FAQs
What does the service include?
With the Essential Support contract, you can pick and choose which Technical IT Services you need. This could range from Help Desk support to the full design, purchasing and installation of your IT, broadband, and telecom systems.
Will I be locked into an annual contract?
Our Essential IT Support solutions are offered on the basis of a monthly payment, so you don’t need to commit to a year-long contract. We simply ask for a three-month notice period if you choose to end your contract.
What if I have time left over at the end of the month?
Not a problem. We keep a record of all hours worked, and if, at the end of the month, you have hours leftover then they will just roll over to the next month, with no expiry date.
Am I charged if my problem is resolved in 15 minutes?
Any problem resolved within 15 minutes on the phone or remote session won’t be charged.
We’re happy to carry out call-out visits to your offices, and only charge for the time we spend with you. We charge neither a call-out fee nor for travel time (within a 30-mile radius of Oxford).
