A growing proportion of Small and Medium sized enterprises have become so dependent on their IT/network operations that they can no longer afford downtime or poor performance. As a consequence, they are now evaluating the quality of support from their IT/network suppliers based on how well they prevent problems from occurring within their computer network rather than how quickly they resolve problems.
To meet these rising expectations, Information Technology and computer networking service and support companies must deliver a set of ‘managed services’ that include ongoing monitoring and proactive management capabilities.
Essentially, Flat Fee I.T. is a defined set of services that are delivered for a flat fee on a recurring basis.
Flat fee I.T. shifts our relationship with our client from a time and materials model, where something needed to break for us to get paid, to ‘flat fee for service’ where our highest profits and happiest customers, come from things not breaking. The burden to maintain stability and to minimize disruption of service falls to us the service provider.
This paradigm shift in service delivery is the result of new technology developed over the last several years, which allows our technical staff to remotely manage and maintain data networks, thereby saving our clients downtime, which saves them money.
Our Flat Fee I.T. offering allows us to continually monitor their business critical functions such as Servers, Firewalls, remote offices, key desktops as well as Line-of-Business Applications. The objective for both TCS and our clients is maximum uptime, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Because the needs of our customers vary we have created more than one type of Flat Fee offering. These range from all-you-can-eat 24x7 to routine monthly maintenance of your critical servers for a flat fee.
Each client is unique and so a careful assessment is required before we can provide a Flat Fee proposal.
