What Is Break-Fix IT Support?

Break-fix is a reactive support model: when something breaks, you call a technician to fix it. You pay per incident, and there’s no ongoing service or monitoring. It may seem cost-effective in the short term, but it’s unpredictable, disruptive, and often more expensive in the long run.

The Problems with Reactive IT

Many small and mid-sized businesses in Dallas-Fort Worth still rely on break-fix IT—even though it’s risky. Here are some of the common problems with that model:

Unplanned downtime due to unexpected technical issues

No monitoring of potential risks or early warning signs

Higher costs from frequent emergency service calls

Lack of long-term IT strategy or system optimization

Security vulnerabilities left unchecked until it's too late

You don’t wait for your car engine to blow before getting an oil change. Your IT infrastructure deserves the same preventive care.

What Is Proactive IT Support?

Proactive IT support means actively monitoring your systems, applying updates, backing up data, and preventing problems before they impact your operations. This model is at the core of what Hudson MSP delivers to small businesses across North Texas.
