Before requesting a proposal
Questions before opening the first ticket.
How much does business IT support cost in Panama?
It depends on users, assets, sites, hours, channels, complexity, onsite work, tools, maintenance, third parties and service levels. We compare scenarios after inventorying the environment and demand.
What does an IT support service include?
Only what the scope defines. It may include help desk, maintenance, accounts, inventory, backup, monitoring and vendors. Projects, personal devices, data recovery, parts, licenses and after-hours work need clarification.
Do you provide remote and onsite support?
Yes, according to the agreement and case. Remote diagnosis is often faster; a visit is scheduled when physical access is needed, remote work is unsafe or onsite service is included by priority.
Does an SLA guarantee resolution within a set time?
Not always. It should distinguish response, work start, restoration and resolution, including pauses and dependencies. A part, vendor or customer access can prevent an exact resolution commitment.
Does support include cybersecurity?
It includes agreed operational practices and escalation, but does not replace an audit, penetration test, specialist monitoring or forensic response. Scope should identify controls, tools and responsibilities.
How do we change providers without losing information?
Use inventory, ticket and documentation exports, secure access transfer, revocation, contacts, contracts, warranties, open risks and an agreed transition period.
