What sets you apart from other IT service providers?

resize 6

Our small size allows us to be more agile in adopting new platforms and practices that have proven to help our clients. We also enjoy cultivating a personal relationship with each of our customers, and want to hear their feedback outside of IT troubleshooting. We don’t look at IT issues as a “one-time” problem, but we examine the underlying causes for your issue. And, based on our findings, we then talk to our clients to identify specific IT solutions and IT strategies that would benefit not only their business but also our business-client relations.

Can you help me lease or purchase IT equipment?

8 local IT support NY

Yes! We have great business partner relationships with companies like Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Lenovo, and other tech companies. We’re able to leverage these partnerships with our suppliers into significant discounts for our clients.

What kind of contract do I have to sign?

resize 5

Our usual contract outlines our deliverables, the responsibilities we have to you as our customer, and an agreement to maintain confidentiality. Every contract is negotiable, so if there’s something you’d like to discuss, just let us know.

If I have an onsite problem, will you send a technician to help?

resize 13

Of course! All our contracts include onsite support, although most common support questions can be resolved remotely. In the event of a hardware or network failure, a technician will be dispatched to your place of business ASAP.

What is the average ticket response time?

resize 11

Though some tickets take more, and some take less, our average response time is about 15 minutes for non-emergency questions. In emergency situations, we understand that time is a priority, so our response time is well under 5 minutes.

 

What industries are you familiar with?

resize 1

We’re able to work with clients from nearly every sector of business, but our current clients operate in the following industries:

  • Legal
  • Healthcare
  • Real Estate
  • Finance
  • Media
  • Startups

If your business doesn’t fall into any one of these categories, we’ll work one-on-one with you to create an IT service plan that meets your needs.

 

What if I plan to grow my business in the future? Can a managed service provider help with that?

How we work with our partners

At ETech 7, we keep extensive documentation from the very first time we contact a client. As we create an IT framework for your business, we keep what amounts to a manual of how your business’s IT works. If you want to scale your business up, you can take cues from our documentation to build on a larger scale - from small businesses to larger corporations, ETech 7 is there to assist you along the way.

Most of the technologies that we implement, like virtualized hosted servers and VDIs, lend themselves well to growth. Ultimately, our goal for our clients is to ensure their operational continuity and development.  

What does your typical managed service plan include?

resize 7

Each of our clients may request an IT package specific to their own needs, but some of the basic services that we offer are:

  • Complete System Monitoring
  • Anti-Virus/Spam/Malware Filters
  • Managed Backups
  • Networking Setup and Control
  • Remote Response
  • Standard Reporting
  • Security Basics
  • Preventative Maintenance
  • VOIP
  • User Experience Monitoring

 

Some other features are available as add-ons, and can choose which options you’d like to include or exclude in your plan.

What is the cost of your typical managed service plan?

resize 10

Our standard pricing breaks down as follows:

$50 per workstation

$200 per network

$250 per server

This amount can vary depending on how you’d like to configure your setup. Give us a call if you’d like a quote!

Can you handle vendor coordination (3rd party vendor management) for us?

resize 12

We like to think of vendor management as one of the greatest assets of a managed service provider. We’re able to manage all aspects of your IT infrastructure, from buying power cables, to server maintenance. If you need to speak to your ISP, have a copy machine serviced, or get an update from a software company, we can handle those vendors for you. Instead of waiting on the line with different third-party vendors, just give us a call and we’ll do the legwork while you get business done. We make sure to maintain accurate records of the vendors you use, their warranties and SLA’s, to make sure that your questions are dealt with efficiently and promptly.

Do you offer 24/7 support?

resize 15

Just because most businesses work 9 to 5 doesn’t mean you do. At ETech 7, we recognize that people can run into IT problems at any hour, so we’re happy to offer 24/7 support, 365 days a year.

Are there any hardware requirements to work with ETech 7?

resize 16

Yes. Just like most modern software won’t run well (or at all) on a computer that has, say, 4MB of memory, we have certain hardware requirements for our clients. Our IT protocols are geared towards working with customers that assume a basic level of hardware infrastructure. Without these requirements, the efficiency and security of our process would be compromised. If you’re unsure about where to start looking for enterprise hardware, we’re more than happy to help with some recommendations.

How will you keep my data safe?

resize 2

At ETech 7, we know how important your data is and we also know how important it is to keep your data safe. The last thing anyone wants to hear is that their data has been breached, or worse, lost. We work with all our clients to set up a comprehensive data security plan, to make sure your data is as secure as possible. Some of the ways we accomplish this are:

    • Offsite data storage means that even if your work environment is compromised, your information stays safe in a separate location.
    • Frequent backups of your data to a secure server
 
  • Fireproof and waterproof hardware that can survive all kinds of natural disasters

What credentials do your IT technicians have?

resize 14

Our team is always working to be on the cutting-edge of the information technology world, and have achieved industry certifications such as:

 

  • CompTIA Certifications: | Security+ | A+ | Network+ | Server+ 
  • Microsoft Certifications: | Systems Administrator | Professional |

I don't need a whole IT team, just someone to set up my office. Can you help with that?

resize 9

Of course! ETech 7 offers IT consulting services, and can provide a thorough assessment of your business's IT needs. No matter what industry you're in, it's critical to fully integrate your business with your IT infrastructure so you can function effectively and efficiently. Just get in touch with us to set up a consultation.
