How Does Your Current Computer Guy Stack Up?

by | Dec 2, 2015

Take this quiz to find out! How can you tell if you are receiving poor or substandard service? How do you know if your computer guy is doing everything possible to secure your network from downtime, cyber-criminals, data loss, or other frustrating and expensive disasters? Could your current computer guy actually be jeopardizing your network?

If your computer support company does not score a “YES” on every point, you could be paying for substandard support.

  • Do their technicians maintain current vendor certifications and participate in ongoing training?
  • Are you confident they aren’t learning on your time?
  • Do they give you their full attention rather than seeming constantly rushed?
  • Are they adamant about backing up your network and having a disaster recovery plan in place?
  • Do they offer to meet with you regularly to review your business plans, your network status and their own performance in supporting your company?
  • Do they provide frequent updates, status reports and follow-up calls and e-mails so you don’t have to manage their progress on projects?
  • Do they offer flat-rate or fixed-fee project quotes, rather than giving themselves a wide-open playing field with “time and materials”?
