Are Contracts-as-a-Service the Next Big Thing for MSPs?

I recently interviewed Robert Scott, Managing Partner of Scott & Scott, a technology law firm. We talked about some things to look out for when setting up your MSP's legal agreements, but what I really wanted to learn more about was Contracts-as-a-Service.

Scott & Scott started offering an MSA where the big multi-thousand dollar investment can be spread across a multi-year term. They also offer maintenance for the agreement.

Pricing

Contracts-as-a-Service

  • Setup Fee - $300 up front
  • Monthly Fee - $300 (36/months)
  • Maintenance Fee - $185/month (starting on month 37)

Perpetual Model

  • Contract Fee - $10,000 (around)
  • Annual Maintenance - $2,200 (~$185/month)

Is it worth it?

As an IT professional, you need to have a solid MSA to provide services to your clients. Having the option to pay for the agreement across a 36-month term is worth considering—especially when you weigh the fact that an attorney is making quarterly revisions as you change your tech solution stack, laws change, and new precedence is set through court decisions.

Check out the interview with Rob and see for yourself.
