulting firm, has been around since 1993. Started part time as sole proprietor and 20+ years later we are now a firm of 5 full time consultants here in Houston. &amp;amp;nbsp; I tell people I am a &amp;quot;recovering architect&amp;quot; as I got my start in technology practicing architecture and being the &amp;quot;tech guy&amp;quot; in every firm I ever worked for. I even helped manage a DEC vax/vms system for a firm in Austin soon after graduating from The University of Texas with a degree in Architecture.&amp;amp;nbsp; This episode examines Richards own &amp;quot;recipe' for Managed Services. Here is a brief description as discussed: … Simple Hybrid Partner Plan is setup so almost all the clients “get it” and are not confused about how it works - 3 part invoice is made up of - small monthly fee per device (each mac, each windows, each iOS or android, each server… fees like $25/mac or $49/windows or $250/server etc) client must enroll ALL computers in the office (cant get cheap and have some on the system and some not) - our “consluting fee” - which is time for humans to do the work to manage, monitor, secure and maintain systems and ALWAYS includes a minimum of one 2hr visit per month&amp;amp;nbsp; (more if needed or requested) - fees for services or hosting (if we host kerio email or rackspace or web or crashplan backups or re-sell backblaze)&amp;amp;nbsp; ----------------------------------- You can find more about Richard and &amp;amp;nbsp;Envision design here: Web: http://www.envisiondesign.net &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
