Slide 1: There are numerous network support companies of which some are great, some are good and some are bad for your organization. Just like there are a lot of support firms to select from, there are plenty of ways available to get assistance from a network support company. As many companies are nowadays changing their ways of delivering IT services to clients, you also need to choose the type of service you want for your organization. Mainly, there are two types of network support services available, namely managed IT services and break-fix services. In managed network type, a network support company takes the full responsibility of your network infrastructure and takes care of everything, from network planning, designing and implementation to effective maintenance and remote support solutions. These firms usually have dedicated teams of highly professional desktop engineers who are aware of latest technologies and are certified from major technology players like Microsoft, Cisco and Linux, ensuring you always get an expert to resolve your issues. Some companies also provide proactive network monitoring to identify the issues even before they arise, which increases the network uptime and augments the growth of your business by leaps and bounds. With managed services, you can expect to pay fixed fee. Often, the fee is based on several variables, though per server/workstation, per employee or dollar amount which is agreed upon on quarterly basis are all standard. These services can benefit you in two ways: first that you are able to forecast your monthly cost for network support, and second that you will get an instant response to every problem without paying extra for that, preventing network downtime. The benefit of break-fix services is that you will not have to pay any monthly fee. Usually, this type of service is the best for small-size firms that cannot afford to be under any computer network support contract. While it is less expensive in short-term, the long-term effects of not having regular monitoring and maintenance support can be drastic. After you have decided on the right way to go for your business, it is the time to select the right network support company. Ask these basic questions from your prospective network support provider: • How long have they been in the network support business? • What platform will they use to support and monitor your network infrastructure? • What are their service level agreements? • What professional firms (like Cisco, Microsoft and NetApp) are they member of? • Can they provide at least 3 references of their clients? When you speak with any of company's previous clients, the questions you ask them are as important as the questions you ask the providers. The benefit is that client references, until they are the family, do not care if you choose the firm or not. Ask the questions that will give more detailed response rather than simple 'yes/no' answers, and you will get a better idea of how doing business with this provider is going to be.
