The Many Benefits of Upgrading from On-Demand IT Support to DAG Tech A+ Animal
Upgrading from on-demand IT support is hugely beneficial with powerful and comprehensive IT solutions!
What is an On-Demand Agreement?
An On-Demand Agreement (ODA) covers issues as they happen, without pro-active support. Issues occurring with your networks and computers will only build into dangerous security threats (cyber-attack, network outage, workforce inefficiency, etc). On-Demand Agreements do not provide response guarantees such as acknowledgement (MTTA – Mean Time To Acknowledge) or guaranteed task initiations (MTTI – Mean Time To Initiation).
Why am I currently using an On-Demand Agreement?
Many organizations start with ODA style contracts because they are easy to initiate and require no budget and no planning. Inevitably, all organizations will outgrow these style agreements as they increasingly understand the value and return-on-investment of great technology solutions and the risks and lost productivity of poor solutions.
What is a Service Level Agreement?
A Service Level Agreement is superior to an On-Demand Agreement. An SLA defines the level of service you expect from a vendor, laying out the metrics by which service is measured (KPI – key performance indicators), as well as remedies or penalties should agreed-on service levels not be achieved. It is a critical component of any technology vendor contract.
