Why teams choose Cobham for monitoring

How this works

Scoped before you sign.

Every engagement starts with a written brief that defines deliverables, duration, and a fixed price. No hourly billing. No vague statements of work. No surprise invoices when the scope runs over.

01

30-minute call

We map your current situation and tell you whether this engagement type fits the work in front of you. No obligation.

02

Written brief

A plain-language document: what we deliver, when, and at what fixed price. If the scope changes, we renegotiate before extra work begins.

03

Delivery & handoff

Runbooks, IaC, documentation, and full access credentials handed to your team at close. You own everything. No vendor lock.

Pricing

Flat rates. No markup. No surprises.

A

You own the cloud bill

Your cloud provider bills you directly at published prices. We never touch the invoice, never add a margin.

B

One flat rate

One number per engagement. The rate covers the full scope defined in the contract. No hourly overage.

C

30-day exit on retainers

Cancel any monthly retainer with 30 days written notice. Full handoff included at no extra cost.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

What does business hours mean exactly?
9am to 6pm in your primary time zone, Monday through Friday. Public holidays in the US are excluded. Out-of-hours incidents are logged and addressed at the start of the next business day.
How do you alert us during an incident?
Via a dedicated Slack channel by default. We also support PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or email escalation. Alert routing is configured during onboarding.
Can we upgrade from Monitoring to Managed Operations?
Yes, with 30 days notice. Retainer tiers can be upgraded or downgraded at any time with 30 days written notice. Downgrading mid-incident is not permitted.
What monitoring tooling do you use?
Prometheus and Grafana for metrics, Loki for logs, and Uptime Kuma for external uptime checks -- all self-hosted on your infrastructure. We do not require you to sign up for third-party SaaS monitoring platforms.
