Many account and software administration tasks can be handled remotely when authorized access is available. Physical faults, installation, and some connectivity problems can require a site visit.
Use these questions to prepare a useful provider conversation and compare written proposals. Specific ITS coverage is confirmed after reviewing your environment.
Can managed IT support be provided remotely?
Many account and software administration tasks can be handled remotely when authorized access is available. Physical faults, installation, and some connectivity problems can require a site visit.
Do managed IT services include onsite visits?
Only if the agreement includes them. Discuss your exact business address, likely onsite tasks, scheduling, travel charges, and access requirements before choosing a package.
Does managed IT mean 24/7 support?
No. Service hours and response arrangements depend on the agreement. ITS does not promise 24/7 support or same-day onsite visits by default; those expectations must be discussed explicitly.
Plan for the work that cannot be remote
- Identify critical equipment and where it is installed.
- Name a site contact who can provide access.
- Clarify how urgent issues are triaged and when onsite work is arranged.
An example to discuss
If an office loses internet access, remote tools may also be unavailable. Discuss that situation before an outage so contacts and escalation steps are already clear.
