Bucket Hours

Bucket hours.Experts when you need them.

Prepay a bank of EMPIST hours, then use them for projects, overflow, or specialty work, without a full Managed IT contract.

26+ years of hands-on IT expertise

IT capacity on tap, not on a leash

Bucket hours are a prepaid pool of EMPIST engineer time. Fill knowledge gaps, staff a project, or cover spikes, then stop when the work is done. Agreements start as low as 100 hours per year.

  • Buy the hours you need, scale later
  • No long-term Managed IT commitment required
  • Same EMPIST experts you’d get on a full engagement
Why it matters

When a full MSP contract isn’t the right fit

Flexibility for teams that still need senior hands on demand.

  • Fill skill gaps fast

    Pull in specialists for design, migrations, or reviews without hiring full-time or waiting on a vendor queue.

  • Cover overflow without overtime chaos

    When your internal team is slammed, draw hours for operational support and keep projects moving.

  • Predictable spend, visible balance

    You know what you prepaid. Hours are logged against the bank so finance and IT both see what’s left.
