There are three major components of Premier Care, all provided by members of your Care Team.
Consultations: As inspections are completed, our Care Team reports (in plain English) how your existing technology aligns with your business goals, along with strategic recommendations, so you can make better business decisions. We help develop your long-term technology strategy, budget, and acquisition processes based on risk and impact. This results in more effective IT with more predictable costs.
Proactive and Reactive Care: Our Care Team focuses on minimizing disruptive experiences by proactively maintaining and reactively supporting your business technology. We monitor and manage your systems 24/7/365, install critical patches and security updates, maintain antivirus compliance, validate backups, monitor critical services, and track open issues. (This is typically done during your off hours, so you stay as safe and productive as possible.) When an issue arises, the Care Team is your first point of contact for all support requests. Want help with Outlook? Need to add a user or change security permissions? No problem! Contact us as often as needed, without fear of incurring extra charges (except for matters that fall outside of Premier Care, as described below).
