Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does a managed IT agreement cover?
It should specify covered assets, support hours, responsibilities, escalation routes and service reviews.
2. Can we retain our internal IT staff?
Yes. Responsibilities can be divided so internal teams retain ownership of selected systems or decisions.
3. Which specialist service should we start with?
Begin with the business outcome and current constraints. The relevant option may be application support & maintenance or another service in this category; a discovery discussion helps determine the fit.
4. Can we combine services in one project?
Yes, where the requirements justify it. Dependencies between application support & maintenance and technical training & support should be captured in one scope with clear ownership.
5. What should we prepare for an initial discussion?
Bring a summary of your goals, existing systems, key users, budget constraints and any important deadlines. Technical documentation is helpful but not essential at the outset.
6. Will we receive a written scope?
The proposed work should define activities, deliverables, assumptions, responsibilities and acceptance criteria before implementation begins.
7. Do we need to replace our existing systems?
Not automatically. Existing systems and processes should be assessed before replacement, integration or improvement is recommended.
8. Can the work be delivered in phases?
Where dependencies allow, phases can reduce disruption and make it easier to review results before extending the engagement.
9. How is the quotation determined?
Pricing depends on complexity, integrations, current system condition, delivery constraints and the agreed level of support; an assessment is needed for a meaningful quotation.
10. What happens after delivery?
Handover should cover documentation, agreed training, support responsibilities and any further work required. Ongoing services are scoped separately.
