IT Support Contract

An agreement between you, the client, and Syndrome, your managed service provider, that details the technical support and the core benefits that await you once our team is deployed.

The Need for an IT Support Contract

While organizations may have their own in-house IT support, most find it more cost effective to outsource this aspect of their business to a managed service provider like Syndome. Businesses looking for a more flexible, cost-effective IT solution often find that they gain not only cost advantages but an increased technical skill set, less internal administration and a greater level of service.

Your in-house IT staff does have the advantage of internal company knowledge and structure but lacks the greater technical knowledge and expertise of an outsourced IT team. As service providers we generally have a wider skill set incomparable to an internal team as we deal with many clients with varying infrastructure on a daily basis, have the budgets for regular IT training and a staff that has passion for all things tech.

What does an IT Support Contract contain?

An IT support contract is an agreement between two parties in which one party will provide IT services in exchange for payment. Contracting IT support means you will be hiring an outside service, like Syndrome, to ensure the technological aspects of your business continue to run without mishap. Or, if you do encounter technical difficulties, these difficulties will be fixed in a timely manner.

Although specific details will vary from contract to contract, some areas commonly covered in an IT support contract include:

Items covered

This will detail what hardware, software, and services will be maintained.

IT support exclusions

This will set out what technology or scenarios will not be covered by the contract.

Activities covered

This will detail what work needs to be done to maintain your technology. This could include checking security software, testing backup systems, installing software updates, and administering general technical support.

Service level agreement (SLA)

A service level agreement that sets out the aims and objectives in responding to and resolving IT faults or change requests. Each logged IT support request will have a priority assigned to it which our team will aim to respond to and resolve within a set time frame.
