Fixing the Cost of IT Support

For some reason, no one seems to realize value in maintenance or support of their technology infrastructure. Most small business try to live on the premise of "when it breaks, we will buy another" in order to keep their cash free. The problem with this approach is overall it will cost the firm more in lost productivity, time, and wasteful purchasing.

Vision Computer Solutions (http://www.vcsolutions.com) provides support and proactive maintenance services of all computers, servers, and networks at a fixed cost allowing for business owners to budget accordingly. The days of time and material services are coming to an end. With the economy in the rough state it currently is in people want to keep their costs as manageable and predictable as possible.

Managed Services is a term that is thrown around all too much in the IT industry now with everyone claiming they are an MSP. A true MSP, such as my firm, has the technology in place to provide full on support and technology services at a reasonable fixed cost without sacrificing quality of service, or subcontracting the client to a phone bank in Mumbai.
