More than just technical experts, our people possess strong communication skills that allow them to translate technical and complex concepts into simple explanations for a non-technical audience. And they do it with a smile and a positive attitude
How is our time spent?
It’s important for every business to know where their money is being spent. Most businesses may not realize how much work it takes to maintaining their IT infrastructure, telecommunication, and data security. These are the “invisible” aspects of technology as opposed to the “visible” things like desktop support, application upgrades, and replacing hardware. We track and report on six different categories so you know where our time is being spent.
Time Sheets
We complete electronic time sheets daily that include a description of our work and the time we spent on any of the six different IT categories. These categories are User Support, Infrastructure, Security, Telcom and Media, Business Continuity Planning (BCP), and Business Applications. Our time sheet report is sent to you once or twice a month and provides both details of every day we worked and total time spent during the period.
Helpdesk Ticketing System
Each IT request is tracked in our central helpdesk ticketing system. It‘s simple to use. Just send an email message. Once your email is received you’ll receive a confirmation email along with a ticket request number. When your request is completed you’ll receive an email that the ticket was closed. We can provide weekly reports that can be automatically sent to you listing all open and closed tickets.
