Citrix Nerds Monthly Managed Services Contract Fixed Monthly Services Operational Budget Cost Starting at $4,000 The Citrix Nerds Monthly Managed Services contract provides cost effective Citrix services starting at $4,000 monthly to augment or replace fulltime staff costing $75,000+ annually. This service is for medium sized organizations that prefer a fixed monthly cost rather than hiring fulltime staff or to augment fulltime staff with a contracted Citrix expert. The service contract includes up to 20 hours labor per month to do with as you like. Imagine a top level Citrix engineer that's basically part of your staff that takes care of day-to-day Citrix operational tasks or new infrasturcture build outs.
