Unpredictable IT costs: Monthly invoices varying wildly, hourly billing creating budget chaos (switch timeline: after annual planning reveals 2x projections)
Failed compliance audit: PIPEDA, PHIPA, or SOC 2 gaps current provider can't address (switch timeline: 30-60 days to remediate)
Microsoft 365 migration needed: On-premise Exchange failing, need cloud expertise (switch timeline: when server reaches end-of-life)
