Define the help your team needs
List your users, locations, systems, and recurring issues. Decide whether you need full management or support for specific responsibilities.
Clarify the support agreement
Ask what is covered, how requests are submitted, and how business-hours and after-hours assistance differ. Agree on escalation and response expectations.
Review security and recovery together
Understand who manages accounts, updates, protective tools, and backups. Avoid gaps between different providers’ responsibilities.
Look for a practical roadmap
A good partnership includes clear recommendations, equipment planning, and regular conversations about changing business needs.
Discuss the right approach for your business.
