Explain how you can get around these issues with technology without having
at least a skeletal technical services staff to handle issues?

My last client has a 1400 desktop environment running off a single Squid
server, using central-managed browser configuration + proxy.pac for the
actual service configuration. Works fine for their requirement.
They've had no complaints since I updated their Squid environment (since
not touching an environment for 5 years does result in degraded performance;
they had no system administrator for their squid stuff which "just worked"
for said 5 years..)
